"Wikipedia-approved parody of itself, featuring dry and tepid Aspie wit."

So take a look at the latest Wikimedia donation template. I propose we match them by cleaning out Template:Fundraiser, movin' it to the left, painting it beige, and installing a bar at the bottom that rotates randomly between sentences chosen from Uncyclopedia:Praise. That'll show 'em all!

Also: maybe we could do with one of these pages? --L 11:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

For, but only if I have complete personal control over the template. This way people don't change it and make it link to the "wrong" account. Heheheh Unsolicited conversation Extravagant beauty PEEING 22:05, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I've unprotected the template, so have at it. Once someone's knocked something up I'll put it on the main page. Also I'd love to see some ambitious individual parody Jimbo's give-us-money video... —rc (t) 15:31, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

So... do we put ourselves in there or just add donation messages? I don't know if we want it to be like the last one or not. Unsolicited conversation Extravagant beauty PEEING 19:38, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Usually we try to emulate en.wp pretty closely... but the problem is that I don't see where they're hiding their template code this time around. —rc (t) 05:38, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Is this it? --L 08:46, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

The template should link to goatse where it says "Help us spread our knowledge wide." I'm not messing with it, though, I just know I'll cause catastrophic failure. Plus I'm too lazy. But yeah, catastrophic failure. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 18:53, Oct 25

What about a "Hide this message" link like the WP one has? That way I can put it in the Sitenotice but it won't get too annoying. —rc (t) 22:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

The sitenotice should already have a "dismiss" link you can click to make it go away. I have to say though, the eyes in Jimbo's video are just begging to be parodied in some way. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 01:00, 26 Oct 2007

I accidentally clicked dismiss. Is there a way to un-dismiss it? – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 15:41 Oct 27, 2007

Can we put it on the main page now, while it's still relevant? --L 15:31, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

This whole discussion is an insulting farce. The page the template links to provides no way to actually give money to Uncyclomedia. You have bigger things to worry about; you just lost the $10 dollars every month I was willing to give. --Hans Johnson as in "keep ya hans off my" ^{(cover your eyes!)} 23:06, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
