Note: This topic has been unedited for 6562 days. It is considered archived - the discussion is over. Do not add to unless it really needs a response.

As is seen Here, there was a a majority reached for the Main Page/Beta edition of the new page. Wikipedia is set to change theirs early in March, so this gives us a good opportunity to beat them to the punch and then claim they stole the idea from us. I think we should put it up today, unless someone has a reasonable objection. ~Sir Rangeley GUN WotM UotM EGA +S (talk) 16:37, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

I agrees..... -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me) 16:47 25 February 2006 (UTC)

I'll second that. Or third it. Or whatever. --Spin 18:00, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Wait, no I won't. What about the Featured image? Nobody ever scrolls down that far. Can't it be switched for the word of the day? --Spin 18:05, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

No, the options that had that lost the poll. ~Sir Rangeley GUN WotM UotM EGA +S (talk) 00:55, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

The problem with that is that picture is bigger than WOTD. It seems the only place to put the POTD is down the page. --Chronarion 03:43, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

So when can we expect purgation guidelines for the anniversaries template? Before, it and the "In the News" template somewhat balanced each other out. --Giant Hogweed 05:48, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

We should wait until WP changes their main page. We're supposed to copy WP on things, but it's no use when they haven't changed their main page yet. I miss the old main page. --[[User:Nintendorulez|Nintendorulez | talk]] 12:40, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

However, now we can say they are copy our things. ~Sir Rangeley GUN WotM UotM EGA +S (talk) 23:19, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Great work guys love the idea of them stealing it from us--Da, Y?YY?YYY?:-:CUN³ NotM BLK |_LG⁸+::: 07:49, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

IRT the guy who said we are supposed to steal from wikipedia: We are a parody of wikipedia, and they say we steal ideas from them, therefore we steal ideas from them in advance and claim they stole the idea from us. It works, it is good, and it will provide some humour.Yuri von Juan 14:28, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Template:Sisterprojects/languages fixed up

I've fixed up Template:Sisterprojects/languages to better resemble Wikipedia's and added a new section. I also fixed up the awards template on the front page (the two yellows used clashed) --Maj Sir Insertwackynamehere CUN VFH VFP Bur. CMInsertwackynamehere | Talk | Rate 05:58, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm talking about this version of the Wikipedia main page in case you were wondering --Maj Sir Insertwackynamehere CUN VFH VFP Bur. CMInsertwackynamehere | Talk | Rate 05:59, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Featured Picture

Where the Featured Picture is, it isn't very featured... --User:OsirisX/sig 02:14, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Blame the people who voted for this design instead of one with the featured picture at the top. --Zyrac 13:20, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Blame wikipedia, more like it. Its what they do. ~Sir Rangeley GUN WotM UotM EGA +S (talk) 23:19, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

It seems that everything's gone wrong,

since Canada came along.

Blame Canada!

The image isnt that important anyway. Its the least wiki thing about uncyclopedia "generally" produced by one person. --Da, Y?YY?YYY?:-:CUN³ NotM BLK |_LG⁸+::: 07:49, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

You and your wiki spirit can go fuck yourselves. --Spin 22:07, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

"(We're) not even a real country anyway." ~ T. (talk) 19:26, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Can I quote you on that? shhhhhhhhh keep quiet 19:55, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Peruse the source, Luke. [1] ~ T. (talk) 20:03, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

yeah, yeah, blame us... screw us over in "The Day After Tomorrow" but we'll get our revenge! we will! MWUAHAHAHAHAHA! like, cool evil laugh, eh? but on topic: I like it. looks good. so, we thought of it a while ago and kept it under wraps riiiggghhtt? *wink wink nudge nudge*--Bilbobaggins 04:16, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia?

What happened to the primary goal of the site being to parody Wikipedia? If someone enters Uncyclopedia now, they are NOT going to realise that this is a make-fun-of-Wikipedia site, and could lose interest if they think "Eh, it's just another lame Wikicity". To my question: When Wikipedia changes their Main Page will we copy it? --Boy Toy bitch at me 20:29, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

This is the new Wikipedia design. Look familiar? --Zyrac 22:00, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

We're pre-empting them :) --Chronarion 20:17, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah one day someone will go to wikipedia and not know whats going on (if they visit uncyc) --Maj Sir Insertwackynamehere CUN VFH VFP Bur. CMInsertwackynamehere | Talk | Rate 03:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Bad Hack

I noticed on Wikipedia:MediaWiki:Monobook.js they are using a hack (very similar to the one I developed originally for, and that was later streamlined by Volte) to remove the header from their in-progress main page draft. Well, actually RC noticed that they'd removed the header, and asked me how we could do it. So he (much more simply) put #siteSub, #contentSub, h1.firstHeading { display: none!important; } into MediaWiki:Skin/Main_Page.css, and voila. Also, the main page needed an extra <br />. This is an FYI for the people who might understand it. You know who you are. --Splaka 04:38, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
