Featured images are images that add significantly to articles, either by illustrating article content particularly well, or being eye-catching to the point where users will want to read its accompanying article. Taking the adage that "a picture is worth a thousand words," the images featured on the Main Page should illustrate a wiki article in such a way as to add significantly to that article, according to the featured image criteria.

All currently featured images can be found in the featured images gallery.

Nominations

<createbox> align=center width=30 break=no prefix=RuneScape:Featured images/ preload=RuneScape:Featured images/Preload default=File:Example.png buttonlabel=Create new nomination </createbox>

Featuring images

• The image must be in compliance with the images and media policy.
• An image may be nominated by any user, including the uploader, per discussion. This also applies to nominations for replacement or delisting.
• Nominators are not allowed to advertise their nominations, solicit comments, or trade nominations with each other, as this would be gaming the system.
• Do not change the image while it is being voted on. Changing an image by uploading a new version of the image, or by changing to a different file of a similar subject can void all comments made before the change, and may lead to confusion.

Replacing images

• If you are nominating an image to be replaced, provide a picture of the original image and add a link to the previous nomination. A historical list of nominations is stored in the archives.
• Obsolete images can be replaced with an updated version. Doing so will immediately delist the image. In order for the updated image to retain featured status, it must pass a replacement discussion.

Closing nominations

• When a nomination is closed, if successful, the following code should be added to the image's file page:

{{FIMG
|subject=<article name>
|desc=<fimg description>
}}

Current nominations

File:Yakaminu pet.png

Description: Water snek.
Reason: Good image, good editing.

• Support - As nominator IsobelJ 14:58, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Support - It is pretty. User:Zafryna/Signature 16:42, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Support - Looks good TonyBest100 20:04, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Support --Iiii I I I 21:58, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be featured. --Liquid^Talk 02:00, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

Noxious scythe (ice)

Description:
Reason: Good quality image. Everyone likes dyes and ice dye is pretty.

• Support - As nominator IsobelJ 12:26, March 12, 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose - Not a fan of featuring equipment images, especially when players take up the majority of the space. If the player had different coloured clothes (clashing with the scythe), then I wouldn’t support it at all - but that doesn’t imply that every equipment image we have needs to be with the player having good clothing colours. Also, we never get the angles we want in an equipment image because we want to focus mainly on the weapon, but that often makes the player look way out of place (like it is here). It wouldn’t look good on the main page.

Then I guess this brings up the DII discussion - would I support a DII pic of the scythe? Probably not - I’ve just never seen DIIs as something worthy to be featured (exceptions do apply eg DFS). Prove me wrong though, show me a DII of an ice dyed scythe. Haidro ^(talk) 23:16, March 12, 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose - Texture bug. You can see black squareish outlines. Even then, a nox scythe is a bit boting at this point in time. Coelacanth0794 Talk 02:18, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

• Support - Any image of dyed weaponry is always a good addition seeing as its not like there's one appearing everyday. User:RobbotRS/Signature 00:33, March 18, 2018 (UTC)

• Strong oppose - Per haidro. --Scuzzy Beta 22:37, March 23, 2018 (UTC)

• Closed - image will not be featured. IsobelJ 13:39, March 24, 2018 (UTC)

Nominations for delisting

2009 Christmas event

Reason: Is 8 years old, historical image. Graphics look dated and no one cares for Christmas images appearing on the mainpage the vast majority of the year.

• Delist - As nominator IsobelJ 20:09, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - Dated graphics and was a one-time event TonyBest100 01:00, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - I'm never keen on featuring images that relate to one-time events. Haidro ^(talk) 08:22, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose - I took this :( --Iiii I I I 21:57, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose - I know the guy who took this :( --Liquid^Talk 20:08, March 13, 2018 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be delisted. --Liquid^Talk 02:02, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

Avatar of Destruction

Reason: Basically unchanged since 2009, the graphics look dated and unimpressive compared to newer content. Image is taken at a weird angle.

• Delist - As nominator IsobelJ 20:13, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - Bad angle, soul wars is dead. Haidro ^(talk) 08:22, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist --Iiii I I I 21:29, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be delisted. --Liquid^Talk 02:04, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

Bandos coffin

Reason: Graphics look dated, textures are meh.

• Support - As nominator IsobelJ 20:16, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - Why did we even feature this in the first place? Haidro ^(talk) 08:21, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist --Iiii I I I 21:25, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be delisted. --Liquid^Talk 02:06, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

---

2011 Christmas event

Reason: 2011 Christmas event image. It's historical and the GE doesn't look like this anymore.

