Durriesberg

2025-09-05T11:48:29Z

Eipadmin:

'''Durriesberg''' is an independent principality located wherever [[eip]] officially resides. Its territorial boundaries are therefore non-fixed and may shift at any time, but sovereignty is considered continuous. [[Image:Durriesberg_CoA.png|right|thumb|alt:The Durriesberg coat of arms|The Durriesberg coat of arms.]]

== Governance ==
=== Government ===
Durriesberg is formally a monarchy controlled by a High Council. In practice, the Council is largely ceremonial, and actual authority rests with [[eip]], who serves as monarch. The prevailing constitutional interpretation is that whatever eip decrees immediately becomes law, regardless of Council votes or precedent.

The monarchs are bound by honour and integrity to pay attention to any matters brought to them by the Council. Technically speaking, the Council and the monarchs balance each other, despite the absolute authority of the monarchs.

=== Interpretation of co-monarchy ===
According to traditional monarchical systems, there should only be one monarch regnant. However, Durriesberg gives not a single fuck, and power passes between the co-monarchs as the situation demands it.

=== Gender roles ===
Durriesberg also does not give a fuck about traditional gender norms, specifically in the context of traditional interpretations of title/role gender bases. All members of the Council regardless of gender shall be styled as Lord High (Master optional), not to reinforce assumptive masculine power but in respect of the fact they will be lord and master over their domains and responsibilities.

== Notable events ==
* The signing of the '''First Charter of Durriesberg''' established the nation’s legal foundation. According to the Charter, if the principality proclaims ownership of a property, landmark, or region and the claim is not challenged, then ownership is considered legal and binding.
* Through this doctrine, Durriesberg has claimed and officially owns several notable sites, including:
** [[wp:Himeji Castle|Himeji Castle]] in Japan
** The Reject Shop in Cooma
** A fish and chip shop in Jindabyne
** [[wp:Curzon Hall|Curzon Hall]] in Marsfield
** A small but growing portfolio of other properties and historic landmarks
* No external nation-state has yet formally contested these claims, and thus ownership is considered recognized under Durriesberg law.

== Significance ==
Durriesberg represents the embodiment of portable sovereignty: a nation without fixed borders, grounded instead in the presence and authority of its monarch. Its system of governance is both flexible and absolute, operating on the principle that the state exists wherever eip is, and that legitimacy is conferred because eip said so and nobody questions eip.

== Notable people ==
* eip - monarch
* eip's wife - co-monarch
* [[eip mini]] - heir apparent, also High Priestess of the state religion
* [[eip micro]] - second in line for the throne, also High Priest of the state religion

* Lord High Executioner
* Lord High Master and Duke of Eem (see also: [[wp:Deez nuts]])

* Lord High Inquisitor (officially retired)

Destiny (cat)

2025-09-05T07:17:15Z

Eipadmin:

Destiny is a boisterous [[wp:domestic cat]] of no specific breed who would probably explode if he could not go outside and explore for a long period of time. [[File:Dez_scar.webp|thumb|right|alt=Destiny with a scar on his nose|Destiny with a mostly-healed scar on his nose.]]

== Physical characteristics ==
Destiny's body is primarily covered in black fur, except for a small patch near his groin that is solid white. Destiny also has stray white hairs at roughly the midpoints of his front legs.

Destiny's body has no other unusual or particularly notable physical characteristics. Being an indoor/outdoor cat, he has a high level of general physical fitness. He would be considered 'larger than average' in terms of physique/build.

== Personality and behaviour ==
Destiny enjoys both being in the company of his pack, and striking out alone to patrol and explore the surrounding world. Based on data from Destiny's GPS collar, he rarely travels more than 300 metres from home.

Destiny regularly participates in family activities, such as bedtime story time for [[eip mini]] and family playtime in the playroom. Destiny has learned the sound of eip mini's bedroom door in specific and will wake up from wherever he is in the house to come participate in storytime. During playtime, Destiny will sit as close to one of the adults as possible despite the stuffed toys constantly being pegged around, and often hitting him.

He is forgiving towards [[eip mini]] and [[eip micro]], as he seems to understand they are young and stupid and should be given leeway accordingly. He is equally loving towards eip and eip's wife, and will often lie stretched across eip's chest and shoulder and purr loud enough to rattle windows while receiving gentle butt smacks. These are, inexplicably, his favourite form of attention.

