Word association games deleted
Most of the word association games have been deleted without being tagged. Please see Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2010 October 25#Wikipedia:Sandbox/Word Association/Ultra Game and make any comments you wish there. Thryduulf (talk) 13:36, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
- Argh. Those games have been in existence for a long time and have been continually active. In the first place they should have been under DoF subpages, not /Sandbox... And another thing.. these pages fill a niche, they are a part of the Dept. of Fun, and the Dept. of Fun has a place on Wikipedia.. and I value the fact that Wikipedia has something for everybody.. and that people enjoy Wikipedia enough to have fun on it.. and create interesting link association activities that help them explore our wonderful site. These Word association games specifically are more for the readers anyway, not editors, so we shouldn't be complaining. They help readers find interesting articles to read, it's entertainment, part of the fun of Wikipedia.. Sure, let's be complete poopers and take that away from them. Editing Wikipedia is recreation.. It's meant to be fun.. Let's not get so presumptuous to think that has nothing to do with building an encyclopedia. Personally, I'm happy that we have such bright people as to want to play games on an encyclopedia rather than mindless shootemups! </end rant> -- Ϫ 01:54, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- I am in favor of moving the word association games here. Just wondering, how will people know they have been moved, though? — Michael J 03:10, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
- Well, because the old name will still redirect? -- Ϫ 13:43, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Wikipedia Movies
Hi, I was asking, who selects the maker of the new Wikipedia Movie?--103.229.234.178 (talk) 19:47, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
- Can somebody please give me a link to the movies? Thanks! IHeartMath|Jason13579 (talk) 12:00, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
A new newsletter directory is out!
A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool
Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:23, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
April Fools Day RFC
There is currently an ongoing RFC about keeping April Fools day activities from getting out-of-hand, with a particular focus on the so-called Great April Fools Day Edit War. If anyone has any thoughts or comments, they would be greatly appreciated. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 03:40, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
Joining the DoF
Can someone enlighten me on how to join the DoF? I have lots of things I would like to help with. Thanks! Littlecat456 (talk) 10:42, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- Littlecat456, We don't really have much of a member list. I.e. I participate and i'm not in any list besides the Great April Fools Day Edit War Participant one. moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 13:48, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Should not WP:APRIL and WP:AFMP be explicit adopted by WP:FUN? I don't see explicit association, since the objectives are the same and the lines that separate WP:APRIL movement seems to be fit within our department.
TLDR: Title says it all. Eduemoni↑talk↓ 22:12, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- I've turned this into a Wikipedia:Request for Comment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.173.1 (talk) 23:08, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- I've removed the RfC tag. There's already a very large RfC taking place at WP:FOOLS that addresses this and other questions. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 03:01, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
