Research About Humor

I object to the reversion of the change I just made ([1])! Isn't it true that material on the humorous pages would be useful for someone researching Wikipedia joke culture (or something like that)? --Siva 23:10, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the "...(unless the research is about Wikipedia itself)." Bit should be removed. Humour articles by their very nature are not at all subject to the rigourous sourcing and consensus-building process of other articlespace or wikipediaspace articles, and should not be used for research whatsoever.

Yes, but still, wouldn't it be useful for someone researching Wikipedia joke culture? --Siva 04:18, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, since there aen't that many humour articles in the first place, I don't think there is anything TO research. I agree with Starblind. --SuperLuigi 31 03:45, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

OMG

It's been a long, long time since I created this template, and this has gone a long, long way. :) --hello, i'm a member | talk to me! 02:24, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

And it's funny how it isn't humorous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.233.142.239 (talk) 15:44, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Image

The image of the cat (Image:Laff alert.svg) isn't very easy to distinguish at the small size it is in this template. I believe the Joke image (Image:Joke Alert.png) is better. Thoughts? Lara❤Love 04:04, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree -- penubag  (talk) 05:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

THAT WAS A CAT?!?!?!?!? 8-| Googolme* 15:13, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I prefered Image:Laff alert.svg :( -- lucasbfr ^talk 23:01, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Image:Joke Alert.png and Image:Ambox humor.svg aren't funny enough. I've replaced the picture with Image:Smile icon.png, and made the layout of the text simple and easy to read, as it should be. Hot or not? Cheers, Face 19:33, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh shit, the png image doesn't display correctly when the template is put in userspace. Reverted. - Face 19:40, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, at least the text layout was good, so I put that back. - Face 19:46, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I put in a more humorful image. +sj + 18:18, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced {{Humor}}?

Hello! Where should I place {{Humor}}? Wherever I place it, it says "Misplaced {{Humor}}". Please help. --Jeb andDinnerbone (talk) 12:01, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Jeb andDinnerbone! Where are you trying to place it where it's giving a misplaced warning? It should be doing that anywhere in article space, as that's not a place jokes should be being made. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 20:51, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I am putting it in an article space. But I want to make a fake article. How? Thanks! Jeb andDinnerbone (talk) 16:22, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

This template should not be used in article space, and you should not make a fake article. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 17:30, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
