The above page has been created to be a part of this department. Neither I nor the creator know how to do that though. I hope at least one of you wonderful people take up the opportunity it provides to create another "story that never ends. John Carter (talk) 18:05, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
TranswikiThis should be transwiki'd to Wikiversity.

Animal Quiz restarted, but at MFDHi all! I noticed that the Portal:Animals/Quiz was at MFD, so I stepped in and asked a new question to try and save it. If any of you want to participate, come on over and make a guess! If you get it right, you get to ask the next question. Cheers!

So I suggest that it should be added to funny WP namespace pages that are not intended to appear to have a serious purpose (e.g. the wikiclinic). We could add it to the talk pages of those articles. I also think we should add a "funnyiness" like wikiprojects have a "rating" box. Sounds good?--Ipatrol (talk) 20:22, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
The answer to life, the universe and...a new holiday?The number 42 is almost universally celebrated by everyone on a project that is supposed to encompass all human knowledge. Even Jimbo Wales acknowledges the number. So therefore I propose that the 42nd day of the year (I believe it is Febuary 11th) become Life, Universe, and Everything day. While holidays have been traditionaly been created by Jimbo, he has said that we don't need his approval for every little thing. So what do you think?--Ipatrol (talk) 21:08, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

WikistoryThe Wikistory was speedy-deleted yesterday. I am rather ambivalent about this (on the one hand, the Wikistory seems like a lot of space to waste on silliness in an encyclopedia; on the other, I am fond of Wikipedia's loopy subculture). However, I thought I should at least bring it to the attention of people who feel more strongly about it, especially as deletion has been discussed and voted down before. Incidentally, the Sentence Wikistory still exists, but is barely more coherent than the original and could conceivably be deleted under the same criterion. A.

I speedied it because, well, it was nonsense for nonsense's sake, and we have a CSD for patent nonsense, and I am COLD UNFEELING ROBOMINISTRATOR, HERE TO DESTROY ALL FUN. I didn't notice that there were some ancient MFDs, though, but it flunked CSD G1 and the HTBFANJS test. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire - past ops) 04:47, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
My Talk Page?Click discussion. You can find my talk page there. There is a little game there in which you can add rules to my talk page; in the theme of FightClub. So I'm wondering whether I should add it to DOF. Suggestions? Kausill (talk) 03:00, 28 March 2009 (UTC) WikiSong The Musical!LOL. Something along the lines of Wikipedian: Hehe, now that I've signed up on Wikipedia I'm going to vanda- Beurocrat: Welcome to Wikipedia! Here are a few tips to get you started! First of all - Wikipedian: Er... dude. I just signed up 'cause I want to vandalise Wikipedia. Beurocrat: :(. No. First thing you have to learn is WikiLove! Wikipedian: WikiWhat? Beurocrat: WikiLove! Come on! Sing with me!
Wikipedian: Er... WikiLove? More like WikiBLAMBLAMBLAM. :Beaurocrat: Blam-Blam-Blam? Oh I get you! You're from NewGrounds! Something stupid like that. It will be a collaborative effort.

Yours very greedily, Kayau David Copperfield MOBY DICK the great gatsby 06:55, 2 August 2009 (UTC) Proposed game."Constitution". In this game, you just add rules to define how to play it and what you must and can't do. If you have a question about how this is supposed to work or a problem you can see with the concept, you can add an rule or rules to fix it. Nothing is disallowed till a rule disallows it. Don't kill the game by making it impossible or too annoying to play, please. It's been some fun to play when I started it here and a few other sites. I'm not sure if it would work worse or better as a Wiki game then a forum game though. Anyway, opinions?--<color=orange> Occono </color> (talk) 09:17, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

We could archive them like a game, and we even !vote to see which one is the funniest (1 out of 3 in a hoax challenge). Cheers Eduemoni↑talk↓ 05:06, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
BestiaryI have an idea for a game I call Bestiary. The user is attempting to create a zoo, but may only include animals whose articles he has improved. First user to reach 100 animals in his zoo wins! Pinguinus (talk) 17:55, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
CabalAn editor went on an anti-cabal spree a few hours ago (including userspace essays, which is Not Okay). I've reverted the ones I noticed in the recent contributions, but I believe that Category:Wikipedia Cabal Decrees is still about half the size that it used to be. It might be worth considering these articles and seeing which ones are more appropriately listed in which categories. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:17, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
Wikipedian Book of MythsI would love to be in charge of a page that was devoted to so-called myths of Wikipedia, like the end of Wikipedia.

{{5~}} ...does anyone else find this funny?I think {{5~}}, {{4~}}, and {{3~}}, are hilarious templates. Is this just me? Someone actually nominated {{5~}} and {{3~}} for deletion. Should we add them to our project? Other than humor, I think they're useless.

A new articleI have just created a new article called Wikipedia: Wikilinkitis, which drew inspiration from Wikipedia: Editcountitis. I know it is not much at present, but would any one like to look at it to improve it. After all, it could get recommended for deletion if it does not get improved. I shall therefore be grateful if any one could improve it. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 21:01, 23 February 2012 (UTC) The Odd EditorMaybe there should be a game/activity thing where somebody has a Wikimedia Commons picture of some sort of animal doing something odd, and based on that picture users come up with the edits that animal would make if it possessed the ability to use the computer.

WikiFaunaWe have an overwhelming amount of WikiFauna, and some of them differ greatly in terms of article length and insight. For example, WikiDragon is much longer and deeper than WikiMule. Therefore, I believe that we should have a standard "skeleton" of headers and subheaders for WikiFauna that all will fill in. I was thinking of a cross between WikiDragon and WikiPuma, as they are two of the longest WikiFauna articles, and while they both share some, like "Attributes, Values, and Powers", they differ in some. For example, WikiPuma doesn't have "Theories on origin" or "Taxonomy", but WikiDragon doesn't have "Juveniles" or "Overworking". Agreement? Disagreement? Comments?

A vote on the top 10 lamest edit warsI suggest we vote on the top 10 lamest edit wars in the history of Wikipedia (if you don't know what I'm talking about, Wikipedia:Lamest edit wars will tell you everything about lame edit wars). The purpose of this is to have a special section on the page where the lamest of the lamest edit wars are documented. The guidelines are below:
