How do questions become 'Community featured' on WikiAnswers?

If you have a suggestion, feel free to message a supervisor. See the related link below for a listing.

How can you browse previous Featured Questions?

Does the list of Featured questions include answered questions?
No, the Featured questions list does not list answered questions. The point of the Featured questions is to basically "put out there" any unique, unanswered questions.Here and there, an unanswered may creep in, usually by a new supervisor. In a case such as this, the supervisor is soon alerted to this oversight.
How do flagged questions and featured questions differ?
Flagged Questions vs Featured QuestionsThe basic difference is that a flagged question has already been answered, although the answer needs improvement of sorts, and therefore gets "flagged." A featured question, on the other hand, is a question of interest that has not yet been answered (the minute a featured question does get answered, it automatically gets removed from the list of Featured questions).(For more information, see the Related questions.)
What does featuring a question mean?
Supervisors and Community Assistants have the ability to feature unanswered questions on the Answers.com home page and the WikiAnswers landing page. Besides giving new questions extra attention, featuring is also a great way to get some of those important, urgent, or buried questions exposed and answered more quickly.
