===[[Hiatuses]]===
 
-
Given how long it's been since the last toon, I guess it sounds appropriate to emphasise that fact by featuring this article. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 12:20, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 
-
:Given that featured articles are supposed to be '''the best the wiki has to offer''' and given that that page is '''up for discussion''', I don't think this is a good idea. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 13:24, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 
-
::One, I've expanded it, and two, it's been up for discussion since October last year. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 01:54, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
 
-
:::The expansion made the article more of a mess.  In my opinion, it's still not good enough for any consideration of a feature based on article standards.  And the article shouldn't be featured for the purpose of educating people on a current event, though I don't know if we would want to feature it on the basis that hiatuses are now "infamous" among H*R fans. &mdash; [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 17:05, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
 
-
::::I made a detailed draft of "Hiatus" for FA. You can see it [[User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/Draft|here]] --{{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 01:19, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 
-
:::::Unfortunately, your draft only addresses the minor hiatuses. It should address every phase of the hiatus, since this hiatus is much more important than the minor ones. <small>Speaking of which, should that Wiki discussion mentioned on the page be linked? And should we rewrite [[HRWiki:Keep your pants on]]?</small> {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 00:40, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 
-
::::::Okay, I re-wrote the draft. I think we should nominate this FA for next week. --{{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 15:46, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::Once again, I don't think that the lack of something is worth documenting, much less featuring. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:08, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::Also, by "The mysterious question is now answered. No, [t]he website is ''not'' dead.", what do you mean? What are you referring to that says this? And what about my questions above? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 20:16, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::Sorry I didn't answer the above question. We should not re-write [[HRWiki:Keep your pants on|HRW:KYPO]]. The "Mysterious question" is "Is the website dead, or is TBC just taking a long break?", and some people think that a "dead website" is a website that...Ummm...It's hard to explain. For example, If homestarrunner.com was "dead" then there would be no more toons, and no more updates to the website ever again. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 15:26, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::::Actually, a dead website is one where the domain is left to expire... Clearly TBC care enough to continue to renew their domain. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:12, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

===Week of April Fools' (Mar 26-Apr 1)===
 
-
I think that for April Fools Day 2012, We should feature...something nonsense. Something that doesn't make sense...Something that's impossible to understand, like [[User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/draft#Nonsense|this]]. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 21:49, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 
-
:So basically, you want to throw a bunch of unrelated homestar-related words together and call it a featured article? That is neither a "feature" nor an "article". (And yes, i get that it's april fools, but that's only one day, not an entire week, and i don't find this particularly funny, and like has been said before, it's not a good prank if everyone knows about it beforehand.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:40, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 
-
::DeFender already pretty much said it, but I'll say it in my own words: we only ever feature mainspace articles. That's not a mainspace article, nor is it in any other namespace (okay, it's in your subpage, but it's still not part of its own article). Anyway, for an April Fools' feature, I'll go for [[April Fools' 2006]]. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 12:43, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

An important page on the site. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 01:16, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:Can we manage a writeup of this? There's no prose introduction to speak of, so it'd have to be some sort of summary. I'm not at all sure you'd be able to get enough content out of the FAQ page to make a proper main page writeup. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:23, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::I think we'll be able to do an introduction of this. I support nomination. [[User:doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] 21 February 2011
 
-
:::I missed that this page had been "slated" to feature this week despite inadequate consensus for featuring.  There is reasonable question whether there enough material to feature.  This cannot be featured until an adequately-long FA has been made.  I'd suggest writing one to show that there is and then featuring it on a different week. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 13:40, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

-
::The only reason the Cinder Block is on in the first place is when Strong Badia is on. I would rather feature Strong Badia if we ever feel the need to have this mentioned. [[User:Doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] 12:26, 2 April 2011 (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.
