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.

Though, as I mentioned, the random images are chosen not from all uploaded images, but from those in the template that are explicitly chosen to be on the whatever-it-is. That needs updating, really, could do with some images that have been added since, especially those NPC! enemy concept art ones.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} | Though, as I mentioned, the random images are chosen not from all uploaded images, but from those in the template that are explicitly chosen to be on the whatever-it-is.

::Woah, that's ages away. I don't know, enough people seem to be against it to make it something we shouldn't implement... It's hard to keep everyone happy, though I suppose the majority ''is'' for the change. I say we could give it a trial for maybe a week, changing it somewhere between daily and twice a week depending on who has the time, and see how that goes.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} | ::Woah, that's ages away.

:::Reconsidering, you're right. July is still a month away. I say that the image should be changed twice a week or once. Why don't we try it, because as you say, it's a 4 to 3 vote. <span style="border:2px dashed #FF0000;background-color:yellow">[[ | :::Reconsidering, you're right. July is still a month away.

::::Um, where should the box go? I mean, I can't envision it having anything more than the image, 'featured image' and maybe a really short description, but at the moment, the random image box is itself randomly cycled with two others, below the featured article - so it's not prominent and not visible most of the time. Most of all, the new one is the wrong shape for where this is, as it's taller, needs less width, maybe 300-400px. If I put it next to the featured article it starts to look a bit cluttered and would really smush everything up for those with smaller screens. | ::::Um, where should the box go?