• Delist - As nominator IsobelJ 20:19, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - Looks like a picture someone would take if they just received a camera for the first time. Haidro ^(talk) 08:21, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist --Iiii I I I 21:20, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist -User:Zafryna/Signature 15:14, March 14, 2018 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be delisted. --Liquid^Talk 02:08, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

2011 Christmas event

Reason: Plenty of better looking portals have been released, this doesn't look great in comparison.

• Delist - As nominator IsobelJ 20:21, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - It's just a portal... Haidro ^(talk) 08:21, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist --Iiii I I I 21:20, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist -User:Zafryna/Signature 15:14, March 14, 2018 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be delisted. --Liquid^Talk 02:10, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

Eruni

Reason: NPC isn't as impressive graphically as newer content. Lacking detailed textures etc.

• Delist - As nominator IsobelJ 20:25, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Neutral - This is the only one of your nominations I haven't voted to delist. I think the design of the three apes is quite nice, and the blue one does fit our site colour scheme the best. Maybe it's just me liking the glowing hands. Haidro ^(talk) 08:23, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose - I like this --Iiii I I I 21:30, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will not be delisted. --Liquid^Talk 02:12, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

Blood Runs Deep

Reason: Dated graphics e.g. character models pre-facial features update.

• Delist - As nominator IsobelJ 20:27, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - TonyBest100 01:02, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - Old - perspective looks wacky. Haidro ^(talk) 08:20, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist --Iiii I I I 21:20, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist -User:Zafryna/Signature 15:13, March 14, 2018 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be delisted. --Liquid^Talk 02:12, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

Jaldraocht Pyramid

Reason: Subject is dull. Whole lot of bland sandiness and walls/scenery practically the same colour.

• Delist - As nominator IsobelJ 20:30, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - Horrible colour scheme. Haidro ^(talk) 08:20, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist --Iiii I I I 21:19, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist -User:Zafryna/Signature 15:13, March 14, 2018 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be delisted. --Liquid^Talk 02:15, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

Mithril dragon

Reason: Old graphics, translucency on the wings is not applied very well.

• Delist - As nominator IsobelJ 20:33, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - Not as cool as it was in prior contexts. Haidro ^(talk) 08:18, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist --Iiii I I I 21:31, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be delisted. --Liquid^Talk 02:16, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

Nature grotto

Reason: Is from 2009, looks extremely dated.

• Delist - As nominator IsobelJ 20:35, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - Heavily outdated. Haidro ^(talk) 08:18, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist --Iiii I I I 21:18, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist -User:Zafryna/Signature 15:12, March 14, 2018 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be delisted. --Liquid^Talk 02:18, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

Mobilising Armies

Reason: Outdated looking graphics (see NPCs on tops of the corner towers). Mobilising Armies is irrelevant/obscure content that few people care about.

• Delist - As nominator IsobelJ 20:38, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - Horrible angle - I'm sure Fswe would be sad to see this go. Haidro ^(talk) 08:19, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose - I like this --Iiii I I I 21:57, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be not delisted. This image is unique in that the original FIMG nomination was from less than six months ago, versus over 7 years for most of the other images. Due to the high amount of support it received just a short while ago, it will not be delisted so soon after with much less support. --Liquid^Talk 02:20, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

Photo Booth

Reason: Old: textures/lighting look bad. File name isn't even correct.

• Delist - As nominator IsobelJ 20:40, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - Nothing special. Haidro ^(talk) 08:19, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose - I took this :( --Iiii I I I 21:31, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose - I know the guy who took this :( --Liquid^Talk 20:09, March 13, 2018 (UTC)
• Possible suggestion for replacement instead - Just noticed that the date on the file was from around 8 years ago, so I went to retake in NXT. TonyBest100 23:13, March 13, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - Image should be updated to NXT, but even still, there's nothing too special about this https://i.imgur.com/xHR7zpA.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/6encXAo.png 23:30, March 13, 2018 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be delisted. --Liquid^Talk 02:21, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

Tormented Demon

Reason: Graphics outdated, very outdated.

• Delist - As nominator IsobelJ 20:55, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - Looks like the player model from 2008. Haidro ^(talk) 08:19, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose - I like this --Iiii I I I 21:56, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be delisted. --Liquid^Talk 02:23, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

TzRek-Jad

Reason: Kindof dated now and not as significant/impressive as it once was. Weird shiny lighting.

• Delist - As nominator IsobelJ 20:58, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist - Lighting's bad and better pets have been created since. Haidro ^(talk) 08:18, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist --Iiii I I I 21:18, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
• Delist -User:Zafryna/Signature 15:13, March 14, 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose - I like it, it's somewhat obscure and still holds nice graphics for updated content. Coelacanth0794 Talk 02:20, March 17, 2018 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be delisted. --Liquid^Talk 02:24, March 17, 2018 (UTC)
