Unicode 🤣 redirect

The page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%F0%9F%A4%A3&redirect=no redirects to this one, LOL. All my Chrome browser displays is a square box, and it appears to be some 16 bit Unicode that my text editor displays as question marks. Firefox displays it as an emoji. Is that what it should be? Does this LOL page include whatever the redirect is meant to be? Shouldn't an image be added that is accessible to a wider variety of users? -84user (talk) 11:58, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, it appears that this is a bug in Chrome that will not be fixed, according to https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/81608267/emojis-do-not-show-up?hl=en . -84user (talk) 12:04, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Very outdated

Sources are all from the 2000s and doesn't properly cover uses like how "lol" is just a particle representing a casual tone and includes information that is no longer relevant. There's also too much pointless prescriptivism in here. This article doesn't cover modern usage of "lol" at all. useful ref Nixinova T C 06:29, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The picture of Richard Nixon has no reason to be here

Waste of space, offers nothing to the dicussion. If you absoluetly need to have a picture of someone laughing it should be a clinical type picture, not some random famous person. I think it's distracting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:444:C301:6BB0:0:0:0:EAD3 (talk) 21:30, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:19, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 7 July 2022

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at LOL. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
