Stage 1: Becoming a new article

How does an article get started? How does it become a "Featured Article"? and what are the steps in between?

Well, at Lylat Wiki, we use a 5 Step Program

Stage 1:To Become A New Article

To become a new article, the article simply has to be created. From that point on, it is referred to as a start-level article.

Stage 2:To Become A Stub Article

Once an article has been created, it needs to be expanded upon. What Sections and Templates should be added? What content could be included? and Can it all be verified?

Once done, it is considered a stub-level article.

Stage 3:To Become A Decent Article

As the article continues to expand, the standards it needs to follow become higher and harder.

Before an article can be considered decent, all imported content needs to be reviewed in order to ensure it doesn't need to be reviewed for good- or even featured-level status.

In addition, it becomes tested in the following areas:

1. Language
   1. Sections
   2. Templates
2. Verification
   1. How do i know when i should use what type?
3. Satisfying Polcy & Guidelines
