What To Feature[]
Featured Articles[]
The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best The Fable Wiki has to offer. They appear in the Featured Content area of the Main Page and are meant to be changed periodically. This section is designed for nominations and voting on the next article to be featured there.
In order to nominate an article, you should first check that it meets the requirements to be a featured article.
An article must...
- ...be well written and detailed
- ...be unbiased, from a neutral point of view
- ...be sourced with all available sources and appearances
- ...follow the Manual of Style
- ...not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
- ...not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. stub, images needed, incomplete)
- ...have a concise introduction that can be used for the Main Page Features column
- ...be of a sufficient length
- ...have images, if appropriate, that follow the Image use policy
- ...have a completed infobox if suitable
For more information on what makes a featured article, see Wikipedia:What is a featured article.
Nominating an Article
- First, choose an article you find is worthy of featured status; see criteria above.
- Add it to the Article Nominations list in the same format as the example.
- Others will review the nomination, and can then vote on it (see below). Any objections should always be accompanied by a reason, and should be signed with ~~~~.
- Any article that has had an objection to its nomination can be improved during the nomination period and will still be considered. Any improvements as a direct result of objections should be noted below the corresponding objection, and be signed with ~~~~.
- A user should only nominate one article at a time.
- Admins reserve the right to:
- reject a nominated article if they feel it does not conform to the criteria
- choose the final articles
How to Vote
- Before voting, be sure to read the articles completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
- Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or oppose the article's nomination.
- Once all opposition complaints have been solved (or the article has 5 supports and no outstanding complaints after a certain period of time), the article will be reviewed by an admin before being added to the queue and officially becoming known as a "featured article".

Featured Video[]
The featured video on the wiki is a Fable video featured to show interesting information about the series or to demonstrate the series' gameplay. Videos appear in the Featured Content area of the Main Page and are meant to be changed periodically. This section is designed for nominations and discussion on the next video to be featured there.
Most of the videos featured in the Featured Video box are embedded from YouTube, and can therefore be identified by their YouTube view code. In order to nominate a video, you should first check that it meets the requirements to be featured.
A video must...
- ...be of a suitable quality and resolution
- ...have good contrast and colour balance
- ...have a stable recording; i.e. no camera shake or poor focusing

- First, choose a video you find is worthy of featured status; see criteria above.
- Add it to the Video Nominations list in the same format as the example.
- Others will review the nomination and comment on it. All comments should be signed with ~~~~.
- At the end of the nomination period, an admin will review the nominations and pick the video they think conforms best to the criteria, taking into account the comments provided. They will then add it to the Featured Video box on the Main Page.
- Admins reserve the right to:
- remove inappropriate videos from this process
- feature any of the nominated videos if considered topical
- The featured video need not be from YouTube, but YouTube videos are preferred. Any other video can be suggested, as long as there is a direct link to the webpage it is featured on and a way to embed it.
