Discuss nominations for the featured article and the front-page slider here. -Throwawaytv 08:59, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

While season three is airing, we are doing one slider for the latest aired episode, one for the upcoming episode, and two features. Usually they are changed on the first of every month but changes can be discussed at any time. ~Bobogoobo (talk) 09:06, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

January 2019 Nom-nom-nominations

Two and two! Two Student Sixes and two Pillars! I say Sandbar and Ocellus (they seem to be a duo), and Somnambula and Flash Magnus! Unless yous have anyone better in particular? --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 23:02, December 12, 2018 (UTC)

I would prefer Yona instead of Ocellus for the reason I stated above, but otherwise, Support.-- Jonny Manz^talk_contribs^e-mail_{edit count} 07:12, December 13, 2018 (UTC) 

Yona was already featured back in November though! Oh but so was Sandbar. So the only one left is Smolder. Smolder and Ocellus, and then 2 Pillars I already mentioned! --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 00:28, December 16, 2018 (UTC)

February 2019 nominations

For February, I'm nominating The Break Up Break Down (for Valentine's Day), My Little Pony: IDW 20/20 (which was just released), My Little Pony: Nightmare Knights (its last issue will be released next month), and Mistmane (the only remaining Pillar of Old Equestria not featured). Thoughts?   Golden Bluebird  16:22, January 23, 2019 (UTC)

SupportCan't think of anything at this time! --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 17:57, January 23, 2019 (UTC)

Support} solid reasoning all around-- Jonny Manz^talk_contribs^e-mail_{edit count} 12:47, January 24, 2019 (UTC) 

March 2019 nominations

For March, I'm nominating My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Spring Breakdown in anticipation for its release late next month on March 30 (and I think it should stay featured until April given its release would still be very recent when we enter that month) alongside Rollercoaster of Friendship (which should've been featured back when it aired but nobody suggested it). As for the remaining two slots, I think the Friendship Is Magic shorts and the Winter Wrap Up event (what with winter ending and all) should be featured.

What do you guys think?   Golden Bluebird  03:12, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

April 2019 Nom-nom-nominations

I know this seems too soon, but it just seems like a good idea! King Sombra is coming back, and the premiere is taking place at least partically in the Crystal Empire, so those, along with the first two episodes of the season (which we should be getting later this month) as the nominations! --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 02:28, March 2, 2019 (UTC)

Support Makes sense to me.-- Jonny Manz^talk_contribs^e-mail_{edit count} 09:23, March 6, 2019 (UTC) 

The Crystal Empire article has already been "featured" back in December of 2012. Now, I understand why you made this mistake because the article isn't in the "featured articles" category, as is the case for a lot of articles that were in the front page slider pre-2014 but weren't considered featured articles back then as only the article in the first slot of the slider was considered the featured article rather than all four. I just added all of those articles in the category, so hopefully you won't run into this problem again whenever you decide to do these nominations.

Anyway, like I said, the Crystal Empire article was already featured, so I suggest that a different Crystal Empire-related article should be featured, so how about we feature King Sombra alongside the crystal ponies?   Golden Bluebird  20:40, March 18, 2019 (UTC)

May 2019 Nom-nom-nominations

This one was a toughy to think of since anyone coming back this Month already had a chance. So I'll suggest Tree of Harmony for one cause of its main role in the first 3 episodes of the season, and Castle of the Two Sisters since it's right there above it. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 21:33, April 14, 2019 (UTC)

July 2019 Nom-nom-nominations

Aunt Holiday and Auntie Lofty, Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood, My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Sunset's Backstage Pass, and My Little Pony: Rainbow Roadtrip! There, that wasn't so hard, was it? --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 20:03, June 19, 2019 (UTC)

I Support Aunt Holiday and Auntie Lofty along with Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood. As for the other two, I suggest that they should instead occupy the Aired/Next slots, so when Between Dark and Dawn airs, the Next slot will be occupied by Rainbow Roadtrip, and when that special airs, the Next slot will be occupied by Sunset's Backstage Pass up until it airs where the Next slot will then be occupied by That's a Laugh.   Golden Bluebird  21:08, June 21, 2019 (UTC)

August 2019 Nom-nom-nominations

Not many new characters in the newer episodes, and I think it's best to save Grogar for closer to the finale, so for next month, let's go with Zecora and Angel because of She Talks to Angel! --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:00, July 16, 2019 (UTC)

Support Assuming they haven't been featured articles in the past (which I'm too lazy to check right now), I don't see why not.-- Jonny Manz^talk_contribs^e-mail_{edit count} 12:25, July 24, 2019 (UTC)

September 2019 nominations

With a Daring Do episode coming up, I'm nominating Ahuizotl and Dr. Caballeron as featured articles for next month.   Golden Bluebird  21:06, August 23, 2019 (UTC)

October 2019 nominations

With the whole show ending next month, I propose that we feature Grogar given his role in the final season and Lauren Faust as a way of honoring her for creating this show. What do you think?   Golden Bluebird  21:37, September 22, 2019 (UTC)

November 2019 Nom-nom-nominations

It's gonna be hard thinking of good articles for this, so how about a School theme? We'll do Ponyville Schoolhouse, Cheerilee, Silver Spoon, and Twist! We'll do this theme again in another month containing the School of Magic and other students. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:07, October 23, 2019 (UTC)

One of those should be My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Holidays Unwrapped, as it premieres on November 2.   16:12, October 23, 2019 (UTC)

Alright maybe save these for December, and replace the other ones with EG character pages. --Mega Sean 45 (talk) 16:33, October 23, 2019 (UTC)

I feel like, in that case, we should either do various EG-exclusive background/side characters (such as Micro Chips - assuming they have articles, for obvious reasons) or perhaps some of the villains - from the specials or from the movies. I dunno.-- Jonny Manz^talk_contribs^e-mail_{edit count} 09:07, October 24, 2019 (UTC) 

Then I propose:

1. Holidays Unwrapped
2. Micro Chips or Chestnut Magnifico
3. Wallflower Blush or Vignette Valencia
4. I'm on a Yacht

  14:06, October 24, 2019 (UTC)

Support Sounds good to me. I vote for Micro Chips and Wallflower Blush.-- Jonny Manz^talk_contribs^e-mail_{edit count} 08:48, October 25, 2019 (UTC)

Support Per all the above, though I just want to say that the page for Holidays Unwrapped is still in the workshop. Should it be moved now?   Golden Bluebird  20:14, October 31, 2019 (UTC)

Done.   20:32, October 31, 2019 (UTC)

December 2019 nominations

I nominate My Little Pony Holiday Special 2019 for one of the featured slots for December.   17:53, November 27, 2019 (UTC)

Support, and I would suggest that the three other slots should be filled by pages for Hearth's Warming-related musical numbers. Specifically, I would nominate The Heart Carol, Say Goodbye to the Holiday, and Hearth's Warming Eve Is Here Once Again.   Golden Bluebird  03:04, November 28, 2019 (UTC)

So, should I just go ahead and change the featured articles? I would like to, but I don't want to do that without the opinion of at least one other person on whether the articles I suggested should be featured or not.   Golden Bluebird  16:04, December 1, 2019 (UTC)
