Pages that look like the thing they're about are pages with a specific gimmick to self-demonstrate their topic (WAAAAAOW just like muh heccin Uncyclopedia!). This page serves as a guide of what to and what not to do when editing pages to be self-demonstrative.
What NOT to do:[edit | edit source]
- Never make the page too hard to read or extremely ugly, exceptions are Schizophrenia, Pee and Poop
- Never make a new category exclusively to fit the article's gimmick (Example: making a new category called "Pages that look like the thing they're about fuggen jerdee" For the HTSM page) This is for the sake of better categorization.
- Never break the Manual of style to fit the article's gimmick.
- Do NOT import template code into the article.
- Never overdo the joke or else it wont be funny, this also goes for underdoing it (ex: adding "fuggen jerdee" one time into the HTSM page and adding the "Pages that look like the thing they're about" category.)
- Don't add a very niche joke into the article, nobody cares about that shit. (ex: adding "KAPOW" at the end of every sentence in the "Chudjak" Page because its an inside joke in the soycord you're in.)
If it'd warrant a separate "readable version" page, then that's a sign the gimmick is being forced too hard. We don't need articles split into two separate and likely very desynced versions because some nusoi overdid a gimmick that was already barely funny before it got overdone.
What to do:[edit | edit source]
- Keep the page readable, minimize usage of the joke to deliver it better.
- Add a joke that is funny and somewhat known in the general soysphere
- Use built-in template parameters to execute the joke
- Learn how to deliver a punchline
- Eat the bugs and be happy
