Forum:CT Archive/Adjusting the Featured article image on the Main Page

The other day I was showing the Wookieepedia to a friend that had never been to the site before. He wanted to click on and read the Featured article, and his first instinct was to click on the image accompanying it, which of course led them to the File page, not the actual article. I then had to point out the bolded link that would lead them to the actual article.

This made me think that, for ease of access, we should make the Featured article image link to the article. I doubt my friend's reaction was an isolated one, and there is little to be gained by not linking the image to the featured article. The change can be achieved by adding |link= and specifying the article name. Ie, for today's FA, this would be |link=Bozhnee sector

If you think linking the image to the article is a good idea, vote support. If you disagree, oppose. As always, please discuss any new option before adding a third voting choice. --Eyrezer 06:02, August 17, 2010 (UTC)
