[[Image:Cscr-featuredtopic.svg|left|90px|This star symbolizes the featured topics on Wikipedia.]]
A '''featured topic''' is a collection of inter-related articles that are of a good quality (though not necessarily [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured articles]]).  A featured topic represents Wikipedia's best work by thoroughly covering all parts of that topic through several high-quality articles that share a similar structure and are well-linked with each other.  To become featured, a topic must meet a [[Wikipedia:Featured and good topic criteria|set of criteria]].

Featured topics are nominated and discussed at the [[Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates]] page, where they are either accepted or rejected.  Additions to existing featured topics are also discussed there. Do ''not'' add an article directly to a featured topic without nominating it first.
