User template: WP:BEANS

basically the red button which is in WP:BEANS.

{{User:Wesoree/beans}} which produces this red button:

Uh-huh
Do NOT click on the red button.

It´s perfect for any userpage, even used on mine too. -- Wesoree (talk·contribs) 12:41, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ironic criticism of Wikipedia, something for the archives?

Thought this was rather funny. One Wikipedian also sent me a thank-you note for it. Is there a place where we archive funny self-defeating criticism of Wikipedia? I'd like to give others a laugh. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 18:44, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Idea for new page

Hi, I think it would be fun to set up a page called Wikipedia:Sandbox Highlights that's basically like BJAODN but for the Sandbox, cataloging all the weird, wild and wacky stuff added there over time. Do I have to get permission to create it or can I just do it? (I'm not a Department of Fun member but I might be soon.) TypoEater (talk) 16:15, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. Go ahead, make the page! - Master of Hedgehogs (converse) (hate that hedgehog!) 23:48, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Verifiable (but not True) History of Wikipedia

From time to time, sources talking about Wikipedia get things wrong: maybe they say the WMF closed an RFC that was actually closed by a few admins, maybe they say ArbCom blocked someone who was actually banned by the community, maybe (as I have seen happen once!) they say a Wikipedia article is going viral when the screenshot is clearly actually from another (non-WMF) wiki. Has anyone ever tried to compile the errors and write an alternate history article about Wikipedia, where all the content is wrong but Reliably Sourced? (Not in mainspace, but on a silly project page.) -sche (talk) 22:36, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The aforementioned TFD does not exist there. It, however, exists on the prior day's TFD. Alfa-ketosav (talk) 09:14, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have a proposed game where people can guess the link based on a description. For example, Founder of Wikipedia (actually co founder)
