Template:Featured image

Hey, I noticed you recently edited Template:Featured image, and mentioned in the edit summary that it would be nice if more images were added. A while ago I thought it would be a nice idea to completely revamp that template, and go through Pikipedia's entire file catalogue to choose a good set of high-quality images for the template. I kind of wanted to do it, but with over 10,000 images, searching them all for good ones would not be a fun task. Were you planning on going through images to add to the template? If you were, can I help with the task? If you weren't, do you think it would be a good idea to set up a featured image system on Pikipedia? I'd be open to going through the list, but only if it was worked out in advance how a proper image featuring system would work, and how the template would fit on the Main Page. — Soprano_(talk) 02:52, April 13, 2022 (EDT)

If there were far fewer than 10,000 images and I wasn't already so busy cleaning up the Pikmin Fanon, I would consider going through them all. Reimplementing the featured image system would be a splendid idea. It could cycle through images the community considers high-quality. The template could be placed on the left side, and where I think it would fit best is on the right of, or below, on mobile, the featured article template. ~ Cheepy (talk) 

Perhaps we should also bring back Template:Excerpt; then the featured image template could go on the left of the page and the excerpt template could go on the right, above Template:Did you know? I'd be fine with starting a project to gradually revive these templates, but we'd probably want to get Espyo's approval first. Espyo, what do you think of this idea? — Soprano_(talk) 18:00, April 13, 2022 (EDT)

Sounds excellent! Both of those templates will look great like that. ~ Cheepy (talk) 

Reviving the templates would be nice, though having them both on the front page wouldn't be a good idea. By themselves they might not have enough content to be varied and useful enough, but if either one shows up, decided at random, it would be more interesting. Plus, adding too much content to the front page isn't a good idea. Readers should be able to find what they want easily, from all facets of the wiki. The featured image and excerpt templates are good ways to browse for random content, but they're not as central as actual categories and such. Presenting the user with a noisy front page makes things feel non-cohesive and cumbersome. — {Espyo^T} 17:29, May 4, 2022 (EDT)

Those are good points. Curse my need to have all of everything! ~ Cheepy (talk) 

The problem with that is I can't think of a way that the Main Page, with its two-column style, could fit just one extra box; there would have to be two to avoid having a large empty space. I think it would be cool to revive these templates, but I'm not going to start the long process until there's a consensus that it's necessary. Would it help the wiki to do this? — Soprano_(talk) 20:44, May 5, 2022 (EDT)

I'm sure there are plenty of people that peruse Pikipedia just to read about Pikmin content, or outright read. Sure, there's the random page button, but I'd think having a random image or excerpt on the main page would be enticing to click on to see or read more. Maybe the two templates could be merged if two is too many. ~ Cheepy (talk) 

I've started going through the alphabetical image list and making a list of the ones I consider feature-worthy. It'll be a long time before I finish, but when I do, I'll post the list here. — Soprano_(talk) 00:30, May 13, 2022 (EDT)

Excellent! I can't wait to see it. ~ Cheepy (talk) 

Some time has passed, and I'm done! I've looked through every image on the wiki, selected the ones I thought were feature-worthy, and then did a second pass through the ones I chose so I would have the best selection. The result is this list of 124 images, presented here in random order:
