<foks> whaa?
<Pine> Hi. :) I have a question
<Pine> I've found two articles with different titles that look like they're
talking about the same thing. How do I go about proposing a merge?
<foks> Ummm
<foks> I don't really know, actually!
<Pine> You're an admin, you're supposed to know these things.
<foks> I would ask at ANI, probably, since you will need an admin
<Pine> Aren't YOU an admin?
<closedmouth> {{mergefrom}} {mergeto}}
* Pine takes foks' mop and hands it to closedmouth
<foks> yes
<foks> :D
<closedmouth> i don't need two, but thanks anyway
* Pine proposes merging foks into closedmouth
<closedmouth> ಠ_ಠ
<foks> closedmuzzle
<Pine> It will be closedfoksmouth.

<Mathonius> the useful tagger Hoo made is covered by something
<hoo> that input conversion script, that's over it is from me as well...
*MF-Warburg doesn't use the tagger. Hah!
<omtsh> Hurrah
<omtsh> MF-Warburg to the rescue
<Mathonius> can the amazing Hoo fix it? found out in our next episode! to be
continued...
<omtsh> Welcome to #cvn-sw drama, with your host, Mathonius!
<hoo> mhm, I think it's a problem with that input conversion script
<Mathonius> Marvel Comics represents... Hoo Man!
<omtsh> XD
<hoo> pity it's mine, so I can't blame another one...
<omtsh> He's a lean, mean, script fixing machine!

<omtsh> He's on a mission! But can he fix the script in time, before MF-Warburg
can manually tag the page?
<omtsh> Find out after the break!
<Mathonius> whahaha :D

<+Ironholds> [redacted]: the cabal sent me. Wassup?
<+MartijnH> did someone order the cabal?
<+MartijnH> is there anyone not in the cabal these days?
<+SigmaWP> tommorris: No
[later...]
<+Earwig> I have no idea what just happened.
<+Earwig> shouldn't cabal members be informed?
<+tommorris> The cabal is pleased.
<+Ironholds> Earwig: the cabal knows. THE CABAL KNOWS ALL.
<+tommorris> There is no cabal.
<+tommorris> Over and out.
<+tommorris> Earwig: [redacted] is a blocked user who was blocked for various things,
and in the process alleged that all the admins were secretly engaged in cabal behaviour.
<+tommorris> We just wanted to show him that this was not true.
<+Earwig> ah.
<+WilliamH_UK> seems legit
<+WilliamH_UK> i'm entirely convinced
<+tommorris> anyway, on behalf of the cabal that doesn't exist, I'd like to
apologise for newbies seeking actual help. our bizarre situationist stunts help
keep Wikipedia awesome. Ta-ra!
<+MartijnH> this entire conversation consisted solely of weather balloons.
Nothing suspicious here. Keep calm and carry on.

(this day, news reports in the US were full of stories about the
US Supreme Court finding the "Obamacare" healthcare plan constitutional)
<varnent> hmm..let me ponder that - do we have any other "policies" posted on
the wm2012 site?
<Pharos> can we have a cupcake policy?
<Fluffernutter> cupcakes for all!
<Dmcdevit> Stroopwafel policy! :-)
<varnent> free cupcakes for all?
<Pharos> Item one on the Wikimania Bill of Rights
<Fluffernutter> socialized cupcakes!
<varnent> and Jimbo came down from the mountaintop and said "let my people
have cupcakes"
<Pharos> I hope ArbCom finds this constitutional
