The rules for user nomination are as follows:
*<big>All voters must have '''200 total edits''' (check [[Special:Editcount|here]]).</big>
*After a primary category of article has an article chosen to be the Featured Article, any other articles within this category cannot be nominated again for two months.
*To accurately select an article that editors can review for detail to the very last word, phrasing, and format.
*Articles can never be renominated after being chosen.
*In the event of a tie, the former nominated article shall be featured first, and the latter nominated article shall be featured the following month. All voting restrictions for that month will roll over to the following month.
*On the final day of the month, a staff member will close the voting, and voting for the next month shall begin.
*Please provide reasoning as to why you think an article is fit to be featured--remember, by featuring an article, you are presenting an article that represents the best work of its category. Whatever is nominated should be a model article for others that are similar to it.
**Also try to provide variety in your nomination--our goal is to balance out the "demographic" of articles above, not add more character articles.

==December 2014==
{{Uxie|time=02:21, 2 November 2014 (UTC)|angela=Alright, last month of the year. As agreed for last time, musical articles have been postponed until next month. So now is the time to really see if [[Under the Sea]] becomes the Featured Article. Of course, as it's December we're talking about, I wouldn't mind anything related to Christmas Town or The Grid; just as long as the article is well written.}}
:Alright. I don't have any strong disagreements. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 19:17, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
::It's December 1, can we go with "[[Under the Sea]]", or was something else in mind related to The Grid or Christmas Town? {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 21:19, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
{{RikutheBloody|time=22:26, 1 December 2014 (UTC)|text=I'd prefer Christmas Town. Or something related.}}
{{Uxie|time=22:42, 1 December 2014 (UTC)|zoe=Christmas Town was already featured. It looks like either '''Under the Sea''' or '''[[The Grid]]''' should be the winner.}}
{{RikutheBloody|time= 14:53, 2 December 2014 (UTC)|text=How about ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX|2.5]]''? Since it just came out.}}
{{Uxie|time=17:25, 3 December 2014 (UTC)|luna=Okay, then. Go ahead.}}
{{RikutheBloody|time=19:28, 3 December 2014 (UTC)|text=Go ahead? Where do I add it?}}
{{Uxie|time=20:21, 3 December 2014 (UTC)|zoe=Just take the opening part of the article and paste them onto [[:KHWiki:Featured Articles/Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix|this]], add in an image, and done.}}
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=21:14, 3 December 2014 (UTC)|christmas=I've already updated "Under the Sea" at this point, so I wonder if we could have two Featured Articles...}}

==November 2014==
{{Uxie|time=20:08, 2 October 2014 (UTC)|text=At this point, I'm still thinking that we should put one Atlantica song in as a Featured Article, so I'm going to renominate [[Under the Sea]]. Of course, what else you guys would suggest, I'd be okay with... unless it's related to The Grid (as I'd rather hold that until December).}}
:Nothing else has my eye this month so I'm okay with that. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 20:18, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
::If not Under the Sea, then definitely a music article since we're active on the music article front. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 17:02, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
:::I'd hold off doing featuring a music track article for next month since we haven't finalised the format for those articles yet. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 18:08, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

===Last-Minute Nomination===
{{Uxie|time=12:59, 1 November 2014 (UTC)|zoe=It's already November 1, and since we've agreed to put Under the Sea on hold for now, what are we going to show!? I don't want to skip this month, like how we skipped March last year...}}
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=16:06, 1 November 2014 (UTC)|text=How about [[Jiminy's Journal]]? It's pretty fleshed out. There's a stub tag, but I don't think it belongs, the ''coded'' section is already well written and complete, in my opinion.}}
:Alright then, Jiminy's Journal now and a song for December. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 16:52, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
::Jiminy's Journal? Awesome! {{Uxie/Sig}} 02:21, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
==October 2014==
{{Chainoffire|time={{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 17:25, 1 September 2014 (UTC)|normal=[[Cavern of Remembrance]] Since pretty much everyone is looking forward to this the most for 2.5}}
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 13:45, 2 September 2014 (UTC)|default=Sure. Although, we need to fix the "Treasure" section needs first by moving it the "Game:Radiant Garden" page (see [[Game talk:Castle That Never Was|here]]).}}
:Issue fixed. Cavern of Remembrance is ready to be featured. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 09:36, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=01:08, 14 September 2014 (UTC)|TRONWhite=Yeah, sure. Why not?}}

'''Voting is now closed, Cavern of Remembrance is our Featured Article for October!'''

