:I don't think we should do one of Thy Dungeonman games because it looks like we're doing StrongBadZone the week before this one, which is also a game. I suggest we do the toon taken off the site, [[A Jumping Jack Contest]]. {{User:Peter222/sig}}

I say maybe something related to [[Dangeresque]]. Like, the email [[stunt double]], or maybe [[dangeresque 3]]. {{User:DrPepper42/sig}} 14:56, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
+
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:
-
:We're getting to far ahead of ourselves. We're only in July. I think it would be better to just make sure we know what featured articles we will be featuring for the next few weeks right now. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 19:11, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
+
<pre>
-
::Well, technically, we have done the [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque film series]] already. Might I suggest something entirely different? Like say, [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship]]? That one has been suggested a long time ago, but no one was willing to do it because it was too close to another relationship article on the one between [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad's Relationship|Homestar and Strong Bad]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:49, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
+
{{FA queue|<date>|Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=<article name>}}
-
:::I guess we can do that one now. It's too bad there aren't more feature-worthy relationship articles, though. This might be our last one, we'll see. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:42, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
+
</pre>
-
::::Not necessarily. We also have relationship articles between [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|Strongs Bad and Sad]] and [[Strong Bad and The Cheat's Relationship|Strong Bad and The Cheat]] in the nominations section. Mind you, they'd need to be updated somewhat, but I think they're doable. But yes, we should pace ourselves here. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:20, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

-
:::::I hope you're right. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:23, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

::::::There's also another relationship article that can be placed in the hopper given the word content: the one between [[Marzipan and Coach Z's Relationship|Marzipan and Coach Z]], of all things. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 23:33, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I think we sorely need to do something related to [[Puppet Stuff]]. How about [[Everybody Knows It]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 07:28, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:[[Everybody Knows It]] is a bit on the short side. I'm not sure if a writeup would be long enough or not. If not, I still think featuring something Puppet-related is a good idea. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:09, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::Well, then how about the [[Biz Cas Fri]] series? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:05, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::Incidentally, because many of the Puppet Stuffs are short, it might be worth considering a week of Puppet Stuff dailies (not necessarily this week). The Biz Cas Fris are probably long enough for a week, though. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:19, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::That's it! We have NOT done dailies in a LONG time. The ones we could feature are: [[Everybody Knows It]], [[Puppet Time]], [[Homestar vs. Little Girl]], [[Homestar vs. Little Girl 2]], [[Strong Bad vs. Little Girl!]], [[Homestar vs. Other Little Girl]] and [[Marshie vs. Little Girl]]. How about that? Mind you, it's just a prototype, but it should give an idea. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:04, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::My only problem with this list would be Marshie vs. Little Girl and Homestar vs. Little Girl 2 are both Halloween themed.  If we do this, it would be better to move it closer to Halloween (maybe Week 43) and/or substitute some of the [[Biz Cas Fri]] shorts... which should get featured anyway.  But, I would concede these are all mid-importance articles that work well for dailies. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 05:12, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::::I think Mr. Wolf is exactly right about the Halloween ones. Also, they're quite possibly long and involved enough for a whole week. Another thing we haven't considered are the Puppet Jam sessions, all of which are rather short and unlikely to make a good week-long feature. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:16, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::Well, I'm fine with this. One way or another, though, we need to include something with the puppet stuff. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:20, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::Sure, and we have plenty of time to refine the list. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:21, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::As for the Puppet Jams, we don't have to necessarily feature any of the separate ones; we could do an article on that series as a whole. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:23, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::::Hey, I got it. How about doing the week thus, as per the dailies-type to give you an idea. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:15, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

[[Puppet Jam]] series. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:15, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
+
:''Discussions in this section regard articles that, per consensus, require further expansion of the article itself before the article should be featured.''
-
:Again, the problem is this is just a short intro and a list; articles that are featured, even as dailies, should have some content beyond what's on the front page.  How about [[Bad Jokes]] as a representative of the series, instead? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 19:34, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::Well, once again, we could do it like with Summer Short Shorts, where we describe each of the shorts in brief, with an intro to the series as a whole. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:38, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::No, as below, we shouldn't feature multiple articles in a single writeup. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:39, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::Well, what if we just had said short intro, a description of the series as a whole and a description of one of the shorts (like [[Bad Jokes]]), as Wbwolf suggested? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:42, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::Like featuring [[Bad Jokes]], and as part of that, including a blurb about the series of which it's part? Yeah, we could do that. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:07, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

[[Biz Cas Fri]] series. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:15, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:The problem here is [[Biz Cas Fri]] points to a disam page.  Similar to the problem when trying to feature the Lappynapped! saga, we shy away from making special pages just to be featured.  In order to pick one, I would lean towards [[Biz Cas Fri 1]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 19:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::Well, then, why don't we do it like we did with Summer Short Shorts? We look at each of the parts in the series individually, but on one article. We dedicate one or two sentences a time to each of the three shorts in the series. Same goes for the [[Puppet Jam]] series. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:35, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::No, we shouldn't feature multiple articles in one writeup. It's a featured article, not featured articles. With Summer Short Shorts, we're still featuring only one article. Not three, as we would for Biz Cas Fri. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:38, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::Well, I think it could work. What we should do is feature an intro to the series, complete with where the name for this series came from: namely, the [[other days]] email. And maybe a description of just one of the shorts featured, like [[Biz Cas Fri 1]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:40, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::::We could feature [[Biz Cas Fri 1]] and include a description of the series as a whole in the opening of the writeup, which is maybe kind of the sort of thing you had in mind. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:08, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

