I searched and searched and could not find the definition of a “featured topic”. In particular, I am wondering how the featured topics are selected for the category view when you have “Categories with featured topics” selected for the desktop category page view.

Featured topic?

The last (n) topics with latest replies. I agree the text describing this is not great, maybe we should change it to “with recent topics”.
