===Redirects===

This is a placeholder topic for 5-year redirects.  Due to overall decreased activity, FAs are now being reused more often.  The common practice has become to redirect to the FA exactly 5 years prior to the current FA.  When an article is re-used, mark it in the following manner:
 +
<pre>
 +
{{FA queue|<date>|Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=<article name>}}
 +
</pre>
 +
Example:

After looking at the FA history for this year and the nominations, it looks like we haven't yet featured a Strong Bad email.  I'd like to suggest [[comic]], the origin of [[TGS]]? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:Like I said earlier ijn the year, how about a daily featured article week with [[Compy 386]] emails. Just some classics: [[comic]], [[japanese cartoon]], [[dragon]], [[crazy cartoon]], [[personal favorites]], [[monument]], [[video games]], [[your friends]], [[invisibility]], [[time capsule]], [[monster truck]]. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 17:43, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

-
::[[dragon]]'s already been featured, so it wouldn't include that. Some of those other ones may be significant enough to have a full week also ([[japanese cartoon]], possibly). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:45, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::I counted eleven emails in that list, unfortunately the week only has seven! :S.  However some of these (like [[japanese cartoon]]) have already been featured. Same goes with [[dragon]] and... I guess that's it.  However, we may have featured more than I know: [[HRWiki talk:Featured Article Selection#Milestone emails.]] is a talk section I'm still going by and I think a better week-long selection might be garnered from that list (perhaps not, perhaps a common theme like Compy 386 might be better? not sure.) Anywho, at least with [[japanese cartoon]], [[HRWiki:Featured article nominations]] isn't up to date (I remember updating the Milestone emails list) since I'm guessing lately we haven't been using that list for the nominations.  So I suspect there may be other emails we have featured that haven't been marked as "featured". --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:55, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

:::I take back what I said. I can't find [[japanese cartoon]] in the FA history. Why the heck did I mark it!? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:58, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

::[[DNA Evidence (running gag)]] week. We feature [[strong badathlon]], [[unnatural]], [[the movies]], [[your funeral]], [[from work]], [[rough copy]], then we top it off with [[DNA Evidence|DNA Evidence (toon)]]. If that doesn't work out, we just feature [[DNA Evidence (running gag)]]. It's a DNA Evidence all you can eat salad bar! {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 21:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

-
:::I think I would favor featuring the running gag page, rather than each of the individual emails.  I think the toon [[DNA Evidence]] is important enough that it deserves more than just a single day to be featured. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 06:02, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps another pseudocharacter. How about [[Drive-Thru Whale]] or [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]]? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 19:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

:I think it might be too soon for a pseudocharacter.  We have [[Frank Benedetto]] and possibly [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]] in about a month's span.  How about another category of article, such as [[TV Shows]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 01:02, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

How about doing a name used commonly in the website, like [[Dennis]], [[Dan]] or [[Douglas]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 04:43, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:Of the three, I'd say that [[Dan]] is the biggest running gag.  However, the intro would need to be expanded in order to get on the FA page.  The other two, I think are pretty short. (Though [[Dennis]] is close...) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 01:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

:::I do like [[Dennis]] better. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 20:18, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::I'm not convinced either of these is really ready to feature right now. For [[Dan]], the problem is that the intro is too short, making it hard to make a substantial write-up. By contrast, the intro of [[Dennis]] is fine, but there is scant content outside the intro. Remember, the writeup has that link saying '''(more...)'''. We need to have something, and not just a little bit, that makes that link worthwhile, and I don't think Dennis is really there yet. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:52, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

:::A Jorb Well Done is a fine toon, and should definitely be featured.

::Besides, we already did a foods week [[HRWiki:Featured_Article_Selection/Discussion_Archive_2007_Weeks_41-52#HRWiki:Featured_article_for_2007.2C_week_41_.28Oct_8-14.29|not that long ago...]] [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] would be a worthy possibility for a week long feature (and it was suggested as a possibility in the earlier discussion). {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 00:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Heading into summer - how about a week of featuring emails which introduced important songs and musical motifs? I'm thinking [[guitar]], [[techno]], [[death metal]], [[different town]], [[concert]], [[candy product]], and end it with [[rock opera]]. Order might be better switched up a little. Believe it or not, none have been featured, and all are of importance to TBC's musical ouevre. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

:I'm really tired of these suggestions for running daily FAs.  Most of the time, the suggested daily articles usually important enough to be featured for the entire week or too short to be noted at all.  The emails noted here are a good example of this problem.  [[guitar]] or [[techno]], for example, are very important emails, and should get a week by themselves.  In fact, any of the suggested emails should get an entire week.  Personally, I'd start with [[techno]] for this week, and leave the rest for a later time. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

::Well, your position is definitely noted. I don't think we do dailies all that often. When we do, it's due to a strong theme and a series of strong contributors to that theme. I would agree that the two emails you cite, along with several of the others, ''could'' get a week to themselves. The fact that they all reside on the nomination list and have never been featured is conspicuous. And this also delves into why we feature articles in the first place - is it to give every article its due, or to give the visitor their due? I think a week of dailies compels the visitor to return, to maybe get active. I think they are good things for the wiki. I can see how others might argue to the contrary, and that's cool. I kinda think this idea is a strong one. Just my opinion. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

:::::How about [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]? Or maybe a character in it like [[Eh! Steve!]] (my idea was previously rejected above.) {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 12:10, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm up for an important place. There always been '''[[The Field]]''', '''[[The Stick]]''' and '''[[Homestar Runner's House]]'''? However, [[The Field]] would '''drastically''' need an intro cleanup, and [[The Stick]] would need an intro cleanup too. [[Homestar Runner's House]] is the best choice, so I'd go with that. That's '''always''' been around since like '''day 5'''. Unless anybody else can think of something else, I'm for Homestar's House. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 21:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

:Maintenance coming in: We're going to far out in terms of dates right now. We're now talking about eleven weeks ahead of today; we really should keep the discussions a little closer than this. Go ahead and discuss this one, but could we please not add any more weeks for a bit? Thanks. Resume discussion. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

How about something 20X6ish. Like '''[[Planet K]]''' or '''[[Stinkoman Headquarters]]'''? If those don't work, how about a character, like '''[[Cheatball]]''' and '''[[Shadowy Figure]]'''. If those don't work, how about '''[[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items]]''' or '''[[Stinkomanual]]'''? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 10:39, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects

This is a placeholder topic for 5-year redirects. Due to overall decreased activity, FAs are now being reused more often. The common practice has become to redirect to the FA exactly 5 years prior to the current FA. When an article is re-used, mark it in the following manner: 

{{FA queue|<date>|Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=<article name>}}

Example: 

{{FA queue|15 Aug 2011 |Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=1-Up}}

Please keep this discussion in the FA page at all times, but do copy it to archive pages as well.