Destiny has developed a close bond with eip mini and often stays in her room after bedtime story time. Once he deems that she is sufficiently close to sleep or asleep, he will silently get up on her bed and curl up near her feet. In this way, Destiny is actually the most reliable indicator that eip mini is seriously attempting to sleep.

Destiny, like many domesticated cats, has learned that humans have a very limited capacity for conversation in the cat native language. He has however adapted to suit and responds to various cat-like sounds by humans, especially eip and eip's wife. He can be summoned by a kind of purr/meow mix referred to as a 'chirp', which is unusual for cats. This is emblematic of the close personal relationship he has with his family.

== Early life ==
Destiny was born in an apartment to a very confused human caretaker who was assured she had purchased two male cats. Due to his birth in an apartment, and the human caretaker's lack of planning due to incorrect information, a spare litter tray was not available for the kittens so Destiny was trained to use drains as toilets. He is now technically litter trained, but prefers to use drains or the outdoors where either are available. This is mildly gross, but at least bathroom floors are easily washable.

=== Adoption ===
eip and eip's wife (who, at the time, was engaged to eip and not married) were going to take a trip to Melbourne to celebrate their engagement. However, COVID happened. eip and eip's wife decided instead to use the funds for that trip to have a staycation-style celebration at a ritzy hotel, co-located with an apartment tower, in their local area instead.

On the last night of their stay there, the toilet in their room decided not to function. They decided, instead of calling the front desk, to go down there and politely ask for a plunger. This is because they are both chronically anxious and people-pleasing and would rather not bother housekeeping despite it being housekeeping's literal job.

Destiny's then-current human custodian had Destiny down at the front of the shared lobby. She was reportedly trying to offload him to another human, who said no. eip and eip's wife remarked about the woman 'carrying a hat' (notable because it was currently evening), but as she got closer, it became evident to eip that it was in fact a cat. eip asked to hold and pat the cat, and the request was granted. eip and eip's wife fawned over the kitten, which led the woman to offer for them to keep him. eip and eip's wife laughed, thinking the woman was making a joke, but she informed them she was in fact serious. She also informed them of the circumstances outlined above, and made clear that she did not have the resources to keep all of the kittens.

eip's wife indicated she would be going back to the room to use the toilet. by the time she left the toilet, eip had returned with the kitten.

== Name ==
Destiny's name was chosen in respect of the multitude of seemingly random factors that had to align for eip and eip's wife to adopt him:
# eip and eip's wife had to have planned, and saved for, a trip interstate
# Said trip had to be cancelled, and funds still available
# A hotel staycation had to be booked in a specific date range (that being, when the original custodian was seeking to offload the kittens)
# The toilet had to be out of commission on the last night of said staycation, leading eip and eip's wife to go to the lobby
# The original custodian had to be in the lobby at that time, trying to offload Destiny specifically

The massive and unlikely odds of all these factors aligning at the same time led eip and eip's wife to believe that "it must have been ''Destiny''" that brought them all together, and he was so named.

== Notable events ==
* Destiny frequently attempts to escape outside after he has been brought in for the night. On one occasion, he escaped outside while a storm was rolling in. Based on his normal behaviour, he was likely at the local park when it hit. The storm hit incredibly hard, incredibly fast, and Destiny wasn't present. eip stood on the balcony calling for him through the heavy rain and loud thunder. He eventually came sprinting home, where eip met him at the door. He was soaked and a bit shell shocked, and clung to eip for about half an hour after receiving a gentle towelling and cuddles. This was a notable event that established trust and support.
* Destiny once informed eip and eip's wife that [[Kismet (cat)|Kismet]] was stuck in a tree. He did this by hanging around the outdoor patio area at dinnertime, despite being offered food and coaxed inside. He escaped again, but instead of jetting off to explore, he again sat at the edge of the outdoor patio area - essentially 'pointing' to the tree that Kismet was stuck in. It took eip and eip's wife some time to realise that Destiny was helping, instead of being an obstinate little shit.
* Destiny has been known to alert eip and eip's wife to problems he believes are outside of his scope or capabilities - most recently, eip micro was crying in another room and Destiny got eip's attention then attempted to 'lead' eip to the room that eip micro was in.
* eip's wife was significantly unwell during her pregnancy with eip mini, in part due to issues unrelated to the actual pregnancy. When Destiny noticed eip's wife was unwell, he would often sit a short distance away from her for hours at a time, preferring to keep her company instead of going outside to explore even though the external doors were open, and despite his extreme enjoyment of being outside.

