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.

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.

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}}
