Forum:Active featuring

Sifting through the Senate forum, I've noticed there has, in the past, been several proposals to "feature" or "rate" articles. Currently, I see no evidence of it and I can assume that all of these proposals died because of the lack of continuous support. There are a handful active contributors and countless of good articles that have been created since the last proposal.

In addition, somewhat tying to this revived interest of featuring articles, I feel that the Main Page is not only dead but horribly outdated. Looking at the code of the feature page, there are several articles that are listed but has remained untouched for over a year already. That and it seems to not work with me so the page that is always featured is Woogers' Ivalice nation page. I think that fresher and newer projects deserve a chance to be featured along these classic pages.

On Wikipedia, there is a system that rates article. Just like Wikipedia, I am entirely aware of this wiki's frightening history and problem with stubs and poorly written articles. I think the rating system really should only award articles/projects of outstanding quality (and those that are their way towards it) instead of attempting to systematically rate every single article on this wiki. Some form of rating would be nice and there could be a list that compiles all of the wiki's finest content to allow visitors to sift through the good stuff, not the 200 byte pages :p

Any thoughts on this? How we would choose and rate featured articles? I would love to see this wiki coming together as community and more expressively voicing their opinions on each others' works. What is the point of writing articles if you do not have feedback from your fellow contributors?