Kismet (cat)

2025-09-05T07:17:06Z

Eipadmin:

Kismet is a [[wp:Ragdoll]] cat, specifically a seal point, with a body covered in soft white fur and blue-grey tips on his ears, face, legs, and tail. His appearance is strikingly regal, but this belies a personality that is notably skittish and somewhat dim. [[File:Kiz_on_washing.png|thumb|right|alt=Kismet sleeping on a pile of washing|Kismet, in a rare moment of composure.]]

== Physical characteristics ==
Kismet’s coat is typical of a seal point ragdoll: long, soft fur, white across most of the body, with darker blue-grey points. His eyes are a vivid blue, large and round, and contribute to an impression of majesty — at least until he attempts to perform any task requiring intelligence. He is lighter and less physically robust than [[Destiny (cat)|Destiny]], but carries himself as though he were an emperor among peasants.

== Personality and behaviour ==
Kismet is affectionate but skittish. He often seeks out attention and will happily accept pats and brushing, but will spook easily at sudden noises, movements, or the approach of [[eip mini]] and [[eip micro]]. He tends to avoid prolonged contact with the children, preferring the calmer company of eip and eip’s wife.

He is, in many respects, cute but stupid. He will stare at a wall for long periods, chase dust motes as though they are prey, and has been known to forget how doors work. Despite this, he sits and poses with an air of regality that photographs far better than his behaviour would suggest.

== Name ==
It was thought unfair for [[Destiny (cat)|Destiny]] to be named after such a grand concept, and Kismet to have a 'typical cat name' like Bubbles, Mr Cheese or Steve. Kismet means ''fate'' in Arabic but still sounds plausibly like a cat name, and he was so named.

== Notable events ==
* On one occasion, Kismet ran headfirst into a closed glass door at full speed. He was unharmed but visibly confused, and the incident reinforced his reputation as a cat of limited intellect.
* Kismet once became stuck in a tree, requiring outside assistance to retrieve him. Destiny notably helped alert the family to this situation by behaving unusually near the patio, essentially pointing to Kismet’s plight.

== Relationship with family ==
Kismet maintains a cautious relationship with [[eip mini]] and [[eip micro]], generally keeping his distance but occasionally tolerating brief pats when in a relaxed state. He is more comfortable with eip and eip’s wife, to whom he shows greater affection and trust. Although he is the more nervous of the two household cats, his striking looks ensure he remains an object of admiration, if not always respect.

Kismet is a [[wp:Ragdoll]] cat, specifically a seal point, with a body covered in soft white fur and blue-grey tips on his ears, face, legs, and tail. His appearance is strikingly regal, but this belies a personality that is notably skittish and somewhat dim. [[File:Kiz_on_washing.png|thumb|right|alt=Kismet sleeping on a pile of washing|Kismet, in a rare moment of composure.]]

== Physical characteristics ==
Kismet’s coat is typical of a seal point ragdoll: long, soft fur, white across most of the body, with darker blue-grey points. His eyes are a vivid blue, large and round, and contribute to an impression of majesty — at least until he attempts to perform any task requiring intelligence. He is lighter and less physically robust than [[Destiny (cat)|Destiny]], but carries himself as though he were an emperor among peasants.

== Personality and behaviour ==
Kismet is affectionate but skittish. He often seeks out attention and will happily accept pats and brushing, but will spook easily at sudden noises, movements, or the approach of [[eip mini]] and [[eip micro]]. He tends to avoid prolonged contact with the children, preferring the calmer company of eip and eip’s wife.

He is, in many respects, cute but stupid. He will stare at a wall for long periods, chase dust motes as though they are prey, and has been known to forget how doors work. Despite this, he sits and poses with an air of regality that photographs far better than his behaviour would suggest.

== Notable events ==
* On one occasion, Kismet ran headfirst into a closed glass door at full speed. He was unharmed but visibly confused, and the incident reinforced his reputation as a cat of limited intellect.
* Kismet once became stuck in a tree, requiring outside assistance to retrieve him. [[Destiny (cat)|Destiny]] notably helped alert the family to this situation by behaving unusually near the patio, essentially pointing to Kismet’s plight.

