==Special features==
The following are featured on a semi-regular or rotational basis, or whenever it is practical or preferred to feature it.
 
THERE IS NO LONGER "SPECIAL FEATURES", SO THIS SECTION IS HIDDEN WITH COMMENTS.
=== Polls ===
MONTHLY QUESTIONS SHOULDN'T BE CONSIDERED A SPECIAL FEATURE BECAUSE IT IS UPDATED REGULARLY.
The Sims Wiki periodically creates and/or updates a poll on the main page. Older polls are archived for later viewing [[The Sims Wiki:Polls|here]].
 
------------------>
==Discontinued features==
The following are no longer used as featured content.
Line 34:
Since July 2010, The Sims Wiki is also running a '''bi-monthly featured contest'''. A poll runs for a month to decide which contest should be featured and the next month we feature the winner. You can add your ideas for featured contests [[User blog:Bleeh/Next Sims Wiki contest thing?|here]]. You can nominate your own [[The Sims Wiki:User Created Contests|User Created Contests]].
 
At times the poll might be skipped if there's a featured contest we'd like to do before it's too late. Such as an example was the [[The Sims Wiki:Featured Contest/Past Contests#August 2010: Name for Downtown in Late Night|contest]] to find a name of the, at the time, unnamed new [[Neighborhood]] coming in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]''. Sadly, [[EA]] chose the name [[Bridgeport]] halfway through the contest.
