Who chose the featured image? From what I know of I saw no votings or anything that to what the featured image should be. Perhaps we should create a Forum or a talk for voting featured images, selected/all users could choose an image of their choice, along with the reasons for their choice and a support, oppose and comments section for possible voting. Votings could last, say, a week? Then the highest voted voted or critically acclaimed one are chosen to become featured pictures. Similarly to how Super Mario Wiki does it. {{User:Joshazilla23/Sig}} | Who chose the featured image? From what I know of I saw no votings or anything that to what the featured image should be.

:Greenpickle and I were talking about it and we came with an idea. Only one person changes it with no vote.

The only bad possibility with that is that other users may dissagree with (not being offensive) the featured image you picked. You could let other users have their say '''before''' you pick an image. For example, on greenpickle's talk you could say... 'Im thinking of having '''Insert image''' as the featured article, what do you think?'.

==Image links== | |||
Currently, clicking on the featured image takes you to an article about the subject of the image, rather than the image's file page. There are advantages and disadvantages to doing this. It has the benefit of taking readers to a place where they can read more about what's shown in the image if they're interested. But in almost all cases, the article linked by the image is also linked in the caption, and it prevents readers from seeing a higher-resolution version of the image. So should we continue doing this, or remove the custom links and have all featured images link to the file pages? — [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 22:44, August 22, 2022 (EDT) | |||
:Since the links can be found in the caption, I'd say that's enough. Plus some images probably don't have one main subject, but multiple. I vote for linking to the image. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:52, August 24, 2022 (EDT) | |||
