Template talk:Fun

Hmmm, thinkin' balloons.jpg might be a better image for this (or balloons2, I cut off the watermark and extra white space) - the goat is for the mainspace! human  17:51, 30 January 2008 (EST)
 * Thanks, Human, for de-uglifying the template. I chose the goat pic and color scheme mostly as placeholders, to tide things over until someone could improve it.  Which you did. ¡Muchas gracias!  -- 19:57, 30 January 2008 (EST)
 * You're quite welcome. It certainly needed an injection of, well, fun!  You've been on quite a roll with your seven-keystroke-saving templates, haven't you (u & f)? We could use one called "t" as well.  I'll let you guess what that would be for... human  20:10, 30 January 2008 (EST)
 * Uh... Template?  -- 00:12, 31 January 2008 (EST)
 * Nice guess... and very convoluted, of course. OK, I meant "talk" human  00:16, 31 January 2008 (EST)
 * Eh, I think that's way beyond my skill level. I actually "stole" template:u straight from Uncyclopedia, and making a funspace equivalent was quite easy.  All I do is steal code, I don't actually understand it.  Additionally, I think the template would be too complex to be practical.  It would have to be able to replace all these conventional links using fewer keystrokes than otherwise:
 * calculator → calculator
 * here → here
 * fun:calculator → fun:calculator
 * calculator → calculator
 * here → here

Hmmm, I could take a crack at that. We have articles on calculators? Wow. human  11:44, 31 January 2008 (EST)

Fun?
Some of the articles linked to are only mildly fun. (like the water one) DoggedamesP 15:40, 8 February 2008 (EST)

I want to make this so no parameters are required, using PAGENAME as a default, if it's the same as the fun article title. But I forget how. human  15:42, 8 February 2008 (EST)
 * I purposely didn't do that, because sometimes the related funspace article doesn't share the same name. I also wanted to leave open the possibility of linking to an unrelated funpage, just for kicks.  -- 17:40, 8 February 2008 (EST)
 * You do it conditionally, so the functionality is still there. But if the fun article has the same title and you don't want a different text for the link, all ya gotta do is type  . human  18:32, 8 February 2008 (EST)
 * I dun it, and altered the instructions accordingly. human  19:13, 8 February 2008 (EST)
 * I saw what you did and thanks! -- 21:03, 9 February 2008 (EST)
 * You're quite welcome. I like simple defaults + complexity if desired. human  22:21, 9 February 2008 (EST)
