This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Kevyn (talk | contribs) at 03:19, 21 October 2004 (→The Next Page Title: I could withdraw my vote). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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


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)

This topic has moved again, this is its new page: Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense/Funny vandalism

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

Seperating 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)


The Next Page Title

This is a poll to help choose the next BJAODN pagename. When the next page happens, remove the title in question, as this should be a rolling RfC, rather then just a static affair that gets renewed every so often.

As a side note, please try to avoid titles that do not contain the phrase "Bad jokes and [other] deleted nonsense". The abbreviation "BJAODN" can be problematic, as it is not immediately clear from the title what the page is supposed to be.

Names marked in italics are possibly problematic, and may need fixing before being used. Names that have been marked with strikethrough have been used.

  3. Somebody set us up the bad jokes and other deleted nonsense! Kinitawowi 14:56, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)
    • It is "Somebody set up us the bad jokes and other deleted nonsense", and it is the obvious choice for the next title. - Mike Rosoft 16:19, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  4. Since I liked it, I used it for page 14. Luc "Somethingorother" French 23:11, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • Luc, I like it too, but using it right now breaks the series-pattern we have going of "relatives of BJAODN'" Would you strongly object if I changed it to the next title in the relatives series, "Son of bad jokes and other deleted nonsense", and then we use this one after we've exhausted the relatives series? There seems to be enough support for the relatives series to continue it. Kevyn 16:38, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
      • Yes, I would strongly object. This got 4 votes; Relatives only got 3. As to "series-pattern", remember, a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds; and series-pattern as a justification for changing a page title probably qualifies as "foolish consistency". Luc "Somethingorother" French 19:13, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
        • Of course, if I withdrew my vote from this one for the time being, it would have equal votes. I'd like to ask what others think? Kevyn 03:19, 21 Oct 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)

Rules for naming BJAODN pages

What should the rules for naming BJAODN pages be? The general consensus around here seems to be that the name must contain the phrase "bad jokes and other deleted nonsense". While it's nice to have a trademark, I don't think every page need follow this convention. We already have two pages that don't follow it (More bad jokes than you can shake a stick at and its successor). Also, every BJAODN page identifies itself as such at the top, so it isn't that important if somebody doesn't immediately realize what it is from the title. Eric119 16:30, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I don't think there really need to be any hard-set rules — this page is just for fun. Let's just continue to use whatever seems to be popular on ↑#The Next Page Title↑? • Benc • 19:16, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
