==Voting Rules and Guidelines== |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
Anyone may nominate as many articles as they wish, as long as the nominated articles have not [[Project:Featured Article/Past Articles|already been featured]] or are not already nominated. Please follow this process: |
|||
# Start a separate new section for each nominated article. |
|||
# Include a link in each section to the nominated article, as well as a brief explanation of why the article is being nominated. |
|||
# Sign each nomination using four tildes ({{Sign}}). |
|||
===Rules for voting=== |
|||
Anyone may vote for as many articles as they choose. Please observe these rules: |
|||
# Sign all votes, and do not vote for the same article more than once. |
|||
# When nominating an article, the nominee cannot vote for it. |
|||
===Selection=== |
|||
*At the beginning of each new month, an administrator will determine the nominated article with the most votes. The article with the highest vote total ''may be'' selected as the Featured Article. |
|||
*Administrators can override the winning article under these circumstances: |
|||
# One administrator may override in order to feature an article on the wiki which is relevant to a current or recent event or game release |
|||
# Two administrators in agreement may override a winning article if they determine it to be of poor quality. If overriden, the article will wait for a month to be featured - if it is not improved by the end of the month, the nomination will be deleted and it will have to be re-nominated. If the article is improved by that time, it becomes the next Featured Article. |
|||
==Votes and Nominations== |
|||
''Place your nominations or votes below the article(s) you would like to see featured. Nominations and votes should be based on the article quality, not just the content of the article. Please sign all votes using four tildes ({{Sign}}).'' |

#Weighing in, I'd say the article isn't exactly very well-written. Perhaps it's better than the rest of ''The Sims 2'' stuff packs, but it doesn't mean it evaluates as a good article.

I think the layout is pretty well and the content is well-written, but... that's because the article was mostly revamped by me. :/ I guess other people should comment and weigh in about this nomination.

Every month, The Sims Wiki selects a Featured Article to display on the main page of the wiki. These featured articles represent some of the most informative, well-written and interesting articles that The Sims Wiki has to offer. Community voting and nominations are used to determine which articles are featured.
Current Featured Article[edit source]

Bonehilda is an NPC that was introduced in The Sims: Makin' Magic, and later returned in The Sims 3: Supernatural and The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff. She can be summoned from either a special upright coffin[TS:MM][TS3:SN] or by performing a seance[TS4:PS].
She mainly functions as a maid, with the ability to clean a Sim's house free of charge. However, depending on the game, she can also repair broken appliances, do laundry, tend to a garden, socialize, prepare meals, and care for children. As a walking skeleton, any human maids who see her while they are working may freak out and quit their job, and house guests will generally be tense in her presence. In haunted houses[TS4:PS], she is able to protect the residents by fighting off a vengeful spirit known as Temperance.
Bonehilda will occasionally grab a drink from a nearby bar, sink or refrigerator when she has nothing else to do, which will humorously flow right through her and leave a puddle on the floor. She also seems to be a fan of the Grim Reaper, and might stop to ask him for an autograph if he shows up[TS:MM].
Removing her skeletal appearance using cheats or mods results in a Sim that resembles the Grim Reaper[TS3:SN], or a light-skinned woman with long red hair and green eyes[TS4:PS].

Past Featured Articles[edit source]
Featured article queue[edit source]
The articles listed here are set to be featured in upcoming months. They are added to this list in the order that they were voted upon by the community.
Selecting new Featured Articles[edit source]
Nominating[edit source]
Any user can nominate an article for Featured Article, as long as the article wasn't already featured. Users should copy and paste the following under "Current nominations" below in order to nominate an article:
{{subst:FA Nomination
|name =
|reason =
|sig = ~~~~
|time = {{subst:#time: U |now}}
}}
Name is the name of the article being nominated, and reason is a brief explanation of why the article should be featured. Do not change the text for sig or time.
Voting[edit source]
Any user can vote for as many nominated Featured Articles as they wish. All votes need to be signed (using four tildes: ~~~~) in order to be counted, and each user may only vote for each article one time. All votes will last for two weeks. If a nomination has more support votes than oppose votes after voting, it will be placed in the Featured Article queue. Articles will be featured in the order they appear in the queue, and order in the queue will be the order of passage, unless the queue is re-arranged due to a game release or other special event.
