4 featured lists that together cover all the nominations for this award in each category. The main article describes the award and lists the winners, and 3 sub-lists give the nominations of the 3 currently active categories. The lists all have the same formatting, and are interlinked by the navboxes. So i think this covers the topic comprehensively, and meets "what is a featured topic".YobMod 07:29, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments by rst20xx:
  • Could you list the winners/nominees for the now defunct awards somewhere? That's comics and People's Choice, right?
  • At the moment you have winners in light grey and finalists in white. On my monitor, these two don't look very different at all.
  • Seems a bit redundant to have the winners listed a second time in the lead. I think the lead should probably be an article and not a list, but having said that, I think that if you take the tables out of the main then what would be left would have no problems becoming a GA so I guess this is a bit of a non-actionable comment.
The defunct awards & nominees are listed: People's choice winners are noted by superscript letters (as they only went to winners of other categories for 3 years and had no nominees, so no separate table needed), and comics was only split out for one year from other works, so the nominees are in the other works article with a note (see 2003) (i made redirects to both as appropriate).
I'll make the gray darker (although it is purely cosmetic - FL insist on colours always being redundant to other indications, in this case the result column). But you are right, that if there it should be visible :-).
I asked multiple places (GAN, FLC and WP:Awards) about whether the main article was more an article or a list, and there was no strong feeling either way and precedent for both - i went with list as i think most readers will be interested in the winners, and not so much in the award process or nominees. It's only redundant if readers clicked on the subarticles and sorted the tables, which is 8 clicks i think will rarely happen! The main article lists are also the only place that Hall of Fame inductees are all on the same page.YobMod 15:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
