"Looking at games that have already been nominated and seconded, I'll make Expanded Chess the featured variant for September, 2023. It is the most favorited of games that have been nominated and seconded, and it has a good web page. I considered Sac Chess, which I'm more familiar with and would personally like to feature, but I think its page has some more room for improvement."
I have substantially edited the Sac Chess Rules Page (especially the Notes Section). See if you like it better now, Fergus.
P.S.:
From the Recognized Variants thread, on the topic of Primary Items (from an exchange I had with Fergus that I'd forgotten - may be a good idea to post this in the present thread, too):

It might be a good idea to replace Recognized Variants and Primary Items with Featured Games and Featured Pages, the former being a subset of the latter. Featured pages would be ones that we want to draw greater attention to or that we expect users would be looking for more. These could include links to games that enough of us think highly of, links to well-known or popular games, and links to commercially available commercial games. These could be featured at the top of search results, as Primary Items are, but referred to as Featured Pages instead. Also, they could be a bit more dynamic than Recognized Variants, meaning we could drop something from the Featured Pages, such as a commercial game no longer being made, or a game that has been reevaluated.'
