From GT to FT?
[edit]Fearless (Taylor Swift album) was promoted as a Good Topic, but with its current number of Featured Articles, it is now qualified as a Featured Topic. Is there any procedure to officialize this? Ippantekina (talk) 04:03, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
- @FGTC coordinators: please advise tysm! Ippantekina (talk) 07:52, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
- For the correct process, I would say you need to put this through the featured topic candidates since the previous nomination only had consensus to become a GT, making a new one needed for FT. --K. Peake 08:55, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
- Ok let me create a new nomination, thanks! Ippantekina (talk) 09:55, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
- This was previously discussed here in January where it was said that "
GTs eligible for FT status do not require a nomination.
" Not sure which is actually correct, just noting the discrepancy in answers. Pinging @MaranoFan: as a courtesy since they responded there. TheDoctorWho (talk) 16:46, 19 March 2025 (UTC)- Yes, I do not think a new nomination is required in this case. I moved my own Thank You GT to FT two years back and we haven't discussed changing the procedure since. Maybe Aza24 can confirm.--NØ 16:57, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
- I don't think there is a strict/decided rule for this. I would say it is not particularly worthwhile to necessitate an entirely new nomination. Aza24 (talk) 23:26, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
- I have had three GTs promoted to FTs. None of them were renominated. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:40, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
- Neat, I noticed a few topics that would be eligible during one of my regular rounds of updating redirects in the topics. I'll go ahead n get those done then. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:22, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- Whoops, I totally missed this discussion. Alright, roger that! Ippantekina (talk) 14:10, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

- @FGTC coordinators: Now that Scott Carpenter has been promoted as a featured article, Wikipedia:Featured topics/Mercury Seven can now become a Featured Topic. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:48, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
30 Rock seasons 2 and 3 at FLRC
[edit]Hi all, I'm here to note that FLRCs for 30 Rock season 2 and 30 Rock season 3 have been opened; both are the main articles for good topics. Just wanted to leave a note here in case anyone in the GT/FT community is interesting in working to keep these at GT level before going to GTRC. RunningTiger123 (talk) 00:58, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
Stale nominations with multiple supports
[edit]@FGTC coordinators: I'm noticing that there are multiple nominated featured and good topics right now that have multiple supports and have been inactive for some time but have yet to be promoted. Any movement on this? Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 06:10, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
- @FGTC coordinators: Several topics were promoted in the last few days; please note that the bot is not actually posting the promoted topics to WP:FT/GT. It updates the overall count and the articles themselves but never appends the new box to the page. I just added the 2 video game ones as I noticed them, but Special:Contributions/NovemBot shows that its true for all. Also, for some reason it makes GTs at Wikipedia:Featured topics/whatever, not Wikipedia:Good topics/whatever, so watch out for that. --PresN 17:56, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
- Also noting that for whatever reason, the bot did not remove the recently-promoted Doctor Who episodes topic from this page. TheDoctorWho (talk) 18:12, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
- It probably wasn't removed because the nomination subpage was moved, but the transclusion on the page wasn't updated. Regards, Armbrust The Homunculus 09:20, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Scottish invasion of England (1648)
[edit]Hi @FGTC coordinators: I hope that things are ticking along here. I have just nominated a Featured Topic. Either there is something wrong with "Create a new nomination" or, more likely, I am too stupid to work out how to use it. So I created the nom "by hand". If I have messed up or broken anything let me know and I'll do my best to fix it. Gog the Mild (talk) 14:13, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
