2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Missionality[edit]

New Age bearing, perhaps. Not sure about missionality. Blue (pester) 05:51, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Are we really going to turn "missionality" into a serious criterion? Shall we just delete the whole "Fun:" namespace now? --Eira OMTG! The Goat be Praised. 01:34, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Esperanto has had a page since Dec '07, and is basically the same principle. Aboriginal Noise with 4 M's and a silent Q 02:05, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Sed Esperanto estas multe bona, kaj la nova mundlingvo. Volapük estas sole la stupida ideo de stupida pastro. Tiel, esperanto estas OK para la wikio, kaj Volapük estas elen. --Eira OMTG! The Goat be Praised. 09:14, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Missionality is already a serious criterion (why would we have a mission template if it wasn't?), but only in a very general sense. This article needn't be mission-tagged, though. Rescinding now. Blue (is useful) 04:59, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't really understand why this article was kept. Is there any point? Volapük may have been promoted as an international language ~100 years ago, but nowadays it seems people speak it just for fun.--Кřěĵ (ṫåɬк) 10:35, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Esperanto. Lojban. E-Prime. Volapük. Existing languages are probably on-mission. Languages created for a purpose are certainly on-mission. Sir ℱ℧ℤℤϒℂᗩℑᑭƠℑᗩℑƠ (talk/stalk) 15:45, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
