Unreviewed featured articles/2020 (URFA/2020) is a systematic approach to reviewing older Featured articles (FAs) to ensure they still meet the FA standards. Through 2025, with 4,526 "very old" (from the 2004–2009 period) and "old" (2010–2015) FAs initially needing review:

URFA is working to help maintain FA standards; for some, FAs are restored via FAR. For others, improvements are initiated when talk pages are noticed.

Examples of 2025 FAs that kept their status at FAR or were deemed "Satisfactory" at URFA/2020

There remain almost 4,000 old and very old FAs to be reviewed, and any little bit helps to improve our oldest FAs.

Ideas for how you can help are listed below and at the 2022 Signpost article:

More regular URFA and FAR reviewers will help assure that FAs continue to represent examples of Wikipedia's best work. If you have any questions or feedback, please visit Wikipedia talk:Unreviewed featured articles/2020/2025 report.

Thanks to the URFA people and everyone who maintains FAs. Maintenance is just as important as content creation/expansion! Icepinner (Come to Hakurei Shrine!) 08:14, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

There are 137 Featured articles with statements tagged as unsourced. DuncanHill (talk) 09:14, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

We can't even find people who are willing to review current Featured Article candidates. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 15:04, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
