Wikipedia:Today's Featured List
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. See this month's queue. 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 on the TFL talk page.

General elections in Liechtenstein have been held since the ratification of the 1862 constitution, in which the Landtag of Liechtenstein was established. Political parties did not exist in Liechtenstein until they were formed in 1918. Before the ratification of the 1921 constitution, the head of government was appointed by the prince of Liechtenstein; elections were thus held only to elect members of the Landtag. Under the current constitution, general elections are held to elect members of the Landtag, who then elect the prime minister of Liechtenstein. Forty-eight general elections have been held in Liechtenstein, most recently in 2021, which resulted in Daniel Risch (pictured) becoming prime minister. The 2025 general election is scheduled to take place on 9 February. (Full list...)

The 2012 NFL draft was the 77th annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible American football players for their rosters. The draft was held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City from April 26 to April 28, 2012. There were 253 draft selections: 221 regular selections and 32 compensatory selections. The Indianapolis Colts, who compiled the league's worst season in 2011 with a 2–14 record, had the right to the first selection. They chose quarterback prospect Andrew Luck (pictured), who was highly touted as one of the best quarterback prospects in years and widely regarded as the top overall prospect in the draft. The draft was highly regarded for its quarterback talent, with six of the eleven quarterbacks selected named to at least one Pro Bowl. Besides its quarterbacks, the draft overall is considered one of the best of all-time with numerous prospects showing Hall of Fame talent throughout their careers. (Full list...)
