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:

-
::At some point, we ought to feature something from the Lappynapping saga. Ideally, I'd love to feature the entire saga for a week, but we don't exactly have a summary article for the whole thing, and I'm not sure we should. One possibility could be just featuring [[cliffhangers]] one week and [[retirement]] the next (pros, it allows us to cover the saga; cons, it takes up two weeks). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:42, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

</pre>
-
:::I like the idea, but I also agree with the problems. The closest we have to a summary article is on [[Lappy 486#Lappy-napping|the Lappy's page]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:51, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

:::::Since Valentimes is so rarely done in H*R, featuring [[Teen Girl Squad 12]] would be a good thing for this week.  Hopefully, TBC will add more "holiday specials" in the future. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 23:36, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[[Who Said What]]. That game is very popular now, and should be featured, especially since it is so far the only old game not featured.
+
-
:In case this is not clear to anyone: We will not be featuring Who Said What Now? until such a time that we can unprotect this article. In the meantime, please don't suggest featuring it, since such suggestions cannot be honored. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:52, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Haven't featured a character in a while. How about [[Frank Bennedetto]]? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:25, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
+
:''Discussions in this section regard articles that, per consensus, require further expansion of the article itself before the article should be featured.''
-
:Ooh, featuring a pseudocharacter. Sounds like a good idea to me. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:21, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::I like [[Frank Bennedetto]]. Or maybe [[The Battle of Strong Badia]]. [[User:Sbemailnum314159|Sbemailnum314159]] 01:54, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::I would rather not. A pseudocharacter we should save for later. Although I do like [[The Battle of Strong Badia]]. Let's feature that. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 19:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::Why would you rather not? If an article already enjoys solid support, you really shouldn't come in at the last minute and oppose it without a solid reason. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:54, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::Pseudocharacters shouldn't really be featured over things like [[The Battle of Strong Badia]], since this was important part of an email, and Frank Bennedetto isn't really an important part of an email. Right? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 20:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::::No, I don't agree. Frank has reappeared in multiple toons, whereas the Battle of Strong Badia is really just a summary of most of the events in the email [[army]]. That makes Frank of greater importance than the Battle, in my opinion. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Per the discussion page, how about [[Lappynapped!]]? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:45, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:All right, sounds like a fine idea. Note that this won't prevent us from also featuring [[retirement]] and/or [[cliffhangers]] someday should we choose to. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:20, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

-
Let me put in a different idea [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] why have we not done this one. {{User:The-homsarrunner/sig}} Mar 2 2008
+
-
:We've kind of been discussing doing something relating to the Lappynapping saga for quite a while, and I don't see any reason to deviate from that plan.
+
-
:As a more general note, could I ask everyone who contributes to this page to consider this: If an idea has already been suggested for a particular week, I think it's poor etiquette to suggest featuring a different article without explaining why it would be a better choice. It's kind of dismissing someone else's idea without a reason. I'm not suggesting that we should always feature whatever article is suggested first, but that we should remember always explain why another article would be better rather than just sticking our suggestion in conflict with the original. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:52, 3 March 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)
 
-
:::: If that is the case, I would say [[japanese cartoon]] is long overdue as a featured article. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 05:20, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

:::::Yeah, we should just feature [[japanese cartoon]] this week. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 19:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Does [[April Fools' 2007]] have enough information to be a featured article? {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 20:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:There ''was'' no April Fool's 2007. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:42, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::Oops. I mean [[April Fools' 2006]]. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 01:35, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::That article doesn't really have enough of a prose intro to be on the main page as it stands, and I'm not sure the topic really lends itself to a lengthier intro (someone may feel free to crush my doubts, though). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:59, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::How about one of the other April Fools' gags, such as [[Under Construction]] or [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]]? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:20, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[[Trog-Cave]]? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 00:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

:That article is far too short for featured status. May I suggest [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]] instead? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 00:47, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

How 'bout [[History according to Strong Bad]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:21, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

:[[HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 10|Already been featured]], albeit under a different title. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:33, 1 March 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)

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)
 
-
::To do that one, we'd need to expand its prose intro by at least a few sentences. Anyone want to do that? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::How 'bout [[Atari 2600]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:12, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::This one would also definitely need an expansion of the intro first. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:14, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

:::::Then how 'bout [[Atari Dragon]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:24, 3 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.
