The Next Page Title

Want to help choose the next outrageous title for BJAODN?

Go to Wikipedia:BJAODN:The Next Page Title.

This section has been moved to Wikipedia:BJAODN:The Next Page Title for article size reasons. -- AllyUnion (talk) 14:27, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

New page instructions...

I made a new page instructions page here: Wikipedia:Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense/New page instructions so that the next page title can be easily added using those links on that page. -- AllyUnion (talk) 06:06, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Can I edit this?

Hey, am I allowed to put my own edits into BJAODN?

  • Sounds like a questionable practice to me. Kevyn 16:13, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Only if you ask really nicely and give us muffins.

Big page

This page is getting big. Really big. Would it be a good idea to break it up into subpages based on the initial letter of the article from which a bad joke was deleted?

It certainly looks like it's as long as it ought to managably get!

btw, re the last line - Free will is wanted by 11 articles... oh no! What if we give it to them and they stage a revolt and take over the entire Wikipedia! {sorry, I couldn't resist...}

Thank you!

Thank you one and all.... I needed a good laugh tonight! luckymama58

OMG! I love these pages! They are amazing - few other things in the world are as hilariously, outrageously laugh-out-loud funny as this...I truly have big time stomach pains, about to literally roll on the floor laughing - and i haven't even finished the first page! I LOVE IT. Please continue to submit these articles - what undeniably top-notch wacky hilarity.--Chao 00:59, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Vandalizing for a laugh

I'd love to vandalize a page to make it as funny as possible but of course I DON'T do it (not important)== (from the village pump)

Copy the page, put a m : Category: Humor on it, and vandalize to your heart's content!!--Jondel 00:31, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Gingerbiskit

Could you please add Gingerbiskit or is it Ginger biskit? (try Both), Big Hard lads of chorley and Monkeys with guns to Bjaodn

From vfd

Template:VfD-BJODN

User:Sgeo/BJAODN

I added a link to one of my user subpages where I put in all current BJAODN pages. --Sgeo | Talk 02:18, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

Separating BJAODN content from BJAODN templates

What I want is seperation of the actual jokes from the templates, so the page most people would access would simply have the normal BJAODN templates, and have something like {{{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/raw}}. The actual jokes would be at the /raw subpage. This would be useful for something like User:Sgeo/BJAODN. --Sgeo | Talk 22:48, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC). Late addition: I created Template:subpage which could be used like: {{subpage|raw}} --Sgeo | Talk 22:48, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

First of all, your User:Sgeo/BJAODN idea is excellent. I've copied it to the Wikipedia namespace at Wikipedia:Bad jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense/Encyclopaedia BJAODNonica.
However, I don't think it's a good idea to differentiate between content and formatting templates here. It's an unnecessary creation of more work (see: m:Instruction creep) for a Wikipedia maintenance page of decidedly lesser importantance.
Really, it's no biggie if User:Sgeo/BJAODN has redundant headers and so forth. The BJAODN content isn't exactly elegant in the first place. :-) • Benc • 22:45, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Custom BJAODN

Would it be possible to host a page for BJAODN we made especially for the BJAODN page? KirbyMeister 16:34, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Fictional BJAODN

How about a page where we could put what we would think is funny, but was never added to an article.? --Sgeo | Talk 22:03, Sep 12, 2004 (UTC)

Waaay too much potential to explode into something truly huge. That's actually a good thing, but not for an encyclopedia. Take it to our sister project Wikibooks instead, please. • Benc • 22:27, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Our wiki, Uncyclopedia collects things like that. I recommend you post there, or with wikibooks, as suggested. --130.245.23.124 18:31, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

BJAODN on the comedy Wikicity

I think any future criteria for BJAODN should be transwikied to "The comedy Wikicity" rather than retain it on Wikipedia since Wikicities dosen't have as strict of a policy concerning article styles and content in the article. --SuperDude 19:29, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Announcement: Wikicomedy just had it first transwiki from Wikipedia: come check it out!. --SuperDude 19:49, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You know, previous discussions have shown that users prefer to keep the content on the Wikipedia. The Wikipedia should not be without any humor, games or what not... -- AllyUnion (talk) 11:29, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I agree. In fact, it's one thing to argue that something like Wikipedia:Chess championship shouldn't be on Wikipedia, but it's a whole 'nother matter to argue that content which originated on Wikipedia can just be transwikied elsewhere. The argument used ("Wikicities dosen't have as strict of a policy concerning article styles and content in the article") makes no sense either: neither does BJAODN, that's the point. OK, OK, in the particular case of ASCII cows, which never started on Wikipedia to begin with, we could transwiki (though nothing much seems to be gained from this either). But certainly not the main BJAODN pages. JRM · Talk 12:16, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)
Chess is fine, but this stuff really doesn't make any sense outside of the Wikipedia context. Things that were funny because they were briefly in a Wikipedia article are not necessarily funny in their own right. Please keep this content here. I don't think it adds any value to Wikicomedy. Angela. 05:48, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
It doesn't matter about Wikipedia's "policy concerning article styles and content in the article", as BJAODN by definition has been deleted from the article namespace. Copy stuff to the comedy Wikicity by all means, but keep it here and add new stuff here as well. the wub (talk) 12:51, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oh no! You Deleted Bad Jokes and Other Nonsense!

Why is Oh no! You Deleted Bad Jokes and Other Nonsense! a red link? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:34, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

That's because you pointed it into the article namespace. You have to add 'Wikipedia:' in front of it. -- AllyUnion (talk) 11:26, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Question

I can put anything I see funny on these pages right? Oh and I'm not going to put stuff that I wrote on, but if someone wants to see my warning box, it might be BJAODN quality. Rentastrawberry 05:04, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

You can put content from other Wikipedia pages which you consider funny. - Sikon 15:44, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Proposal: Global TOC

How about creating a global table of contents for BJAODN, with links to corresponding pages? Of course, there's an option to list all of them on one page, but this is very traffic-consuming. - Sikon 15:45, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Don't ever delete this!

This is the best Wikipedia page (of course the links contained on it are the most important, but you get my point). Don't ever delete this page! Matei Tache 6 July 2005 02:55 (UTC)

Votes for Transwiki

It seems some people feel this is inappropriate content for Wikipedia. Perhaps it would be more appropriate as a subpage of b:Jokebook? I don't mind doing the transwiki myself, and I'll tidy it all up in the process. Besides, we have content at Wikibooks which we'd like to put in there, and I feel it's inappropriate to put BJAODN from Wikibooks onto Wikipedia. - Aya 42 T C 17:11, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Calling for Votes for Transwiki (VfT). Choose one of Transwiki or Keep:

How to pronounce BJAODN

Is there a way to correctly pronounce BJAODN? I just say bj(like bzzzz)-ow-done. --pile0nadestalk | contribs 10:54, 22 July 2005 (UTC)bay[reply]

  • I must be hanging out with the wrong kind of people, seeing that the topic of BJAODN has never ever cropped up in my everyday conversation and I never saw a need to actually pronounce it :P In internal monologue (stuff like "oh, let's see if there's anything new on BJAODN"), I usually just spell out each letter -- Ferkelparade π 11:00, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really use it in conversation, just wondering how people say it :). --pile0nadestalk | contribs 12:06, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
In my head I hear Baja-Odj-en  ;) --Neo 14:11, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure where to add this, so I'll put it here and let someone else add it
