Editing 40d Talk:Department of Dwarven Veteran's Affairs

Genius! A masterwork idea! [[User:Noctis|Noctis]] 09:49, 11 December 2007 (EST)

:This is destined to be deleted.  I'm not sure why anyone goes to the trouble of writing a creative work in this space.  Should be moved to the author's page.  --[[User:Geofferic|Geofferic]] 19:04, 12 December 2007 (EST)

::Hilarious! You should start your own section of these under your author page. A tongue in cheek guide to dwarf fortress. [[User:Calculus|Calculus]] 19:06, 12 December 2007 (EST)

:::You shoulda seen the old wiki - before the agents of [http://www.wikipedia.org ''poo-taaa-tooo, PO-TA-TO!''] turned up and made it uniformatted.  Good example would be discussing the old-skool lumberjack "cutting <s>himself</s> down trees" :P
:::The author page - that's the one linked to by my signature isn't it? --[[User:Frostedfire|Frostedfire]] 02:48, 14 December 2007 (EST)

This fine article and this discussion gave me idea about a "shadow" wiki. For most popular topics - make a default serious article (as is now for most topics) and make a clearly marked, unified style links at the top of some pages to "shadow" variants that would state basically the same things as the original but in a creative tongue in cheek words. Of course only "shadow" article should be allowed to wiki-link to other "shadow" articles. --[[User:Another|Another]] 04:15, 14 December 2007 (EST)

:Not a shadowed wiki, but instead a flavored wiki. It would be as easy as linking to '''Flavor:article''' instead of the normal article. --[[User:Ikkonoishi|Ikkonoishi]] 11:04, 14 December 2007 (EST)

::Or even merely a template like the spoiler template, that simply says "Information on this particular article is meant purely for humor value and should not be taken seriously. (However accurate it may in fact be.)"--[[User:Alfador|Alfador]] 11:28, 14 December 2007 (EST)

:::I think I prefer the template idea. I could create a new namespace like '''Humor:Article''' but is it really necessary? I believe a "joke" template could do the same. --[[User:Senso|Senso]] 12:04, 17 December 2007 (EST)

:::This would be nice. I liked the old [[elephant]] article with all the humor and stuff, and it would fit perfectly in a flavored version of this wiki. --[[User:Penguinofhonor|Penguinofhonor]] 15:16, 15 December 2007 (EST)

::::The new [[Carp]] article ought to be fodder for that sort of page. --[[User:Alfador|Alfador]] 11:47, 17 December 2007 (EST)

Hmm, seems this page got assigned a fate worse than death - de-linkification :( . Might take up that tounge-in-cheek idea though, maybe as a humourous version of the featured article or something.  Do I just write it in my user page? --[[User:Frostedfire|Frostedfire]] 09:33, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

Wow, this thread made me lol

-:That's been mentioned elsewhere as an acceptable way to do humor pages. It also deters any whining or over-fixing by others as it's considered your page. It's a shame that no new humor articles have turned up in a long time. I always found them to be hilarious! --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 21:53, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
