To-do list for Misplaced Pages:Department of Fun:

  • I'm trying to find the person who said "Millard Fillmore ate a rutabaga and badger muffaletta", it was in a discussion about deleting funny word but I cannot spot the original discussion... Pedant 03:21, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
It's on User:Pedant and Talk:Inherently funny word#homunculus. Ronbo76 21:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Smiley You're welcome! Aha! it was Deltabeignet! WODUP 02:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Update 2020... Just for clarity, let it be hereby known that Deltabeignet's Millard Fillmore post was archived in December of 2016 to this location, where it is found not under the subsection "homunculus," but instead under the subsection "sock." Cellodont (talk) 15:33, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
  • I would like to see more people using the template Youshouldbe or signed to category Egocentric Wikipedians , what can I do? I'd be satisfied with such thing done. — E&M 15:44, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  • I think we need to set up more voluntary associations, like one for Wikipedians who are interesting in being representatives to the other projects run by Misplaced Pages, click here for a prototype. Laleena 12:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Some concepts for development:
    • AfD – Articles for Dilution
    • BLP – Biographies of Living Penguins
    • Don't Inflate the Blowhards
    • Meatups for Sockpuppets
    TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 18:16, 5 March 2010 (UTC) (Addition 13:04, 1 April 2010 (UTC) — TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK))
I have created the WikiProject Articles for dilution. RealSanix (talk) 21:19, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
  • A template would be cool. A template that you could leave on a user talk page before your sig that said something to the effect of "the Misplaced Pages Department of Fun has been here." (Obviously more creative, I just can't think of anything right now). That way if I left a message with someone in the name of fun I could tag it with that template too. You know, so they know who's responsible for spreading the fun. Any takers for this fun assignment?A mcmurray 20:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I think a template for humorous related articles would be a better idea. Ronbo76 22:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Not sureI don't know if most users here are interested in contributing to humor related articles, but sure why not. IvoShandor 06:34, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
plus Added I've created a Department of Fun template to use on humorous related articles, review it. {{Department_of_Fun}} E&M 01:56, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Easily mistakened for WikProject tags. Kayau David Copperfield MOBY DICK the great gatsby 06:48, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
  • I am currently applying for a Wikia decicated for pages just like the above. When I get it I will send a link here.Darkside2000 (talk) 09:40, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
ω Awaiting When you get it, can you apply for a Wikia for Feather and Bone: The Crow Chronicles? I would, but I'm not completely sure how it works.Pumagirl7 21:20, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
  • We need to finish the Misplaced Pages movies, as documented in the "Movies" section in the page. We haven't finished #3, and we're starting #4 D: Thekillerpenguin (talk) 03:41, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 Done The third Misplaced Pages movie has been completed, so all of our focus can be on the fourth. Brambleberry 20:51, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Do you think that we should have flag icons for the WikiFauna? It would be quite interesting, and it would help me out with the battles in the Misplaced Pages movies that have the WikiPumas. Brambleberry 19:44, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Yes. Whoop whoop pull up 16:55, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
Well, in that case, we probably need someone who can make them. All I've got is MS Paint, which I doubt would work. Brambleberry 22:40, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
  • More WikiFauna! Daemon64 (talk) 18:20, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
  • We need to have a complete census of all WikiFaunas. Anyone up to this task? Cheers, CompassOwl (talk to me!) 18:01, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Some people like having arguments, whether they do them respectfully or not, its good to get your opinion out. The Department of Fun should have a page designed for debating, maybe like Misplaced Pages:Department of Fun/Debate Page or something similar

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 (me?) 14:21, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

 Done I added the link near the bottom of the page under Wikiactivities. --​-Keagen J. Cole ​🐾 (talk) 15:11, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
  • What happened to the Misplaced Pages Movies? The sixth one is abruptly left unfinished on a cliffhanger, I also seem to see that editors feature themselves as major protagonists can I do that too? MEisSCAMMERHello! 22:10, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
  • I'm working on the seventh Misplaced Pages movie! Anyone who wants to contribute scenes can do so here. Minkai (talk to me)(see where I screwed up) 23:33, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
I'll see how I can help Julie Minkai Wikiwow:)
  • I am hungry, please point me to the nearest McDonalds pls. thanks LilBigBoat (talk) 02:06, 3 August 2023 (UTC)lilbigboat

 Done Taco Bell starve. SAMBOT2000xp (talk) 14:55, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

  • I may have found a secret somewhere on Misplaced Pages. Need more Wikipedians to uncover Secret Pages. - Master of Hedgehogs 12:37, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Songs, poems and other literary fun

While Meta:Hotel Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages-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 Misplaced Pages at Misplaced Pages:Poems about Misplaced Pages.
