Question about "Featured one year ago today"

Have there been any recorded cases where an article was deleted within one year of when it was featured? What would be displayed in the "Featured one year ago today" space if no article was available due to deletion?

P.S. The header of this page says "New stuff at top," but none of the comments seems to follow that rule, so I hope I can get away with clicking the plus sign. --Pentium5dot1|t~^_^~c 00:50, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Plus sign is fine :)

Well, there's no need to solve that problem, as featured articles are never deleted. But if there wasn't a featured article exactly a year ago (or the day before that) then that section just doesn't show up. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 01:20, 02 Aug 2008

I tought I had written a pretty good UnNews article but apparently it was too crappy to make it to the front page can you guys check it out and give me feedback on how to improve it please? It's called "UnNews:Congress bans all names with apostrophes" check ch-ch-check ch-check ch-check it out.

Actually, making the front page with UnNews has very little to do with quality of article. It has a lot MORE to do with the RecentUnNews template. We don't tell anyone where it is, so only the oldest writers have access to it. Wait, I just told all of you, didn't I? Also, sign your posts.--<<>> 18:13, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Its your photo is it not? Surely taking a picture of a rabbit with 2 pancakes made too look like a hat shows your excessively wasted time. I'm quite bored with time to burn so will point some things out.

1. You made some pancakes and decided 2 ontop of each other looks a bit like a hat.
2. You saw your rabbit and put 2 and 2 together.
3. You painstakingly balanced the pancakes ontop of the rabbit probably gluing them on with hot syrup despite protests from the poor furry creature who has shown you nothing but love and trust.
4. You got a camera out after prodding said rabbit with a stick until it got into a position worth taking a picture of inflicting many bruises to the dimune animal.
5. You clicked the shutter button and blinded the impoverished, now infirm rabbit just so you could upload it onto the internet.

As above, you clearly have too much time on your hands you bad, bad man. --—The preceding signed comment was added by Projectmayhem666 (talk • contribs). 11:55, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

What does the Main Page have to do with changing your signature? -RAHB 04:42, December 12, 2011 (UTC)

Absolutely nothing. I just realised who ever wrote the thing about my signature being too tall was joking. Sorry. --POP!GoesTheWeasel 04:57, December 12, 2011 (UTC)

Did you fall victim to the username template? -RAHB 05:10, December 12, 2011 (UTC)

I fell victim to the template on the main page announcing me as Noob Of The Month. But I realised it was a joke. I apologise again. --POP!GoesTheWeasel 05:45, December 12, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, no worries then. There weren't any to begin with. But still, no worries now either. -RAHB 05:51, December 12, 2011 (UTC)

Naw, it was too tall, but only by a couple pixels (15px tall max). Making a big deal of it was a joke, though, indeed, but I'm glad it's resolved regardless. 1234 ~ 06:09, 12 December 2011

MAIN PAGE IS FEATURED TWITTER ARTICLE

I was just doing a TV listing - hope to god I didn't do anything? But anyhoo, can someone with brains revert the page. Thanks Dan Ticklethekeys (talk) 09:16, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

It's called a reskin. -- The Zombiebaron 16:13, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Thankyou sir for your reply. I didn't know we did that. Great goal for any writer here to be featured so prominently. I have two questions: When I go to the main page, the side box isn't there. I mean from the Potato logo down and all around the Twitter article. It can't be just me that sees that? Secondly, even with the side box, how can people get to our beloved UnNews and other sexy Uncyclopedia sub-genres? I'm usually quite quiet and get on with my own thing but the orgasm factor of seeing the front page is missing. I'm not climaxing, as the collective intelligence of our wonderful front page is redundant. Can't a featured article be the focus but we still get to see everything else? Just asking, don't punish me with drill exercises General, I am a promising Sergeant who likes the company marching correctly but happily.. Dan Ticklethekeys (talk) 23:46, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

The logo and sidebar are hidden because of something called "Fullscreen.css". To access UnNews, click "Current events" in the navigation sidebox. None of the other UnProjects can be accessed from the sidebox. Reskins are a rare occurrence, so it's not like "the rest of the Main Page" is going to be hidden from now on or anything (also, not all reskins cover the "rest of the Main Page" bits). -- The Zombiebaron 05:10, August 24, 2012 (UTC)

