There are two parts to this thread:

Firstly, in this forum, we're moving "Cleanup to the Month" to a quarterly Featured Project. In the move, will it be a simple process of moving all the pages and changing the links or something else?

Secondly, is it an idea to change all the monthly featured content (Article, Media, User) into quarterly things? None of them are very active so I don't think they have enough traction to keep going on a monthly basis. If they do become quarterly things, should they be clumped with the Featured Project and featured in the magazine?

Thoughts?

I would archive the pages that exist now, but keep them as "Cleanup of the Month", and start the new pages as "Featured Project". Since they're archives, there's no need to rename them and we don't have to change the links either.

I agree on changing Article and Media to quarterly, but not User. We don't have a Featured User because we're short on users who deserve it, not because we're not interested in it anymore. I don't think we should cover them in the magazine, because, unlike the Featured Project, the FA and FM are just showcasing some content, while the FP actually needs people to work on something.

If we do change the FA and FM to quarterly things, we should probably update them at the same time as the FP, which means we still need nominations for this quarter...

That all sounds okay, but since there's a shortage of users who deserve the prize, is that not a reason to increase the time length and improve the prospects of a helpful newbie joining the wiki (which happens rarely lately)?

I have a few reasons why we should keep the User monthly:

On one side, users might be encouraged by the longer featured time, but on the other side, they may be discouraged because they have to wait until the end of the quarter to get featured, and there can only be 4 featured users in a year.

Having new users featured for 3 months seems unfair to previous users, who were only featured for one month.

KSM already made the trophies up until May 2017 (I think), so if we're going to change it, we also need to change the trophies or create new ones.

It's unfair to have a featured user on the front page for an indefinite amount of time because there's not another FU until half a year later, but regardless, I'll agree.
