Template talk:Humor

message: The text of this template was not demonstrating a sense of humor so I lightened it up a bit.  Now it only scares you into thinking that humor is dangerous if the person leaving the template intentionally includes a 'blockable' flag.  +sj + 18:18, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Would it be possible to be able to embed the  template as an option in this one?  That would be funny.--otherlleft (talk) 12:02, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestion 

message: I think that by the time you're done reading this, you're less likely to find the humorous article funny. In my experience, jokes that start with some version of, "get ready everybody, what you're about to hear a humorous statement," are not very funny.
One thing we might do is just move this template to the bottom of articles. Perhaps we could note that in the main template page and move this to the bottom of articles in a systematic way. Or am I the only person who this really bothers? —mako๛ 04:17, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: It's good that this change was reverted and has stayed that way, since half the point of this template is that the tagged page should not be nominated for deletion.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  00:05, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

message: Wbm1058, I'm confused by this edit. Why is a  test needed in the "main" parameter? Shouldn't that parameter only be evaluated in article space? -- John of Reading (talk) 07:22, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I'm a little confused too. I patrol for pages in the talk namespace that transclude  and found that the pages trancluding  16 pages were also transcluding errors. My patch stopped that from happening. As to why that's necessary, I think it has to do with how  works. That in turn uses Module:Category handler, which is something of a black box to me as I'm not super fluent in Lua. – wbm1058 (talk) 12:02, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Namespace check 

message: Anyone clear on why this isn't working at Template:Puke?  I'm not seeing any code in there that would make it not categorize in the template namespace (though if  were put in the Template:Puke/doc, the category handler's blacklist might interfere with it, since it blacklists subpages. But even that sounds iffy; it should still work when transcluded into Template:Puke.  Regardless,  doesn't have a /doc page; it uses .  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  00:03, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

 to the categorization code worked. However, this still suggests that it's not going to do anything in various other namespaces, when it looks like it  default to :Category:Wikipedia humor except in mainspace and talk namespaces. But maybe I just need more coffee or something.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  00:16, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree that it should default to adding transcluded items to :Category:Wikipedia humor. I created a test page at User:Daask/sandbox/Humor test. Does anyone disagree or is this just a technical problem? Daask (talk) 20:39, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Categorization failure on templates 

message: I can definitely see a situation in which someone thinks this template applies to the template page itself. To prevent any confusion, there should be a {Not Humor} tag at the top of the page. InterGraphenic (talk) 09:45, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: As a technical matter, we can't add a note at the top of the page.  We can only add content underneath the displayed template. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:13, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
