See that Random Image subtitle in the Main Page? The one that changes every time you enter the wiki? | See that Random Image subtitle in the Main Page? The one that changes every time you enter the wiki? | ||
Well, some pages like, for example, Wikipedia and Mariowiki have a featured image. It is just like the featured article, but it shows cool images in the wiki. Now having a number of images greater than 1,100, I suggest that it is changed into a Featured Image instead of a Random Image. <span style="border:2px dashed #FF0000;background-color:yellow">[[ | Well, some pages like, for example, Wikipedia and Mariowiki have a featured image.

CL, the images shown now are randomly chosen from selected ones, all the ones listed in [[template:featured image|the template]], so it's easy to keep out any that are inappropriate for the front page. And I'm voting for a change, because it might be interesting. Since it's images, for which less would have to be done to change the feature, this could easily be done more often than the featured article, maybe every few days. | CL, the images shown now are randomly chosen from selected ones, all the ones listed in [[template:featured image|the template]], so it's easy to keep out any that are inappropriate for the front page.

:Then what wiki had fan-art popping up all over main-page... d@mn vandals... <s>cake</s> errr...

I agree that a featured image is better than random image every time you go to the main page. The featured image is what we have on my wiki and it works very well, mostly because I chose the featured things. There won't be any <s>crappy</s> fan-art on the main page because there might be a comity of people who are trustworthy to pick the right images, or just the same thing you do for the featured article. The point is that a featured image instead of a random image is better. | I agree that a featured image is better than random image every time you go to the main page.