== Relationship with family ==
Kismet maintains a cautious relationship with [[eip mini]] and [[eip micro]], generally keeping his distance but occasionally tolerating brief pats when in a relaxed state. He is more comfortable with eip and eip’s wife, to whom he shows greater affection and trust. Although he is the more nervous of the two household cats, his striking looks ensure he remains an object of admiration, if not always respect.

Destiny (cat)

2025-09-04T12:50:13Z

Eipadmin:

Destiny is a boisterous [[wp:domestic cat]] of no specific breed who would probably explode if he could not go outside and explore for a long period of time. [[File:Dez_scar.webp|thumb|right|alt=Destiny with a scar on his nose|Destiny with a mostly-healed scar on his nose.]]

== Physical characteristics ==
Destiny's body is mostly covered in black fur, except for a small patch near his groin that is solid white. Destiny also has stray white hairs at roughly the midpoints of his front legs.

Destiny's body has no other unusual or particularly notable physical characteristics. Being an indoor/outdoor cat, he has a high level of general physical fitness. He would be considered 'larger than average' in terms of physique/build.

== Personality and behaviour ==
Destiny enjoys both being in the company of his pack, and striking out alone to patrol and explore the surrounding world. Based on data from Destiny's GPS collar, he rarely travels more than 300 metres from home.

Destiny regularly participates in family activities, such as bedtime story time for [[eip mini]] and family playtime in the playroom. Destiny has learned the sound of eip mini's bedroom door in specific and will wake up from wherever he is in the house to come participate in storytime. During playtime, Destiny will sit as close to one of the adults as possible despite the stuffed toys constantly being pegged around, and often hitting him.

He is forgiving towards [[eip mini]] and [[eip micro]], as he seems to understand they are young and stupid and should be given leeway accordingly. He is equally loving towards eip and eip's wife, and will often lie stretched across eip's chest and shoulder and purr loud enough to rattle windows while receiving gentle butt smacks. These are, inexplicably, his favourite form of attention.

Destiny has developed a close bond with eip mini and often stays in her room after bedtime story time. Once he deems that she is sufficiently close to sleep or asleep, he will silently get up on her bed and curl up near her feet. In this way, Destiny is actually the most reliable indicator that eip mini is seriously attempting to sleep.

Destiny, like many domesticated cats, has learned that humans have a very limited capacity for conversation in the cat native language. He has however adapted to suit and responds to various cat-like sounds by humans, especially eip and eip's wife. He can be summoned by a kind of purr/meow mix referred to as a 'chirp', which is unusual for cats. This is emblematic of the close personal relationship he has with his family.

== Early life ==
Destiny was born in an apartment to a very confused human caretaker who was assured she had purchased two male cats. Due to his birth in an apartment, and the human caretaker's lack of planning due to incorrect information, a spare litter tray was not available for the kittens so Destiny was trained to use drains as toilets. He is now technically litter trained, but prefers to use drains or the outdoors where either are available. This is mildly gross, but at least bathroom floors are easily washable.

=== Adoption ===
eip and eip's wife (who, at the time, was engaged to eip and not married) were going to take a trip to Melbourne to celebrate their engagement. However, COVID happened. eip and eip's wife decided instead to use the funds for that trip to have a staycation-style celebration at a ritzy hotel, co-located with an apartment tower, in their local area instead.

On the last night of their stay there, the toilet in their room decided not to function. They decided, instead of calling the front desk, to go down there and politely ask for a plunger. This is because they are both chronically anxious and people-pleasing and would rather not bother housekeeping despite it being housekeeping's literal job.

Destiny's then-current human custodian had Destiny down at the front of the shared lobby. She was reportedly trying to offload him to another human, who said no. eip and eip's wife remarked about the woman 'carrying a hat' (notable because it was currently evening), but as she got closer, it became evident to eip that it was in fact a cat. eip asked to hold and pat the cat, and the request was granted. eip and eip's wife fawned over the kitten, which led the woman to offer for them to keep him. eip and eip's wife laughed, thinking the woman was making a joke, but she informed them she was in fact serious. She also informed them of the circumstances outlined above, and made clear that she did not have the resources to keep all of the kittens.

eip's wife indicated she would be going back to the room to use the toilet. by the time she left the toilet, eip had returned with the kitten.

