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:

===Week before Halloween 2010 (Oct 18-24)===

==General discussion==
-
It will soon be that time of year once again, All Hallows Eve. Traditionally, we have two Halloween-themed articles, one for the week before Halloween (a minor Halloween toon or something Halloween-related) and one for the week during Halloween (a major Halloween toon). Anyway, for the week before Halloween, I'm thinking of a Puppet thing, [[Homestar vs. Little Girl 2]] (this one even mentions that a Halloween toon would be released later in the week). [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:52, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
+
-
:How about [[That-a-Ghost]] instead? And since there are hundreds of Ween-themed articles on this wiki, how about one the week after Ween as well? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 08:33, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
+
-
::I don't think we should do more than two. It'd be just too much of an awesome thing. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:33, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
+
-
:::I'm not saying I'm in favor of doing three weeks, but if we did do it, then we would have to do the Fan Costumes series. Okay, I'm done. And as for the week before Halloween, I think we've just done [[Parsnips A-Plenty]] recently. How long has it been since we've done a [[Puppet Stuff]] toon?

::::::A series of dailies? No, that hasn't been done, but I also don't really think it should be. Halloween toons are some of the largest on the site, and they pretty much all deserve a full week, I think. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:16, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

:::::::I agree that we should stick to a week-long feature on Halloween. A daily the week before might not be a bad idea, though. {{User:Power Pie/sig}} 01:13, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::And even without the issue of the H'we'en articles being too important for a daily, there is also the fact that there are always six of them available at a time (less if we don't see a new one this year), making a daily impossible.

Before I forget, I had previously suggested this one in the old format but was too soon to feature.  I think it'd be a nice feature for the next time we do an email.  --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:57, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

:::It's too short. {{User:Power Pie/sig}} 01:45, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::::Just because a 'toon is too short doesn't mean it can't be featured. On the contrary, this particular email had an impact on many future emails, and it's also become an oft-quoted 'toon. I agree with TAG. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 05:52, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

===[[Fonts]]===
 
-
It's the biggest page on this wiki - I think it deserves to be featured sometime soon. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 10:41, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:It seems too list-like and without enough prose to make a good feature to me. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:05, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::Per Heimstern. Although we wre able to feature lists in the past by putting key examples in the writeup, I highly doubt that will work for the fonts page. {{User:Power Pie/sig}} 01:45, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:::I'd say it's feature-worthy, and I could probably write a good FA paragraph on it, but it is really just one big list, albeit a long, useful one. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 06:01, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

===[[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship]]===
 
-
The most obvious relationship on the site, and one that I have audibly cried at. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 10:41, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:An interesting topic, but the intro is pretty short. Could we maybe expand it? Then it'd probably make a fine feature. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:03, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::I expanded it some: <blockquote>'''[[Strong Bad]]'s relationship with [[Strong Sad]]''' usually consists of Strong Bad hurting or making fun of Strong Sad, though not all the time. He has given Strong Sad various [[Nicknames#Strong Sad|insulting nicknames]] and often hurts him. However, Strong Sad and Strong Bad occasionally get along, usually when Strong Bad is in need of an assistant. It appears that Strong Bad is at least partly responsible for his little brother's depression; Strong Sad [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon|writes]] that in his big brother's absence, "[He feels] cooler, and less like [he sucks] so bad.".</blockquote>{{User:Power Pie/sig}} 01:11, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

:::I like the idea. Maybe the trend of SS getting revenge on SB could be mentioned somewhere in there? --[[Special:Contributions/93.207.89.184|93.207.89.184]] 12:38, 22 September 2010 (UTC) (That Anonny Guy)

::::I don't think we have. It looks like we've done [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]] before, but [[Answering Machine]] doesn't appear in bold on the [[HRWiki:Featured Article Nominations|nominations]] page. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 17:34, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

===[[Theme Song Video]]===

One of the earliest toons on the site. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 10:41, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

:I'm sorry, but awesome as that song is, that toon's way too short to work well on the Main Page. {{User:Power Pie/sig}} 01:45, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

===A Daily===
 
-
Sometime soon, can we have a week of daily articles? I was thinking maybe stuff on [[Old Flash Stuff]] or some [[Main Pages]]. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 10:41, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:A Main Page daily would be awesome! {{User:Power Pie/sig}} 01:45, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::As long as it's in November or later, for the at least 6 month spacing of dailies, A week of dailies would be nice. Although, hard to choose just 7 Main Pages to feature. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 22:25, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:::I don't know if this is the best way to go about this. If you have seven articles in mind for a daily, then you should propose those seven articles, but don't just say "We should do a daily." --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 05:55, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

===[[for kids]]===
 
-
Stave it off, 1, 2, 3, and now you can count to threeeeeeeee! I really think this email should be featured- it's hilarious, has a lot of material to work with, and can be summarized well. {{User:Power Pie/sig}} 01:45, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:Yeah, I agree with every part of that sentence. Maybe we could do the [[Stave It Off Guy]] soon too. [[User:Doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] September 7, 2010
 
-
::Third[[-'d]]. The article and 'toon are both great, a character is introduced, and [[Homsar]]'s character is developed further. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 05:58, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

===[[The Cheat's Gold Tooth]]===

How about featuring TC's tricked-out grill.  -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.13.68|132.183.13.68]] 18:12, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

It's a cool & major song. {{User:Power Pie/sig}} 15:06, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

:Um...... most of the page is lyrics. As much as people love the song (me included), I don't think it can be featured in it's current state. [[User:doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] September 7, 2010
 
-
::I would have to agree. We would need some actual content to put on the homepage. The point of the Featured Article section is to showcase an article that the wiki can be proud of, and I'm not sure we can be proud of a page of lyrics and trivia. {{User:DENNIS/sig}} 21:49, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

:::I see your point & I recant that suggestion. {{User:Power Pie/sig}}

===[[Mario]]===
 
-
Still not registered, but still interested in FAs... :-)
 
-
People keep saying, interesting Wiki pages should be featured, not just important HR universe stuff. Upon browsing the nominations I happened upon the Mario page. That's something rather offbeat and it's fitting since Nintendo celebrates the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. in Japan this year. Whaddaya think? --[[Special:Contributions/93.207.89.184|93.207.89.184]] 12:38, 22 September 2010 (UTC) (That Anonny Guy)

===[[Not the 100th Email]], [[Sbemail 150?!?]], or [[Page Load Error]]===

===Something Cheat Commandos-related===
 
-
We haven't done anything CC-related in a while. How about a character, like [[Firebert]] or [[Blue Laser Commander]], or [[Shopping for Danger|the first major CC toon]], or [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|the toon that started it all]], or [[army|the e-mail that inspired CC]]?

::The article is listed as needing cleanup and revision. I doubt we'd be able to feature it in its current state. {{User:DENNIS/sig}} 08:45, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

:::As the second anonny points out, this article has a been a serious point of contention on-wiki. I'm not sure we should feature on article that a number of users think shouldn't even be an article. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:03, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

===[[The Field]]===

Exactly one year after proposing [[The Field]], I would like to propose it again. It is an important place which appears in about half the toons on the site. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 05:21, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
