On the Main Page of Wikipedia, there is a section which is called did you know (DYK). DYK is meant to showcase new articles as well as rebuilt articles (articles which have been expanded over five times their original size, essentially making them new, or articles completely lacking references which are then doubled in size plus the addition of references).