:It would be nice to feature one of the DVD exclusive Puppet Stuff features if we're going to do a series.  [[Real Live E-Mails]] would be a likely candidate.  ([[Puppets On The Road]] is long enough that could be featured on its own.) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:59, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

:May I suggest instead one of the reoccurring names in the Homestar Runner universe, [[A. Chimendez]].  We finally appeared in a short, and [[Wikipedia:Bill Meléndez|Bill Melendez]], his name inspiration recent passed away.  I think it would be a fitting tribute. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 00:12, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

::Yeah, that would work, I guess, except the article is just a trifle short. If we could add more, that would help greatly. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:15, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::I don't think we should do Chimendez right before Gunhaver: Too much Cheat Commandos. (True, Chimendez is not exclusively CC, but his only appearance as something more than a name is in a Cheat Commandos toon.) If we want to do Chimendez this week, I think we should come up with something instead of Gunhaver for next. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:39, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::Then I think we should go back to [[Bowler Hats]] and save [[A. Chimendez]] for another time. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 20:08, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

For this week, how about [[Gunhaver]]? I sincerely believe that the [[Cheat Commandos]] body of work has been too lightly tapped for too long now. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:10, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:Hmm, it'll be a bit recent after Commandos in the Classroom, but it's true, we haven't done much CC. I'm cool with it. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:00, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::And in fairness, we had So and So for Week 4 of this year, followed three weeks later by TGS Issue 12. So this is nothing compared to that. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:01, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's starting to be getting around [[Halloween]] once again. Since we've featured two Halloween-themed items per year in the past (one for the week before Halloween; one for the week during Halloween (one of the major Halloween toons)), I think we should do something like that again. However, I have a few possibilities for this particular week: namely, [[The Goblin]] and the two Halloween-themed emails, [[halloweener]] and [[ghosts]]. Do any of those appeal to anyone? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:47, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:I would like to see [[The Goblin]] featured. He doesn't get enough recognition sometimes, but it just wouldn't be a Homestar Runner Holloween without him. {{User:Acam30/sig}} 02:00, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::Does [[the goblin]] really have enough content to make a good FA though? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:02, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::It's doable, though more content would be great if we could add it. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:27, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::I think it's high time that The Goblin got a page. And with Halloween right around the corner, why not do it then, since he is featured in several of the Halloween toons anyway? I think that article also has enough content for it, though if we can add more, it would be even better. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 03:00, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, this week would be a time where we'd feature an actual [[Halloween]] toon. The ones that had already been featured in the past were: Halloween Potion-ma-jig (for 2006) and Homestarloween Party (for 2007). Anyway, this year, I think we ought to do [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 07:19, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:[[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] would also work.  I don't know which is more worthy though. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 14:43, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::Any of them would be worthy, but I think we've already featured a "choose-your-own"-type Halloween toon recently: namely, Halloween Potion-ma-jig. So I think we should hold off on that kind of toon until a little later and just do something regular, yet a bit older. That's one reason why I picked [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] for the Halloween toon of the year. Plus, the King of Town is dressed as [[Mario]] in that one and I love Mario. And then there are all those twists near the end of the toon, as well. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:15, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::Oh, yeah, and Pumpkin Carve-nival also beget an interesting little catch phrase now common in the H*R universe: namely, "witches' brew". [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 14:04, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::But, do we really need to feature a Halloween article two weeks in a row? Since it's the start of November, maybe we should feature a Thanksgiving-related article or toon. {{User:HRjcm/sig}} 23:31, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::::Well, firstly, we've had two Halloween articles each in the past, and secondly, we don't usually do Thanksgiving stuff until it's actually around Thanksgiving time itself. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 04:45, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::::Yes, we usually do two, kind of like how TBC frequently do two 'Ween-type toons: One short, one full-length. Likewise, we tend to feature one full-length toon on the week that includes Halloween itself, and a different type the week before (such as a short Halloween toon or Halloween-related running gag). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:49, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

We should do [[Taranchula]] this week. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:22, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:With the appearance of the standee in [[Strong Badia The Free]] (and likely references in [[Baddest Of The Bands]]), this might be a fun one to do. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:53, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

For this week, let's make it [[Don and Harriet Chapman]], Mike and Matt's parents. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:01, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:To me, it looks the article is just a little short to featured. (Unfortunately, I can't think of something else to put here.) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 14:07, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::The question is CAN it be added on to, with the available information we have? {{User:Lazylaces/sig}} 14:36, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::I don't think there's really anything else we know that's not already there. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:40, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::And I think there is a reasonable amount of text there anyway. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:26, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::::This one's really borderline, especially since there's no appearances section to help fill out the end. It could be done, I think; I just wish there were more content. But as I've said, I don't think there's any more available. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:28, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::::Well, I just thought that A) we need to do more actual people in TBC's lives, and B) I think the people who actually helped to make TBC possible deserve someplace to be mentioned. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:39, 19 September 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.
