A '''Featured article''' first appeared on the [[Main Page]] on 4 April 2016, the first article chosen being [[GWR 17410 'Toad' 20T Goods Brake Van]]. Since that time a new article from the Wiki has been selected, normally on a weekly basis. The 100th article to be featured, [[WD 193 Shropshire]], appeared on 30 July 2018, with the 200th article being [[The Thirty Nine Steps]] on 20 July 2020. The 300th article, relating to the GWR's [[Country Lorry Service and Cartage Service]], appeared on 4 July 2022.
The featured article is a way to bring something new to the [[Main Page]] on a regular basis, but more importantly it is an opportunity to review the article, looking for improvements and additional content. For that reason it usually includes a subject which has not appeared before; to date only six fewer than 10 articles have featured more than once.