What is the actual function of a reskin? Is it like a snake sometimes needs to look good to all the snakes on the disco floor so he gets a reskin.? How long does a reskin last? My only concern is that a new user might come to the site and feel unable to move. So they go to cracked (sly squint). You know people have no attention span nowadays... Having no side bar will baffle them or simply annoy them so much they run down the street naked in distress. I just don't understand the logic? If it's a rare occurrence like the green flash at sunset, why even bother in the first place? All it's done to the screen I'm looking at is annoy me and made me run down the street naked in distress. It seems like breaking a butterfly on a wheel for all it's achieved. The twitter article is brilliant! I mean nothing against that. I'm just speaking on behalf of the average moron who says, "Duh.. De page gone some place..." Hope you take my message as it's meant... I'm not being an ass, valid point. Daniel Ticklethekeys (talk) 01:22, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

Screw what I just said (well some of it) the page is back to normal. In future, if I am ever such a star writer that I'm featured, I will request you don't put my article fullscreen.csi. Having it set like that for a day just loses a bunch of new viewers that day. I will end this conversation now with polite gestures, kisses and a cake I baked. I really love the site and all the hard work people put in. Ticklethekeys (talk) 01:33, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

I disagree with what you say about reskins losing us new users. When I was new to this site, I used to just read articles. Then one day I went to the Main Page and it was all strange and reskinned. Naturally, I wanted to figure out why that had happened, which led me to discover the community. -- The Zombiebaron 02:57, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

Oscar was the original, great guy. Is that OW link as the day you first saw it many moons ago? If it was set that way then it's an attractive skin as All the other parts of the front page are underneath and easy to see. Well can we meet in the middle on this discussion? An article can have the full screen as long as the side panel remains working. What annoyed me was, there was nowhere to move. All I saw was the featured article and the featured article. Additionally Could Current Events just be changed to simply, "News"? Featured Content to "Latest Content"? Or something that suggests the site as regularly cared for and updated? Every site has a latest section usually. If this could be amended then we could in effect have a new featured article every day! An interesting daily reskin but with ease of use on the sidebar? Hey now that sounds fun. Have a think. I appreciate your concise answers also appreciate you are the longest serving here. Yesterday's reskin was the right idea (it is more attractive) but with the above tweaks I mention - could be attractive and practical. Thanks. Daniel Ticklethekeys (talk) 04:43, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

The OW: page is similar to what it was in 2005, but some of the front page templates have been revamped since then so it does look slightly different. I like your ideas for changes to the sidebar, but you'll need to get community support before I can make the change. Try starting a vote about it. I don't think that daily reskins are a good idea. Reskins are best used irregularly to shake things up. I'm sorry that you felt like Fullscreen.css didn't allow you to access the rest of the site, but there were plenty of interwiki links that would have taken you to other articles, all of which had sidebars. -- The Zombiebaron 05:39, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

Yes I will ask others about slight changes to descriptions on the sidebar. "Current events" should be "Current affairs". (Sounds naughty too) Current events sounds like we go out for scones and tea together at the local church and play bingo. lol. Oh and while I'm here, who exactly is maintaining the news section? It needs to be rotated a bit more often with newer stories adorning the page. My own article has been sitting as the main story for days and even I'm sick of looking at it. Matt was sharp as a flash to keep things from becoming old and crusty. I don't want to say anything as it's not my place. Can someone remind whoever does it that it needs regular injections of botox. Even news gets old. Hope you are having a good day. Dan Ticklethekeys (talk) 09:20, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Mattsnow recently retired from his post as unofficial UnNews King. This means that instead of all of us relying on him to do things, everyone now has to pitch in to do it – that means that you can update the UnNews templates yourself – until such time as it becomes clear that somebody else is willing undertake the responsibility entirely by themselves. So yeah, go right ahead and change it yourself. -- The Zombiebaron 00:46, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
