Wikipedia:Silly Things

In today's world, Wikipedia:Silly Things has been a relevant topic that has captured the attention of society in general. With the advancement of technology and globalization, Wikipedia:Silly Things has become a topic of discussion and debate in various areas, from politics to science, including culture and entertainment. As Wikipedia:Silly Things continues to impact our lives in unexpected ways, it is crucial to explore its implications and consequences in contemporary society. In this article, we will take a closer look at the phenomenon of Wikipedia:Silly Things and its influence on different aspects of our daily lives.

It is not a great secret that, over the years, Wikipedia has seen many 'colorful' moments of fun. Also, no great secret is that Wikipedia has seen many forms of vandalism ( it's true, :-) could result in :-( ). Because Wikipedia lets people freely edit sources, occasionally, an edit falls into both categories: it is vandalism, needing to be reverted, but it is also creative, and some Wikipedians find it entertaining. For many years, the bits of vandalism and/or fun that struck people's fancy were kept here on a page called "Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense" (BJAODN). In fact, it was one of the oldest pages on Wikipedia, having been created on January 26, 2001. Here is the original explanation of the page:

We need a page where bad jokes and other deleted nonsense can rest in peace. So, here it is!

However, in 2007, consensus (sort of) shifted against keeping most BJAODN on Wikipedia (see Wikipedia talk:Silly Things), and it came to be viewed by many as encouraging vandalism. Things are no longer added to this group of pages on Wikipedia itself (except on rare occasions), but have been moved to another site, and only a few highlights are maintained below. (Please go to an external wiki to add to BJAODN. Thank you very much.) For all those who thought BJAODN was some sort of alien mating call or Swedish swear word, please read the things above.
