===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:

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)
+
-
::But Dennis has the longest intro. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:39, 17 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)
+
-
:::::Then how about doing something entirely different, like [[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::::That article always has been, and I suspect always will be, too speculatory to belong on our main page. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::How about [[Strong Bad's Mount Ridesplace USA]], then? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:17, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::Hmm, we don't feature places too often, so that could be interesting... not to mention that the article includes one of my favourite jokes in the HR canon: the old Riverquest Safariventure. The intro could possibly use a teeny expansion to make this work, but I generally like the idea. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:19, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::MAYBE we could do [[Craig Zobel]] or a  secret page on the site?  Of course i dont this'll be too popular but [[3d Character Variations]]?  would definitely need an expanded intro but id do that if any one wanted me to. [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 12:07, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::::Well, we were already kind of set for Mount Ridesplace. Is there a reason to do one of your suggestions instead (not a vote but a discussion, remember). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:38, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship]]? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 03:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:That one would need to be expanded a bit. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:36, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::Although I like this article, and just expanded it, I would wait on it for now. We don't have that many relationship articles, especially ones fit to feature, and we did feature SB and HR's relationship not long ago. I'd hate for us to exhaust them so soon. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:19, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
+

As much as I feel embarrassed to nominate an article I worked on, what about the [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007]]?  Even if we don't take it now, something to get the ball rolling on an empty week... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 14:09, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

:How about [[The Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005]]? At least that one has a picture. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
+
:''Discussions in this section regard articles that, per consensus, require further expansion of the article itself before the article should be featured.''

::My 2 ideas are [[sbcg4ap]] or [[sbasaf]] I forgot the squigglies [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 12:09, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::Not [[SBCG4AP]] yet because it is too new. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 19:39, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::Yes, HW is definitely right. I'm not sure [[SBASAF]] is really thorough enough for an FA, either, and note that we've already featured [[The Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005]]. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:44, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::Ah, yes, I see now that we did feature that before, on the [[HRWiki:Featured_articles/Archive_3#Week_41.2C_2006|41st week of aught-six]]. All right then, how about [[Moron Life Interview - 5 Sep 2005]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 20:32, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::::Well, that one would have the same problem as Wbwolf's suggestion, in that it lacks an image. Then again, it isn't absolutely necessary to have an image on our main page article, so we could do either one, in which case I would lean toward JengaJam, since it's a more thorough interview (not to mention that Wbwolf did spent a heck of a lot of time working on that). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:45, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::If an image would be needed, the [[:Image:Joss_Whedon_Buffy_Strong_Bad_Shirt.jpg|Joss Whedon]] picture (which was mentioned in the interview) would work. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 21:02, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Either a week of entertainment running gags or 1 gag featured the whole week. (I think if we only had to pick 1, [[Peanuts]] is the worthiest) [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:06, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
+
:''Discussions in this section regard articles that, due to lack of consensus or consensus against, are not ready to be featured at this time. ''
-
:Well, the only problem with that one is that its intro would have to be DRASTICALLY expanded. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:00, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

::How about featuring a classic toon.  [[A Jorb Well Done]] is long overdue for being featured. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:40, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::A Jorb Well Done is a fine toon, and should definitely be featured. There's even enough enticing trivia to expand on it (namely the bit about it originally being animated in an older style, and then updated. The only toon I know of to go through a reanimationing and style change). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

A Food or Drinks Running Gag. How about [[General Tso's Chicken]], [[Fluffy Puff]], [[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar]], or [[Homestar Jr.]]? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 23:21, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:Not exactly running gags, but meh. Fluffy Puffs have been around forever and are clearly important in the H*R universe. I think they'd make a good feature (though the article might need a little improvement). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::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)
+
-
:::How about a ''clothing'' running gag? Like [[Bowler Hats]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::Well, we already have three people interested in featuring Fluffy Puffs. Can you contribute a bit to the discussion by explaining why you think we ought to look at Bowler Hats instead? Remember, this is a discussion, not a vote, and just throwing out ideas without responding to previous suggestions doesn't really help. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:20, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

:::::Oh, I'm sorry, I thought the Fluffy Puff ones was on a different week. Sorry, my mistake. Sure, we can do Fluffy Puff. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:31, 21 April 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 [[Summer Short Shorts]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 03:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

::::::Well, what of the music-themed email week that Sam the Man suggested? Of course, I'm fine with doing that one this week if we're going to be doing Sweet Cuppin Cakes the week before. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:16, 27 April 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)
 
-
:Of the three, I'd say we do [[Homestar Runner's House]]. Of course, The Stick and especially The Field have been around forever, but as you said they need to be updated, so the armless white guy's abode would be the best bet. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:44, 21 April 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)

:Oh, and if I might make a bit of a plug: I'm working on a subpage about guidelines for FAS: [[User:Heimstern Läufer/FAS]]. I welcome comments and improvements, especially from any regulars in the discussion here. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:14, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[[A Folky Tale]]? Full-length toon with quite a bit of content, not to mention funny. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:I hate to burst your bubble, but if we're going to be featuring A Jorb Well Done for Week 20, then maybe we should do something else, so that we don't have to worry about exhausting everything instantly. I think that's what you said about "Homestar and Marzipan's Relationship". I would like to feature this, though; just not so soon. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:06, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::Well, the comparison is not exactly valid. There are many toon articles that can be featured, but few relationship articles. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::Well, alright, I guess we can do it, then. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

::::Wait, I got a better idea. Why don't we just do [[Saddy Dumpington]], the character? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:07, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Since we already featured [[Happy Fireworks]], how about [[Cardboard Marzipan]]? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:I guess we could do that. Another thing we should try is [[Fireworks]]. Of course, that one would need to be updated drastically. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:42, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::Yeah, which is too bad, since Fireworks is definitely better connected to July 4th. But then, there's no obligation to do a July 4th article, so there's no harm in doing a one with a loose connection like Carboard Marzi.

Have we featured [[The Announcer]] yet? If so, how about [[Homestarloween Party]]? --[[User:Technochocolate|Technochocolate]] 03:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC) <font color=white>Or specially marked.</font color>
 
-
:Getting pretty far out in advance again; let's not go any further than this week for a bit, OK?
 
-
:We haven't featured The Announcer yet. That article could possibly use some expansion before featuring, but it's a possibility. [[Homestarloween Party]]'s been featured (and we usually save Halloween toons to be featured at Halloween, anyway). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::Yeah, let's slow down a little bit, huh? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 08:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::Ten weeks is enough. I think we have 12 now. Let's hold it to 10 - guideline suggestion? Question mark? The Announcer works for me. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:47, 25 April 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.
