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.

So, what do you think?
Leave it like that
