If you want feature a large Shogi variant, Chu Shogi is a prime example.
It has been played on Game Courier a lot, and was the dominant game in Japan for centuries.
It is playable several other programs as well, including LiShogi.
The page itself, provides a good example of formatting that is less image-heavy while still meeting the high bar set for the formats of featured variants, adn received editorial approval a long time ago.
The only thing left is for people other than me to nominate and second it (and to not be vetoed).
If you want a choice that is less intimidating, Seireigi is another great pick, as it only changes the promotions of the back-rank pieces in Shogi while keeping everything else the same. Although it is a standard-size Shogi variant, and is still quite new, it does meet many of the requirements already.
It had been played on Game Courier (albeit only a few times).
It has also been programmed in Ludii. The piece names in Ludii are slightly outdated as of right now becaue the process of adding and updating games is quite slow, but all the moves are up-to-date.
Furthermore, it can even be played over-the-board using a Shogi set. A special PDF file has been made for this purpose.
The article itself is a good example of how to craft a well-formatted article that is a bit more image-heavy, and has received editorial approval, albeit only recently.
The only thing holding Seireigi back from being eligible is that this post is from its inventor, so it needs to be nominated and seconded (and not vetoed) by people other than me.