== Name ==
Destiny's name was chosen in respect of the multitude of seemingly random factors that had to align for eip and eip's wife to adopt him:
# eip and eip's wife had to have planned, and saved for, a trip interstate
# Said trip had to be cancelled, and funds still available
# A hotel staycation had to be booked in a specific date range (that being, when the original custodian was seeking to offload the kittens)
# The toilet had to be out of commission on the last night of said staycation, leading eip and eip's wife to go to the lobby
# The original custodian had to be in the lobby at that time, trying to offload Destiny specifically

The massive and unlikely odds of all these factors aligning at the same time led eip and eip's wife to believe that "it must have been ''Destiny''" that brought them all together, and he was so named.

== Notable events ==
* Destiny frequently attempts to escape outside after he has been brought in for the night. On one occasion, he escaped outside while a storm was rolling in. Based on his normal behaviour, he was likely at the local park when it hit. The storm hit incredibly hard, incredibly fast, and Destiny wasn't present. eip stood on the balcony calling for him through the heavy rain and loud thunder. He eventually came sprinting home, where eip met him at the door. He was soaked and a bit shell shocked, and clung to eip for about half an hour after receiving a gentle towelling and cuddles. This was a notable event that established trust and support.
* Destiny once informed eip and eip's wife that [[Kismet (cat)|Kismet]] was stuck in a tree. He did this by hanging around the outdoor patio area at dinnertime, despite being offered food and coaxed inside. He escaped again, but instead of jetting off to explore, he again sat at the edge of the outdoor patio area - essentially 'pointing' to the tree that Kismet was stuck in. It took eip and eip's wife some time to realise that Destiny was helping, instead of being an obstinate little shit.
* Destiny has been known to alert eip and eip's wife to problems he believes are outside of his scope or capabilities - most recently, eip micro was crying in another room and Destiny got eip's attention then attempted to 'lead' eip to the room that eip micro was in.
* eip's wife was significantly unwell during her pregnancy with eip mini, in part due to issues unrelated to the actual pregnancy. When Destiny noticed eip's wife was unwell, he would often sit a short distance away from her for hours at a time, preferring to keep her company instead of going outside to explore even though the external doors were open, and despite his extreme enjoyment of being outside.

Lowest common denominator of stupidity

'''"Lowest common denominator of stupidity"''' is a phrase used to describe rules, decisions, or cultural products shaped not by the average participant, but by the single most clueless, reckless, or uncooperative person involved. Instead of rewarding competence, this approach ensures that everyone suffers equally to accommodate the weakest link.

== Definition ==
The lowest common denominator of stupidity occurs when systems are designed for the worst-case user, audience, or participant. It does not mean safety nets or accessibility, but rather the reduction of standards, features, or freedoms in order to neutralize one person’s idiocy.

== Examples ==
* '''Classroom discipline''': Punishing the entire class because one student threw a pencil, spoke out of turn, or set fire to a desk.
* '''Corporate software design''': Removing advanced features because "someone might misuse them."
* '''Tech support rules''': Forcing everyone to reset their password every 30 days, not because it improves security, but because somebody once wrote "1234" on a sticky note.
* '''Community moderation''': Adding 400 new rules to a forum after a single person posted something stupid.
* '''Consumer products''': Bags of peanuts with warning labels stating ''May contain peanuts''

== In technology ==
Tech companies frequently make decisions at the lowest common denominator of stupidity:
* Operating systems hide powerful tools behind layers of warnings because one user deleted System32.
* Social media platforms remove features because a vocal minority used them badly.
* Devices come with ten-step disclaimers ("Do not insert into body") because somebody inevitably did.

== Problems ==
# It punishes everyone for the actions of a few.
# It discourages competence, since standards are lowered to match incompetence.
# It creates a race to the bottom, where the worst behavior sets the ceiling for everyone else.
# It often fails anyway, since the same idiot will find new ways to break things.

== Cultural commentary ==
Critics argue that lowest common denominator design creates bland, infantilized products and communities. Instead of empowering people, it assumes users are helpless children who must be protected from themselves at all costs. Defenders argue that society must safeguard against the worst instincts of humanity, but detractors counter that this quickly becomes a [[dumpster fire]] of restrictions and disclaimers.

