Before nominating a portal for featured portal status on this page, compare it against the featured portal criteria and ensure that it meets all criteria before nominating.
It is strongly recommended that you use the portal peer review process before nominating the portal. Peer reviews help to identify and fix basic improvement needs before they might be used as the basis for opposing a nomination.
You may also wish to observe other featured portals in the same topic to get ideas on how to further improve your portal before nomination.
Place {{FPOC}} on the talk page of the nominated portal, and click the "initiate nomination" link – This will allow you to initiate the nomination in the correct format.
Note: If you are resubmitting the portal after a previously failed nomination, it is important that you follow the following instructions correctly:
Use the move tab to rename the previous nomination to a new title:
example: move Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Example to Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Example/Archive 1
Go back to the template you left on the talk page of the nominated portal, and replace the code {{FPOC}} with {{FPOC|Archive 1}}. Save the page and re-click the "initiate nomination" link to start the nomination again.
Fill in the blanks of the page, including why you are nominating the portal and other necessary details about the portal that need to be covered.
Click this link and lace the following code (replacing Example with the name of your portal) directly under the header. This will transclude the nomination subpage you created for your nominated portal to be seen on the main candidacy page. Be sure to include an edit summary that clearly states which portal you are nominating: e.g., nominating Portal:Example.
