Featured articles (previously known as Articles of the Month (AOTM)) are articles considered to be the best articles in the RuneScape Wiki, as determined by RuneScape Wiki's editors. Before becoming featured, articles are reviewed for accuracy, neutrality, completeness, and style according to our featured article criteria.

Featured articles are featured on the Main Page. A small gold star icon (Goldstar) on the top right corner of an article's page indicates that the article is featured.