==September 2014==
{{Uxie|time=04:18, 12 August 2014 (UTC)|zoe=If it were not for the images of Wisdom and Master forms needing to be replaced, then I would've nominated [[Genie]]. The article's not just suitable to be featured, we should also pay respect to the late Robin Williams, who died yesterday, and Genie was one of his most famous roles.}}
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=05:11, 12 August 2014 (UTC)|sad=Forget it! I back the nomination for Genie all the way. We'll make it ready, for Robin Williams!}}
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 16:44, 12 August 2014 (UTC)|default=Sure, if you can fix it great, but commemorating someone's death still isn't grounds for having a choppy article as a FA. If we're not able to improve it, we should try thinking broader and picking an article along the same theme, such as [[Three Wishes]] (example only; Three Wishes isn't FA-worthy).}}
{{ANX219|time=21:24, 12 August 2014 (UTC)|dango=Agrabah?}}
{{Uxie|time=23:31, 12 August 2014 (UTC)|angela=We just had the Pride Lands as a featured article in July, so Agrabah is invalid until October, at least. The policy is to balance out the demographic of articles. But still, anything Agrabah-related would work for September.}}
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=02:34, 13 August 2014 (UTC)|text=Uxie noted that the Genie article is suitable, the only problem is the lack of renders for those two specific forms. Which, I don't think we could acquire unless anyone knows how. I've worked on it a bit, but really, the renders are the only problems with the article, so I think it's fine.}}
:Any other comments on Genie? While it might not be as expansive or "large" as our other articles, I think it will be okay. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 11:25, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
::Hmm, okay. The issue with the Genie page is really small anyway so it should work fine. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 17:44, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Alrighty. Voting is closed. This month's featured article is '''Genie'''! {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 16:43, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

==August 2014==
Comments on [[Sea-salt ice cream]]? Being one of the most iconic symbols/items in the series, this article features the best of both worlds, falling into both item and story elements. Normally item articles are not featured articles due to their small page length... However, I think from the well written *and long* story sections we're good to go. We should probably throw in some <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags just to back certain statements up, such as the interview mentioned in the opening paragraph, but other than that I think the rest of the article is fine. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 18:47, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
:Sure. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 11:59, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
::Just as a reminder, we have less than two days left on this. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 23:46, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
:Sure, why not. It's iconic, as you said, and it's well written. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}}
::Love this stuff. And it describes so much about the KH series, especially Days. {{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 05:03, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Alrighty, then it is decided. Voting closed, this month is '''Sea-salt ice cream'''. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 23:59, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

==July 2014==
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 12:23, 1 June 2014 (UTC)|default=I've noticed [[Challenge Sigil]] to be a nicely-formatted, well-structured and informative article. Plus, we haven't had an item/mechanic for a while.}}
:Again, the article is complete for what it has, but the article really don't have too much to offer other than the table. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 20:29, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
{{Uxie|time=05:56, 2 June 2014 (UTC)|text=How about the [[Pride Lands]]? I completely forgot that it's the 20th anniversary of ''The Lion King'' this year (June 15), and if I'd had known better, I would've nominated it for June. But it's not too late, as July is a good opportunity, too. And the article looks well-down, and worthy of a nomination. If not that, then (for the same reasons) [[Simba]]?}}
::20 Years? I feel old. Vote for Pride Lands! {{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 06:42, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
:::Pride Lands looks okay to me. Anyone else have some comments? We're getting close to the end of the month. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 22:09, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Alrighty, according to our universal Wiki time of UTC 0, voting is closed. By vote, this month's featured article is '''[[Pride Lands]]'''. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 03:36, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

