Good to featured
On the nomination procedure page it says Topics will move automatically from good to featured...
, yet it's been 12 days since 2012 Tour de France gained FA status and the topic has not been moved? BaldBoris 14:07, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
- I believe you still have to nominate it and gain support. If approved then it will move to FT. MPJ-DK 15:48, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
- I took care of it. It's now a Featured Topic. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. GamerPro64 15:58, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
Interstate 675 (Michigan) was promoted to FA today, bumping Wikipedia:Featured topics/Interstate Highways in Michigan from GT to FT status. Imzadi 1979 → 01:32, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the update. Everything's good here. GamerPro64 01:43, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- @BaldBoris: mind making Book:Michigan_State_Trunkline_Highway_System a bit more readable? I think it is used by multiple topics too, so it would be nice to have a book that is more structured. Nergaal (talk) 09:42, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

- @Nergaal: you pinged the wrong person about that. What's wrong with it? The book lists every state highway in numerical order, which matches the previous/next browsing order at the bottom of the infoboxes in the individual state highway articles. Ahead of those individual highways, the book lists the article on the overall system and the 4 lists. I see nothing wrong with that, so you'll need to explain your concerns instead of asking uninvolved editors to fix things. Imzadi 1979 → 23:45, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- Essentially try to split it into some kind of subsections. Nergaal (talk) 02:10, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
- To what end? Once List of state trunkline highways in Michigan is finished off and sent through FLC, then we'll have a Good Topic on that subsection of the state highway system, and finally a Featured Topic on the State Trunkline Highway System itself. The book really serves as the adjunct to that topic, a topic of subtopics 12 years in the making. While state trunkline highways in Michigan have one of three different designation types, they are equivalent. The split into subtopics is a matter of convenience, lest we have a 213-article Good Topic. Again, the articles are set to browse M-1 → US 2 → M-3 → ... M-68 → I-69 → M-69 → .... That is the order the articles appear in the book. Imzadi 1979 → 03:28, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured topics/Russell family (Passions) became a featured topic after Eve Russell was promoted to FA. I added it to the appropriate subpage of WP:GO and Template:Announcements/New featured content. Could somebody do the other steps? @GamerPro64: Armbrust The Homunculus 00:31, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- Done. GamerPro64 15:56, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you! Aoba47 (talk) 03:36, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
Discussing article quality during nomination
Just curious what the consensus for this is. I think that the GT/FT nomination process should only talk about if all the relevant articles are included in the topic, and there are no extraneous articles. I think if there are any issues with the article itself, it should be brought up at the article's talk page, GAR, etc. Thoughts? Kees08 (Talk) 07:52, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
