Smashpedia:Featured User

Featured Users are selected by the users on Smashpedia. These users are often picked for their outstanding help to the wiki. A new featured user is elected every two weeks and are featured on the front page for two weeks, after which a new Featured User will be selected.

To nominate and vote for Featured Users, go to Thread:51890

For users that have been featured, see Featured User/Full.

Guidelines

 * Possible featured user candidates will be nominated by other people to consider for voting.
 * While there is no rule against nominating yourself, you have a much higher chance of getting elected if another person suggests you.
 * After a determined amount of time, a poll will be set up in which the users vote for one of the featured user nominees. Whoever has the most votes will become the Featured User for two weeks.
 * There are many reasons a person can get elected as featured user. Generally, users who make regular helpful edits and/or boost community spirit.
 * Tenure does not matter. A good user who has been editing here for only a month has just as much chance to get elected as a user who has been here a year.
 * Participate in discussions and form good relationships with the other users, because they are the ones who are voting. You may have a good record of over 1,000 major edits, but if nobody knows who you are, your chances are not as great.
 * Also, most to all featured users are generally well-liked. Insulting people or going out of your way to start arguments will send your featured user chances down the drain!
 * Although admins and rollbackers can be and have been featured, it is preferred that the featured user be a regular member of the community, because it is the admins' and rollbackers' jobs to regularly contribute. Also, featuring a regular user will be more likely to get other users to contribute more, in hopes of being elected Featured User.