==June 2014==
{{Uxie|time=18:36, 30 April 2014 (UTC) (It's already May 1 here in Australia, if you are asking)|angela=I'm not gonna suggest any SP/TG related articles this time, even though my 20th birthday is just around the corner (I'd rather leave SP for July, and TG for December). I'm gonna nominate [[Under the Sea]], since we should feature at least one of the Atlantica songs (it's got good quality writing, anyway), but we need to replace the image, first.}}
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 19:09, 8 May 2014 (UTC)|default=In my opinion, Under the Sea is somewhat messy because of the transcript of the lyrics. I'm aware that there's nothing we can do to fix that but I'm still reluctant to have it as a FA. I nominate [[Bladecharge]] as an alternative, since it's one of the few KH3D articles that actually has decent information (the BBS stuff are there as a bonus).}}
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=00:33, 20 May 2014 (UTC)|text=Yay! Third Nomination! I nominate Uxie's choice for last month, [[Pumpkinhead]]. I think it's a well written Keyblade article, and I'm not very well satisfied with either "Under the Sea" or Bladecharge (Decent information)? There's barely anything there, and it's mostly KHBBS info than KH3D), though if I had to choose, "Under the Sea" would be my choice over Bladecharge (Sorry, FM).}}
{{Uxie|time=13:51, 20 May 2014 (UTC)|zoe=Okay, so that's three articles nominated for June (the most ever for as long as I can remember). Currently, Under the Sea has the highest chance of "winning", but it can go either way. I wouldn't mind Pumpkinhead to be featured (though it was ''I'' who originally suggest it, anyway, as KSM pointed out), but the community should decided, and June is only 11 days away, anyway. Plenty of time. <small>(Yeah, as of this edit, Keira has officially replaced Zoe for this talkbox)</small>}}
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 15:08, 22 May 2014 (UTC)|sad=Alright, I don't mind Pumpkinhead.}}
:Glad to see some activity here. ^_^ Anyways, I'm up for a Keyblade article, but, using what FifteenthMember said earlier, Pumpkinhead isn't much better on information. While the article is indeed complete, the only actual writing occurs in the design section. However, I do like the idea of a Keyblade being a featured article...What do you guys think of [[Kingdom Key]] or [[χ-blade]]?--[[User:Xion4ever|<span style="color:black">''Xion''</span>]][[User talk:Xion4ever|<span style="color:darkred">''4''</span>]][[User:Xion4ever/Atelier|<span style="color:maroon">''ever''</span>]] 03:36, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=03:57, 23 May 2014 (UTC)|text=Wow, five nominations. That's got to be a record. Let me get over that excitement, and the shock of the fact that Kingdom Key and the χ-blade are still not featured articles (what is this?!). I'm throwing my vote for Kingdom Key, it's definitely the best Keyblade article we've got. Though the χ-blade isn't that far behind.}}

I vote for the Kingdom Key, it's the start of the whole adventure! Plus it has a nice complimentary card article. 

EDIT: The only thing that I would have a problem with is that a citation is needed in the coded section of the article and in the opening section. {{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 05:15, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

{{Uxie|time=05:45, 23 May 2014 (UTC)|zoe=Seriously!? One of the most ''iconic'' weapons in RPG history has '''yet to be a featured article'''!? Gosh, we've been quite slow. Kingdom Key has my vote, too, so that we can actually catch up with history.}}
It seems everyone is on board for Kingdom Key, yes? Alright. Now our focus is to double check and fix any errors/tasks that remain. I have already taken care of the two citations Chain mentioned. Anyone else see any other problems? {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 03:18, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

