Today's featured list

This star symbolizes the featured content on Wikipedia.

Today's featured list is a section included on the Main Page on Mondays and on Fridays, in which an introduction to one of Wikipedia's featured lists is displayed. The current month's queue can be found here. The lists appearing on the Main Page are scheduled by the featured list director, currently Giants2008.

To be eligible to appear on the Main Page, a list must already be featured. For more information on the featured list promotion process, please see the featured list candidates, as well as the featured list criteria. In addition, a blurb is drafted, introducing the subject of the list. Blurbs are roughly 1,000 characters in length, with no reference tags, alternate names or extraneous boldface type, although a link to the specified featured list should be emboldened; a relevant picture is also usually included with the blurb. The previous three lists that were featured on the Main Page appear along the bottom, in reverse chronological order. You can submit a list to be scheduled at the submissions page.

At the moment, lists are scheduled by the featured list director or by the featured list delegates, although we will eventually be devising a community-based system for selecting each day's list. We encourage editors to submit and to review as many blurbs as possible. If you notice a problem with an upcoming featured list to appear on the Main Page, please leave a message at the Main Page errors page or here.

Further suggestions on how you can participate can be found here.

More than 20 video games have been developed since 2008 by Supermassive Games, a British video game developer. Until 2018, they worked almost exclusively with PlayStation, first working on downloadable content for LittleBigPlanet. The studio published their first game, Big Match Striker, in September 2010. Supermassive worked on multiple games that utilised the PlayStation Move motion controller including Start the Party! and Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves, both of which were released in 2010. In 2015, the studio started to focus mostly on interactive-drama, survival-horror video games, starting with their breakout title, Until Dawn, which won the BAFTA Games Award for Original Property in 2016. With the success of Until Dawn, the studio continued to expand the universe, releasing two spin-off titles; Until Dawn: Rush of Blood (2016) and The Inpatient (2018), for the PlayStation VR. In August 2019, Supermassive released Man of Medan, the first game in The Dark Pictures Anthology, and in 2022, they released The Quarry, the spiritual successor to Until Dawn. Supermassive's next game, The Casting of Frank Stone, a game set in the Dead by Daylight universe, is scheduled for release on 3 September 2024. (Full list...)

There have been eighteen recipients of the BBC National Short Story Award, an annual short-story contest that is open to residents and nationals of the United Kingdom. It is the richest literary prize in the world for a single short story. Established in 2005 and announced at that year's Edinburgh International Book Festival, the first winner of the award was James Lasdun for An Anxious Man in 2006. At the age of 26, Canadian writer D. W. Wilson became the youngest-ever recipient of the award in 2011. Sarah Hall, who won the award in 2013 and 2020, is the only writer to have won the award twice. In honour of the 2012 Summer Olympics hosted in London, the competition was open to a global audience that year; ten stories were shortlisted instead of five, and Bulgarian writer Miroslav Penkov (pictured) won. The winner of the 2024 award is scheduled to be announced on 12 September. (Full list...)
