Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2023-08-31/Humour

We here at the Counter-Fun Unit would like to congratulate the Wikipedia community for choosing the correct option in the Barbenheimer caption discussion. While we dispute our characterization as the "fun police" — we're more of a paramilitary group — the outcome is a wonderful step towards our end goal: removing anything on Wikipedia that could be construed as funny, by anyone, ever.

This incredible progress is why we've decided to finally release our Dehumourification Plan. This 4442-page document outlines our vision for a Wikipedia devoid of all things comical. Some of our proposed solutions include:


 * Deletion of pages like Unusual articles, Lamest edit wars, Don't stuff beans up your nose – really, anything with a humor template at the start of it.
 * Deletion of pages listed on Unusual articles.
 * Deletion of pages on comedies.
 * Deletion of pages on monotremes. I mean, seriously? Mammals that lay eggs? Absurd.
 * Releasing an editor update to disallow edits that add or remove a funny number of characters, like 69, 420, 1,337, 1,984, 2,763, 24,601, and 58,008.
 * Filling In the news with an huge amount of tragedy – wait, they already do that?
 * The lipogrammish removal of voiceless velar plosives for want of their use in inherently funny words.
 * The deletion of the biggest circus on Wikipedia.

We sadly cannot reveal this document to all of you, since its sheer beauty would be too much for you to handle. However, we have sent it to the Foundation — I mean, the Foundation, and they have shown great interest in it. We expect the process will be completed by at most the year 281,474,976,712,644 AD.
