(all pages) → (page title) on wheels – Greetings, fellow Wikipedians. My name is William Onwheels. Ever since I was a young lad, I have been constantly ridiculed for my unusual name, especially when shortened to "Willy" (for obvious reasons). I could never go a day without someone saying something like "what are you, a jeep company?" I was downtrodden, dumbstruck, and depressed.
But when I discovered Wikipedia, a shining bastion of user-generated truth, I was determined to use it to achieve what I had always dreamed of: make "Onwheels" the most normal last name in the world. So, I began spreading my name around Wikipedia, and eventually began the master plan. I would make every page name end in "on wheels". After all, if every name ended in "on wheels", then nobody would bat an eye at mine! There were a few problems with that idea. First, there are a lot of pages. Second, my edits kept getting reverted, and those pesky admins kept banning me! I tried and tried, but there was no way to complete my mission. So, eventually, I gave up.
It's been years since that day. My life has changed a lot. I got married, had kids, adopted a snake, and finally got my degree. One day, I was browsing Twitter, looking for respite from, well, Twitter, when I noticed a certain account in my feed. Instantly, my mind snapped back to my greatest failure. I thought that maybe, with the time and experience I had accrued, I could finally achieve my dream. But as I am wiser now, I realize that to do it, I had to gain the favour of the community. So I ask you, dear Wikipedians, to support my vision. All it would take is six and a half million automated page moves. I know you all see me as some vandal, but I hope that with this request, I can redeem myself in the eyes of Wikipedia, the Internet, and the world. Thank you.
