| This is a WikiProject, an open group of Wikipedia editors. New participants are welcome; feel free to talk to us!
|
| Only pages tagged {{humor}}, policy and guideline pages tagged {{Humorantipolicy}}, or other namespaces geared toward Wikitainment, are in this project. For example: the article "Humor", the guideline "Please do not bite the newcomers", and the project "WikiProject Comedy" are NOT part of this project! |

The Department of Fun is dedicated to providing the Wikipedia community, both young and old editors, with humour to encourage them to stay at Wikipedia, indirectly improving the encyclopedia. Below, you can find links to fun pages or fun things to do, other Wikipedian Associations, and a list of members who help with the creation and upkeep of entertaining or fun pages.
Please, if you have ideas for activities or competitions, do NOT hesitate to post them to the discussion page or join the Department of Fun. And above all, enjoy yourself! No ifs, whats or buts. (To be clear 'if', 'what', or 'but' is not an exhaustive list; many other words of dissent that sound like body parts are not permitted. Thank you for your cooperation)
Categories for discussion
If there is any work that needs to be done please post a task and the Department of Fun will see that it is dealt with.
Add new tasks to the bottom of the To Do List, by "Editing" this section. Use an asterisk, followed by your Task Description.
Replies require a colon, not a small intestine. Template:Done not required, but encouraged. Sign with four tildes~~~~.
This section is NOT for general discussion.
Someone can state/edit in their opinion about something, being entertainment, history, hopefully not politics, etc. and someone can reply their argument back, and they can go at it. It'd be fun for the debaters, and fun for people observing, either a civil argument or a nonsense spiral. I just came up with this now. Le Panini (Talk tome?) 14:21, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

While Meta:Hotel Wikipedia is the official theme song, there's no reason not to make up your own songs. Since it has been recognized that the Wikiholic in particular needs lots of ways to create their own culture or at least encounter their own despair, we probably needs lots more songs on the Wikisong list. Don't worry! You don't have to write music, just rip off a tune everyone knows and change the lyrics, marking it TTTO for "to the tune of" the victimized song.
These songs can be sung in public, but, that may only compound your problem. Just humming a few bars of the song can remind people of the Wikipedia-themed lyrics and create yet more in-jokes that will further isolate you from non-Wikipedian human contact. Which we encourage.
There also exists (as of 20 March 2011) a poem and a soliloquy about Wikipedia at Wikipedia:Poems about Wikipedia.
