Featured timelines should be near-perfect timelines that are extremely fleshed out. They are brilliantly written and of a professional standard. They are very comprehensive, not neglecting any major facts or details. Featured timelines should be very well organized and structured, with every page of the timeline able to be traced back to the main page. A user should be able to easily navigate through the timeline and not get lost in the pages of the timeline. These timelines should have many pictures, videos, flags, maps, and other supplements along with the core content. A featured timeline should have little to no stubs on subjects that should be detailed and extensive. The point of divergence and events following it should be very plausible, giving that plausible is the aim of the timeline. This is the highest award a timeline can receive.
