The part about the Featured Topic that was promoted is lackluster and doesn't even accurately mention who nominated the topic. GamerPro64 23:12, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • GamerPro64 The error in nominator listing is due to the script misidentifying it (exactly why I don't know). The lack of description was due to the fact that it was added literally as publication was occurring (or just about). Not an excuse, just a reason. I have amended accordingly. My sincerest apologies to all involved. Eddie891 Talk Work 23:46, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is better. But I have always think that Featured Topics gets the short end of the stick when it comes to coverage at the Signpsot. Yes its not as popular as the other three Featured Content and less Featured Topics are promoted monthly but I do find it disappointing at times.
