Meta:Humour

This page contains material intended to be humorous. It should not be taken seriously or literally.

(English) This is an essay. It expresses the opinions and ideas of some Wikimedians but may not have wide support. This is not policy on Meta, but it may be a policy or guideline on other Wikimedia projects. Feel free to update this page as needed, or use the discussion page to propose major changes.

OFF TOPIC PAGES WILL BE DELETED. THIS IS NOT YOUR TEST WIKI.

Meta is not a repository of bad jokes, or humor. Material humour-challenged or likely to be humour-challenged, and all quotations, must be attributed to a reliable, humourous source. The threshold for inclusion in meta is laughability, not joke—that is, whether readers are able to laugh at that material added to meta and the material has already been laughed at by me, not whether we think it is humourous. Meta:Humour is one of meta-wiki's least known content policies; The others are Meta:inclusion policy and Meta:deletion policy. Jointly, these policies determine the type and quality of material that is acceptable in meta pages. They should not be interpreted in isolation from one another, and editors should familiarize themselves with all three. To discuss the humourity of particular sources, see the relevant discussions.
