{{humor}}[edit]

Hi. You have drastically rewritten this, and while I am fine with the changes, I was curious why, as the text does not really suit the name of the template any more. Anonymous DissidentTalk 00:25, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • It is not really drastic. I reworded it into saying that it is not what it is not. Or, if you prefer: In a set S, the complement of the complement of a subset is the subset itself.
  • By that, I mean: Anything that is not a policy, a guideline, an article, an essay, or anything of that sort, is found in the main namespace in meta and is not deleted, is humour. - Unless you can produce a counter-example.
  • Therefore the name of the template matches the content.
  • The reason for the change is to resolve the following paradox, which is similar to the w:liar paradox, that if you say that something is humourous, then its humour is lost. And you would be contradicting yourself. Best is to say nothing; but if something needs to be said, let us only say what it is not. Thanks. :-) Hillgentleman 05:51, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Translation[edit]

Currently the English version just uses "{{NAMESPACE}}" in its text; however, this does not seem to be translatable to any language with grammatical gender. One would need to manually specify the inflectional endings with a switch unless I'm missing something? ~~~~
