Presently, there is no formal process for selecting featured content. This may change if need demands. The maintainers of the portal will select content listed here at their discretion, or, in absence of any suggestions, at their whim.

[edit] Article of the week suggestions

I've also been using Featured articles or articles rated A-Class on the Mathematics articles by quality list, with a bias towards those articles on more obscure areas of maths, and which have a leading picture. I tend to simply copy the introduction and said picture. Tompw 11:09, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

At the time of writing, all FA or A-class maths articles listed at Mathematics articles by quality page have used as AotW, or are on the list to apear. (Two exceptions: Margin of error, where the current image is too detailed to be used at such as small size; and Mathematics, as it's the main article for the portal).

[edit] Upcoming articles

The following is a list of links for the next few weeks, together with the date things change.

[edit] Homotopy groups of spheres

I'd like to suggest Homotopy groups of spheres for a article of the week, its been receiving quite a bit of editor attention. E8 (mathematics) might also be worth considering. --Salix alba (talk) 19:24, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Did you know... suggestions and current contents

  • The DYK box displays a selection of DYK items, which are located at the subpages linked to below.
  • The DYK items are transcluded on the main Portal:Mathematics page using {{Did you know|total=12|show=9}}.
  • Each day, a new item appears at the top of the list, and the one at the bottom disapears.
    • The show parameter is the number of items to be displayed, and cannot be more than 20, nor more than the value of "total".
      It should be varied to minimise whitespace in the portal. (This will change according to the size of the Article of the Week and Picture of the Month boxes.) No matter what the value of the show parameter, the first item on the list will be the same.
    • The total parameter should be the number of subpages (i.e., the toal number of DYK items available).
      This should be changed when new DYK items are added (use the redlinks below), and there is no upper limit.
  • Any problems or further questions, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Tompw (talk) 12:36, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
