Hey so I've found this article called Babel:Lolcat which apparently is a featured article. However I haven't found any proof that this is a featured article; it isn't linked on any article apart from a few userpages (which is weird for a featured article), the revision history shows that only one user contributed to it during all this time, and there doesn't seem any entry in VFH for this article. Plus in the other Uncyclopedia they pretty much removed its status as "featured" saying that it was never featured in the first place. Should we do something about this? πππDaniPine3 (talk)πππ 20:29, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Babel:1337 also has the featured template, but that one ain't even protected... πππDaniPine3 (talk)πππ 20:32, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Babel:Igpay Atinlay also has the same thing, and this one is protected... πππDaniPine3 (talk)πππ 20:46, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- okay so searching upon this issue apparently the reason why it's got the featured template is because it's a reskin of the Main Page -which means they pretty much copy-pasted the code and then called it a day-, and apparently the featured template was once in the Uncyclopedia Main Page... which made me think to myself, "hold on, was the Main Page itself featured?" And apparently, it was! Uncyclopedians decided to feature their own Main Page on 2008. If that's not self-referential, I don't know what it is... πππDaniPine3 (talk)πππ 22:28, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Fixed. Or something like that. There wasn't a whole lot to fix, considering the fact that those three weren't actually in the feature system. 02:15, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
