Lame

Today's page sucks. That is all. --Ekashp 04:37, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your constructive criticism. Is there a particular aspect of it that "sucks," in particular?--<<>> 13:35, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Sure - just about all of it. The idea, while good, is better placed on Fox News, or perhaps UnNews than the main page. While I see where the idea was going, I believe it flopped. The sudden change in site design, while comical in certain circumstances, annoys me more than provides for humor. Perhaps its just my natural disdain for anything related to the idiots at Fox, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, BBC, and every other "mass news media" station, but this Main page does not work for me. Keep in mind that not only am I just one user, but there are a lot of viewers who are not registered / could not be bothered to find the Talk page. --Ekashp 20:25, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Woah, actually well-thought-out criticism. Thank you (this time, no sarcasm).--<<>> 20:28, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I was tired when I posted the first time, as I'd just gotten off of 12 hours of work(ugh) and was denied a portion of my daily dose of laughs. It seemed like the sucking was obvious at the time... :-/ --Ekashp 20:31, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I cannot find the links to Special:Mypage, Special:Recentchanges, or Special:Search on the Main page. --Starnestommy (Talk • Contribs • FFS • WP) 18:30, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

If you click the link that says, "Main" on today's page, it will take you to a version of the main page that has all of those things.--<<>> 19:57, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I think you mean "home". --Starnestommy (Talk • Contribs • FFS • WP) 19:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I liked it. The fact that unregistered users wouldn't know what the site is about would be the only reason I would criticize a reskin. I hate FOX news too, but the idea was making fun of FOX news. --RAHB 20:20, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

April Fool's Day

I was somewhat disappointed that, as a joke, there was no redirect from this main page to the Wikipedia main page... It would've been funny... 76.16.90.240 21:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Maybe next year, the entire page should just redirect to wikipedia, and everybody's like WTF for the day, half of them not realizing it's April Fool's Day. That would be kind of funny, and is probably what you just said but I was too stupid to realize. -- RAHB 04:25, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Big shrooms

Anybody else see the shrooms in the exciting notice as giant pixelated images? It is kind of funny, but a little annoying -- RAHB 16:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll bet you'll think this is madness. Well, guess what? THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! or in the words of the guy who was at the other end of that quote, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!" *falls into abyss* --RAHB 18:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

The abyss falls into you! Shouldn't they be removed for the april fool's article?--64.230.120.109 02:28, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

It looks as though they have been -RAHB 17:14, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

It should be, "THIS IS JENNNNNGGGGAAAAAAAAAAA!" Megamanfanx7 14:02, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

No need to upgrade

Why does the Uncyclopedia need to close FOR TWO DAYS? The server is fine, and it won't be fare if people won't even be able to view the Uncyclopedia. What the hell? Cheddar Cheesia 19:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

It's a MediaWiki upgrade, not a server upgrade. Apparently we'll be getting New Features^tm. —rc (t) 19:53, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but two days with no Uncyclopedia? That's too long. Also, how could we get new features? It'll still look the same, like always. Cheddar Cheesia 20:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

It's only three hours each day, I think. Here's the Wikia announcement. —rc (t) 20:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

It was worth it, you should see the admins on IRC...I've never seen such cheery smiles on their little faces. It's like their birthdays and Christmas all came at once, bless 'em :) RabbiTechno 17:57, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

:D I don't think anyone will be getting banned for a whi... Wait what's that? someone vandalising? *gets banstick* —Braydie 18:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Heh heh. Nevermind. I slept through the downtime. xD Cheddar Cheesia 19:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

The edit buttons have changed!

And I really don't like the change. I think it should be changed back to the old one.

Disregard that. I actually LIKE the new edit buttons! But could the edit buttons be moved to the END of a title instead of the BEGINNING???????? Just a thought. Trar (talk|contribs|grueslayer)

Should be fixed sometime. —Braydie 22:06, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I like the ones that have been restored. In my opinion, the last new ones were oversized, and just didn't make pages look right. The original ones are just fine. Cheddar Cheesia 19:20, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

reskin

i think some one should reskin the front page on april 1st for april fools day just a suggestion from a random n00b Ninja star 01:03, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, remember last year when Uncyclopedia was bought out by Apple and became iHumor? I see the real news, but why is there no re-skin this year? --154.20.217.225 03:13, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm no fool

Did anyone notice april 1st "did you knows" being actial fact instead of nomal misfacts . Well this sort of bugs usually happens at this year .

• Richardson j 03:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Facts ?! In my Uncyclopedia ?! NO WAI!! 85.0.245.134 08:14, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Why?

Why wasn't Fisher Price featured instead of a spork from Wikipedia? --Emmzee 12:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh noes! it's turned into Wikipedia! You killed Kenny! You Bastard!

zomg

wtfbbq

good work, dudes

What's up with the Finnish wiki?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but how come the "fi" interwiki link from the English uncyclopedia still links to the abandoned Finnish Hikipedia? For comparison: old Hikipedia, new Hikipedia. Some other uncyclopedia versions also still link to the old version... Portuguese links to the new one. Esn 13:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Uncyclopedia sucks

Seriously, get a life

My feelings are so hurt. You've shattered all that is meaning in my life. I might as well go die, knowing of your ruthless disapproval of our activities here, and having realized that my life has been one big waste. --RAHB 16:01, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Disambig

Should there be a disambig link at the top to Unicyclopedia?

No, it should be the other way around. Wikipedia needs a disambiguation at the top of their main page, for those looking for the truth(Uncyclopedia) --Ekashp

Audit

Attention all Uncyclopedia users and administrators

This user account has been created by a member of the MediaWiki foundation. I find this project to be amusing. However, as you are most likely aware, all websites created with MediaWiki are subject to frequent vandalism and other undesired content. I am here to test your skills at combating these annoyances. Please do not be alarmed. Your instructions are as follows:

• Respond to this comment within the next 15 minutes to confirm that you are ready.
• I will "vandalise" random pages, so be ready. Your efforts will be timed by me and the results will be analyzed by the MediaWiki foundation. The results will be given to you when the analysis is complete.
• You must respond as you would to a real vandal. If you would warn him first, do so before blocking this account!
• Set the block time for this account to 24 hours. If you block this account for more than that time or without an expiration, you will have immediately failed your audit.

Please allow at three days for us to analyze your audit, but we will give you the results absolutely no later than in seven days. If you have a specific person or administrator that you want us to send the results to, please specify this in your reply to this message.

Remember that your wiki website has been picked randomly out of the most contributed to wiki sites on the web.
