The official symbol for Humor on Wikipedia

The Department of Fun is dedicated to providing the Wikipedia community, both young and old editors, with humour to encourage them to stay at Wikipedia, indirectly improving the encyclopedia. Below, you can find links to fun pages or fun things to do, other Wikipedian Associations, and a list of members who help with the creation and upkeep of entertaining or fun pages.

Please, if you have ideas for activities or competitions, do not hesitate to post them to the discussion page or join the Department of Fun. And above all, enjoy yourself! No whats or buts.

Contests

  • Wikipedia:Contests (article-writing and other kinds) are another fun thing to do, all of which encourage users to make contributions.
  • WikiCup, The WikiCup is a championship which takes place every year on Wikipedia. The cup is played and won by skill of editing, in which the purpose of the cup is to encourage mainspace editing and to make editing fun here on Wikipedia. Entry is available for any registered user; experience doesn't matter.
  • Last topic pool, a pool for guessing what the topic of the last article created on Wikipedia may be, and other pools.

Events

  • Wikipedia:The Great Wikipedia Dramaout – On July 18, 2009, Wikipedians were asked to voluntarily refrain from editing all non-article areas of Wikipedia for 5 days, and instead dedicate themselves to creating, cleaning up, and building articles. The Dramaout was a huge success and was held two more times in 2010 and one time in 2012.
  • Wikipedia:Martin Luther King Day of Service – On January 15, interested Wikipedians will work collectively on some of the thankless, but worthwhile maintenance tasks that have serious backlogs.
  • Community bulletin board – For more event postings

Songs, poems and other literary fun

While Meta:Hotel Wikipedia is the official theme song, there's no reason not to make up your own songs. Since it has been recognized that the Wikiholic in particular needs lots of ways to create their own culture or at least encounter their own despair, we probably needs lots more songs on the Wikisong list. Don't worry! You don't have to write music, just rip off a tune everyone knows and change the lyrics, marking it TTTO for "to the tune of" the victimized song.

These songs can be sung in public, but, that may only compound your problem. Just humming a few bars of the song can remind people of the Wikipedia-themed lyrics and create yet more in-jokes that will further isolate you from non-Wikipedian human contact. Which we encourage.

There also exists (as of 20 March 2011) a poem and a soliloquy about Wikipedia at Wikipedia:Poems about Wikipedia.
