Note that this chart does not take into consideration the three hundred-odd featured lists. It does, however, include the thousands of lists in the number of overall articles, so the proportion of featured articles is actually somewhat higher than it would appear from this chart. For details of the promotion of featured list candidates, see the featured list log.
