This page has been mentioned by a media organization: "The 50 most-viewed Wikipedia articles in 2009 and 2008". The Daily Telegraph. August 17, 2009.

Wikipedia:Featured content is a reader-facing page intended for viewing by non-editors. Please prioritize their needs when adjusting its design, and move editor-facing elements to other pages.

Why was this page removed from the Navigation menu? Normally it is adjacent to the links to 'Main page', 'Current events', and 'Random article'. Does anyone know? I use the Modern skin in case that matters. Ruby2010 (talk) 17:47, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ruby2010, it was removed as a result of the WP:SIDEBAR20 RfC. There was also sentiment to overhaul WP:Contents and to place more emphasis on featured content there, so if you're active in this area I'd suggest that as a potential task to take on.

Ah, that's disappointing. I liked having an easy way to jump into it. I'll bookmark it in my browser. Thanks for the reply. Ruby2010 (talk) 17:18, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
