 * Maybe, but I am happy to say that I was able to create it based upon the suggestion of another editor.(this made me very happy) Your comment is funny, so you can take credit for the improvement to the humourosity. And since I am the humour editor of the Signpost, and an expert on the topic of humour, I can tell you that there is a possibility that you might be mistaken. AND most important of all: The number of comments that appear after the humour article is directly correlated to the pageviews. So you just 'upped' my readership - thank you.

Interestingly there is a language conversion feature built into MediaWiki, and English to Pig Latin is one of the options! The feature is mostly for languages such as Chinese that can be written in different scripts, but the Pig Latin option is useful for developers who might not speak those languages and need to test the feature. See T45547. Sadly I don't think the Pig Latin variant is enabled on the live Wikimedia sites. the wub "?!"  22:51, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Seriously? I'm not feeling so original right now. Can you post something amazing here in Pig Latin? How about the first sentence in the George Washington article? Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ and Merry Christmas 23:33, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

As a follow-on to this article, I found more info on this subject at Artistic language, and Constructed language (a bit too deep for me). One thing I really like about Wikipedia is always learning something new. Cheers! — JoeHebda • (talk) 02:29, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
