Forum:Featured Wikia -- proposed changes

I'm proposing two changes to the Featured Wikia. Please provide your feedback below.

Documentation
I've documented the process for the monthly change of the Feature Wikia on a sub-page to my user page: User:CocoaZen/fw. It should probably be moved to a page in the main namespace. Should it be a sub-page to the Featured Wikia page? or somewhere else? What's most appropriate? What can be found most easily? --CocoaZen 05:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Blurbs
I'd like to add a requirement that to be eligible, a Wikia must create a blurb. This is the blurb that will be posted when it is featured. (It can be modified.) Having it in advance of the vote has at least two advantages: Is this change to the process and requirements fair? Even if it's not a requirement, I'd like to have it be an option. I'll be writing at least one leader from each of the currently nominated Wikia to ask for a blurb, unless I hear reasons not to do this here, promptly. --CocoaZen 05:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) it gives voters more information about the nominated Wikia
 * 2) it makes it easier to switch over the feature Wikia promptly when it wins and the month begins

Example Blurbs
The blurbs get included multiple places: More blurb examples: --CocoaZen 05:17, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) on the main page when featured,
 * 2) on the Recently featured Wikia page and
 * 3) on the page that gets created to give information about each Featured Wikia (the blurb, nominating comments, pro and con and a copy of the votes; example Featured Wikia/Redwall).
 * Featured_Wikia/Star_Wars/Blurb
 * Featured_Wikia/Muppet/Blurb
 * Featured Wikia/LOST/Blurb


 * If I don't hear any feedback on this by November 26th, I'll assume it's ok with everyone, and from now on new nominees will need to create a blurb to be eligible to be featured. --CocoaZen 16:35, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree with everything you said (silent consent -> unsilent consent). ^_^ --Splarka (talk) 23:06, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


 * This sounds great to me. Thanks for all your work organising this. I just realised we reached 20 featured wikis! Angela talk 14:50, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I was thinking this should happen for the collaboration of the month too, but that really needs an active coordinator so maybe it won't work. Would stopping the vote a week before the end of the month be better? -- sannse (talk) 06:58, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