==May 2014==
Since we're low in ideas, and I'm aware that whenever I suggest something, someone else has a better idea (sorry to sound rude), I'm going to re-nominate [[Pumpkinhead]]. {{Uxie/Sig}} 15:42, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
:Seeing as the manga project is what needs most work at the moment, I nominate [[Calling]] as mentioned in the roundtable yesterday. It sets the bar for the rest of the chapter articles and has good writing, though it would be better if we had the front/back covers. Alternatively, we could save Calling for later, for when KSM updates the manga infobox. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 19:48, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
:: I second that. {{User:Pea14733/Sig}} 09:53, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
:::Manga and Infobox updated, so "Calling" is a go if we choose to use it! {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}}02:20, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
::Calling has my vote, since we should have some focus on the manga. {{Uxie/Sig}} 03:11, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

==April 2014==
Do you think Xion could be April? I'm quite surprise that she, along with a few other KH characters, have not been featured yet. There is a lot of info on her, her role in the game is a huge impact on the story, and she was voted "Best New Character" in the 2009 Nintendo Power Awards. Not to mention her debut game, 358/2 Days, won every category it was nominated in the Nintendo Power Awards 2009. Plus Kairi and Naminé are featured too (to those who know Xion's role). So do you think Xion's a good candidate for the featured page? - An anonymous Nobody
:As much as I'd like to support your vote, I'm afraid it has to be ignored, since you are not a registered user with 200+ edits. But since the wiki does not have much suggestions, it could be selected, though it's up to Xion4ever to decide. {{Uxie/Sig}} 06:34, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
::We've become a bit lax on rules for featured articles. I still believe we should stick as closely to the rules as possible. However, Uxie makes a valid point in that nominations/voting on this has pretty much vanished. With that in mind, I'm up for casting my vote for [[Xion]]. Should someone say we aren't following the rules, I nominate Xion for the previously listed reasons. Also, at the IP: Why not create an account?--[[User:Xion4ever|<span style="color:black">''Xion''</span>]][[User talk:Xion4ever|<span style="color:darkred">''4''</span>]][[User:Xion4ever/Atelier|<span style="color:maroon">''ever''</span>]] 11:21, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

==March 2014==
{{Uxie|time=05:54, 17 February 2014 (UTC)|text=Well, since I'm the only one paying attention to the FA now, I guess it's up to me to nominate AGAIN. How does the [[Pumpkinhead]] sound?}}
Actually, what do you think about [[Wayfinder]]? Yay item/story plot.--[[User:Xion4ever|<span style="color:black">''Xion''</span>]][[User talk:Xion4ever|<span style="color:darkred">''4''</span>]][[User:Xion4ever/Atelier|<span style="color:maroon">''ever''</span>]] 01:53, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
:Better than my suggestion. And since it's already March, it's on the main page right now. {{Uxie/Sig}} 04:45, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

==February 2014==
{{Uxie|time=08:38, 1 January 2014 (UTC)|angela=I've spent the past half-an-hour looking for a decent article that isn't a world, character, item or Drive Form. I wanted to nominate either Under the Sea or Light Cycle, but they still have needed work on them. But right now, I've got two under nomination, both bosses: [[Groundshaker]] and [[Mad Treant]].}}
:Oh f**k: February 6! I'll just put up Mad Treant as a default win. {{Uxie/Sig}} 05:28, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

{{Uxie|time=08:17, 9 December 2013 (UTC)|text=Well, 2013 was a disappointment for Featured Articles. We had to skip March because Atlantica was not ready, but we still had a few good articles until around October. Anyway, how should we open the new year?}}
{{ErryTalk|time=14:11, 9 December 2013 (UTC)|orphan=I'd like to nominate [[AntiForm]]. Mainly because we haven't featured a game mechanic in a while and its got a wealth of information.}}
{{Uxie|time=16:39, 9 December 2013 (UTC)|zoe=Haha! Perfect! A great way to bring in the new year by giving out AntiForm! :)}}
