What happens to FL status when an article is split?

Looks like someone did a WP:SPINOUT of a featured list. Original article is List of roles and awards of Arshad Warsi. New article is Arshad Warsi filmography. Thoughts on how to handle? Do they both need to lose FL status? Does one keep FL status? Should the spinout be reverted? Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:16, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

It always depends on the list in question; in this case I'd say that, as it's an even split with little change from both pre-split and from when it was promoted, then both keep the star. That said, I'd personally be against the split, as neither half is that long, so I'm curious why it was done. --PresN 13:39, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. Pinging the splitter @Rishav2014. Will keep this open for more opinions, but we may end up reverting this split. In general featured content doesn't usually need this kind of heavy modification since it's already been heavily vetted. –Novem Linguae (talk) 14:01, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

@Novem Linguae and @PresN, I am boldly removing the FL topicon from the lists 'List of awards and nominations received by Arshad Warsi' and 'Arshad Warsi filmography' since they need FL reassessment, if such an assessment exists. 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 ^{𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜} 09:43, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Reverted. If you believe a list no longer meets the criteria for featured status, please nominate it at WP:FLRC. --PresN 11:35, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Actually, you know what? I'm just undoing the split altogether. The list is not so long that it needs to be split, and it's not clear why that was done in the first place. --PresN 11:40, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for making the wise decision. 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 ^{𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜} 11:52, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

American Revolution Statuary

Does a FL need to have the name "list" in the title? (you can laugh if that's a dumb question) I've already written the 14 articles found in the table. APK hi :-) (talk) 08:16, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

@APK: It does not, each content area has their own naming standards but there's plenty of FLs that don't have "list" in the title. Usually it's when there isn't both an article named "X" and one named "List of X", so in this case you'd be fine to leave the title as-is. --PresN 12:54, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Proposal to Add to the Featured List Criteria

I propose the following addition to WP:FLCR #5 (open to wordsmithing and linking to improve it):

• (c) Accessibility. It is accessible to all readers. Bulleted and unbulleted lists should utilize proper formatting so that they can be accurately read by screen readers. Tables should utilize appropriate table tags to allow web browsing tools to properly navigate the data presented in tabular form.

I'm in favor; it makes explicit what we've been holding "Style. It complies with the Manual of Style and its supplementary pages." to mean for a long time now. --PresN 16:10, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Support: It's essentially been a de facto requirement anyways, better to spell it out in the requirements. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:42, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Support - I didn't realize that this wasn't already in the criteria. -- ZooBlazer 17:52, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Support the principle, but not this wording. There are other accessibility issues that come to mind (image alt text and color usage come to mind), and while lists and tables are obviously key, we shouldn't imply these are the only items that matter. It would help to link directly to the relevant MOS page, not a subsection (since the entire MOS page is fair game). I suggest: (c) Accessibility. It uses proper formating to be accessible to all readers. Bulleted and unbulleted lists and tables are structured correctly as applicable. RunningTiger123 (talk) 02:09, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

RunningTiger123, I am fine with your wording and linking, other than as applicable. I would strike this as it is self-evident that the MOS and the FLCR are applicable. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:22, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

I added that since most FLs only have one or the other, not both, but I don't find it particularly necessary, either. RunningTiger123 (talk) 01:20, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Support It would save us from having to link to PresN's comments everywhere. RunningTiger's wording seems better to me. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 02:45, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

All, I added the criterion. I boldly appended the hidden text that was currently hidden in the criteria regarding alt text to this criterion. Please feel free to wordsmith as needed. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:56, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Awesome, I'm happy with the wording used. --PresN 16:28, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Total awards/nominations in infobox/lede/TFL-summary should be avoided

Motivated by the IMO spurious assertion on the Mainpage today that "The Philippine television newscast 24 Oras has won thirty-two awards from ninety-three nominations", I've started a discussion at Template talk:Infobox awards list#Totals should be avoided. Comments there are welcome. jnestorius^(talk) 14:50, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
