The Featured sounds process, which denoted what were considered to be the best sounds in Wikipedia, ceased operation in about November 2011. See Wikipedia:Media for some information on dealing with audio on Wikipedia. For a general list of sounds on Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Sound/list.

Manual

Manual closing instructions

Place "'''Promoted Promoted file name.ogg''' --~~~~" at the bottom of the WP:FSC/subpage Replace the {{FSC}} tag on the file description page with {{FeaturedSound|"Sound name"}} (the "Sound name" parameter will link back to the FSC discussion) and remove the {{FSC}} tag from any other suggested versions. If an alternate version of the originally nominated file is promoted, make sure that all articles contain the Featured Sound version, as opposed to the original. Add the file to the appropriate section of Portal:Featured sounds and update the count. For symphonies and other multi-part works, create a new section for them. Use the multi-listen template as provided in the nomination. If necessary, tidy up the description to make it more accurate, informative, and interesting. If in a section that organised by year, add '''YEAR''' – before the title. Add the file to Template:Announcements/New featured pages (newest on top). For multi-part works, just use *[[Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Nomination|Title (in X parts)]]. Otherwise, just paste in the information from the Featured Sound page again. Add a notice to Wikipedia:Goings-on, using this format: {{*sound|File.ogg|Title}} by pasting in the template from the featured sounds page. Notify the nominator with {{subst:PromotedFSC|Examplefilename.ogg|ExampleTitle}} ~~~~ Be sure to notify all co-nominators. Example: {{subst:PromotedFSC|Turdus-migratorius-003.ogg|Song of the American robin}} ~~~~ If the creator of the sound file is a Wikipedian, notify them with {{subst:CreatedFS|Examplefilename.ogg|ExampleTitle}} ~~~~ Example: {{subst:CreatedFS|Turdus-migratorius-003.ogg|Song of the American robin}} ~~~~ If appropriate, notify the uploader of the file as well, using {{subst:UploadedFS|Examplefilename.ogg|ExampleTitle}} ~~~~ Example: {{subst:UploadedFS|Turdus-migratorius-003.ogg|Song of the American robin}} ~~~~ Once all the above is done, move the nomination entry to the bottom of the November archive. This is done by simply moving the line {{Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Sound name}} from this page to the bottom of the archive. If the archive is empty add {{FSCArchiveBar}} to the top of the archive.

Not promoted

• Place "'''Not promoted''' ~~~~" at the bottom of the WP:FSC/subpage
• Remove the {{FSC}} tag from the file and any other suggested versions.
• Move the nomination entry to the bottom of the November archive. To do this, move the line {{Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Sound name}} from this page to the bottom of the archive.
  • If the archive is empty add {{FSCArchiveBar}} to the top of the archive.

Delisted

• Place "'''Delisted Example.ogg''' ~~~~" at the bottom of the WP:FSC/subpage:
• Replace the {{FeaturedSound|Sound name}} tag on the file with {{FormerFeaturedSound|Sound name}}.
• Remove the delisted sound from Portal:Featured sounds (if doing a replacement, instead replace with the new file, updating the description as needed) and add it to Wikipedia:Former featured sounds.
• Add a brief note to the nominator's talk page to let them know the result.
• If doing a replacement as well:
  • Mark the new featured sound's description page with {{FS|delist/nomination name}}. For example, if the delist nomination was Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/delist/Foo, use {{FS|delist/Foo}}.
  • Put the new featured sound on Portal:Featured sounds, replacing the old one.
  • Replace the old featured sound with the new featured sound in articles, where appropriate. Update the description (if necessary) to cover changes in performers and so on.
  • Optional If the new featured sound is substantially different from the old, add the file to Template:Announcements/New featured pages and Wikipedia:Goings-on.
  • Optional: If appropriate, notify the uploader of the new featured sound with {{subst:UploadedFS|Filename.ogg|Title for the sound}}
• Move the nomination entry to the bottom of the November archive. To do this, move the line {{Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Sound name}} from this page to the bottom of the archive.
  • If the archive is empty add {{FSCArchiveBar}} to the top of the archive.
