Improvements in need

FGTC Improvements in need:

• Three even-ranked coordinators instead of Director-delegate system[1]
• Mass renaming of Good Topic Pages. At the moment, all topics are named "Featured topic", regardless of it they are featured or good topics.
  • Passed, not done
  • Mostly done now, needs some cleanup and intemplementation to preserve
• Combining the two talk pages into one [2]

---

• Simpler record keeping strategies (model off of FAC) (this is unnecessary)
• Massively simplify Wikipedia:Featured and good topic criteria
  • Currently there is just too much overly specific information on that page (most of which is routinly ignored by reviewers, for good reason). The Recommendations section, for instance, contains many things which ought to be either be formal rules (topics don't overlap) or not there at all ("The articles use a common infobox where appropriate" seems far too contentious, given WP's controversy on infoboxes).
• Every topic should have a summary paragraph at the top, many do not at the moment
• Go through and make sure subtopics are linked in the main topics (as here)
• Three (non-temporary) coordinators
• Change topic talk page templates to not encourage discussion (they're not watched at all, like template/category [3] namespace(s)), direct discussion to main FGTC page
• User talk:Rick Block#Query on Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by featured topic nominations
