User blog:Natalie Renderra/Featured Nominations, Revamped

Right. I've come to notice something with our Featured Articles these past few months.

Its all the same stuff being nominated, and the same stuff winning.

For example, Aranitus Aren. A very good page. I even nominated it for that month.

Currently, we have Arachnea (Also an Aren) running for nomination. Another amazing page.

Dion Magnan is a Featured as well, with an interesting histroy, while being head of St. Rimmington's Sarothic Church.

Sander Stoneman is also featured, and Dion's right hand man for this same organisation.

In addition, Ptolemy Dean has been nominated quite a few times, month to month. A great character, and fitting for featured. Nathan Renderra, my own character, has been nominated, and runner-up for every featured so far.

Rarely are other great pages like Hayley K. Spears, the Le'Gaunt Family, and Greyson Val even nominated once. Especially Families, Guides, and the like.

So, I propose a system change, to keep this same old same old nomination far away. We're a diverse community, why not act it?

This system proposal essentially rotates what can be nominated each month based on broad categories. Things like "Good," "Evil," "Human/Elf," "Non-Human," "Lawful," "Chaotic," "Neutral/Balanced." This only applies to characters, and will rotate monthly between categories.

The traditional system will also have the standard nomination count, with the second slider slot. This is for all characters not under the month's category.

Finally, the third slot will only be allowed to hold Families, Races, Guides, essentially, anything that is not a character, and usually player made content.

How do we allow for this many slots?

At current date, we have four featured articles. Dion Magnan's Article, Roleplaying Basics, Races, and Guides. I'm proposing we combine Basics, Races, and Guides into one larger category to allow for this space. Basics can have a link above the feautured, to direct new roleplayers.

Depending on what wins this month's featured, would determine the "Primary" or first slotted featured's category.