''Project:Talk page'' describes the purpose and misuse of discussion spaces attached to every article. In theory, talk pages exist so editors can coordinate improvements. In practice, they serve as places to complain, nitpick, and rehearse arguments that nobody will ever read.

== Purpose ==
Talk pages are intended for:
* Discussing how to improve articles.
* Requesting sources, clarification, or expansions.
* Reaching [[Project:Consensus|consensus]] on disputed edits.

Talk pages are not intended, but will be used for:
* Soapboxing about your personal opinions.
* Writing essays longer than the article itself.
* Dropping memes instead of arguments (although everyone does this anyway).

== Common behaviors ==
* '''Drive-by comments''': Someone leaves a single sentence, never to return.
* '''Endless debates''': Two editors lock horns over a comma placement for six weeks.
* '''Talk page as article''': A user fills the talk page with the content they wish was in the article.
* '''Dead silence''': You write a long, thoughtful post. No one responds. Ever.

== Formatting ==
* Sign comments with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. This will automatically add your name, timestamp, and a mark of shame.
* Indent replies with colons:
<nowiki>
: First reply
:: Second reply
::: Third reply
</nowiki>
* Eventually you will run out of screen width. At this point, the debate must end or move sideways into madness.

== Problems ==
# Nobody reads the archives, so the same argument restarts every six months.
# Personal attacks are "discouraged," but always happen.
# Some editors confuse "no response" with "agreement."
# The loudest person usually "wins," regardless of accuracy.

== Examples ==
* Whether [[This is fine]] belongs under "memes" or "philosophy."
* Arguing over whether to categorize [[Dumpster fire]] under "Metaphors" or "Trash."
* The eternal fight about British vs American spelling.

== Etiquette ==
* Be civil, even if you are seething.
* Stay on topic, unless you are bored.
* Assume everyone else is wrong, but phrase it politely.
* Remember that sarcasm is not technically a violation of civility.

== See also ==
* [[Project:Consensus]]

* [[Help:Undo]]
* [[Flaming piece of garbage]]

''Project:Consensus'' is the grand illusion that this wiki makes decisions by agreement. In reality, consensus usually means "whoever shouted the loudest on the talk page," or "whoever reverted the article the most times until everyone else gave up."

== Definition ==
Consensus is supposedly the shared agreement of editors after polite discussion. In practice it often looks like:
* Two people arguing endlessly while everyone else quietly watches.
* One determined editor deciding they are "the community."
* A complete lack of participation, which magically transforms silence into agreement.

== How it is reached ==
* '''Discussion''': Ideally, editors discuss proposed changes on talk pages. In reality, they post walls of text nobody reads.
* '''Voting''': While technically "not a vote," discussions often devolve into people writing "Support" or "Oppose" with no reasoning.
* '''Edit wars''': The time-honored tradition of fighting through reverts until exhaustion sets in.
* '''Administrator fiat''': When all else fails, eip takes precedence and tells everyone else to fuck off.

== Consensus in practice ==
* If you want something changed: write a paragraph and wait six months.
* If you want nothing changed: say "per consensus" and walk away.
* If nobody shows up: congratulations, you have unanimous support.
* If too many people show up: the conversation will spiral until it quietly dies, leaving everything as it was.

== Examples ==
* Changing the stub template text from "This article is a stub" to "This article is a stub, but who cares?" required fourteen talk page posts, two reverts, and one person rage-quitting.
* Deciding whether [[Dumpster fire]] should be categorized under "Metaphors" or "Trash" took three weeks and solved nothing.
* Every spelling dispute ever.

== Etiquette ==
* Assume good faith, even when the other person is clearly trolling.
* Try to be civil, but remember that sarcasm is technically not against the rules.
* Never cite "consensus" without a link, unless you want to start the whole fight again.

Help:Templates

2025-08-28T00:51:39Z

Eipadmin:

''Help:Templates'' exists to explain why your page suddenly exploded into an error message that says "template loop detected." Templates are little bits of reusable wiki code that let you drop in boxes, warnings, or sarcastic notices without retyping them every time. They are also the reason you will be awake at 3 a.m. wondering why your wiki now looks like a [[dumpster fire]].

== What are templates? ==
Templates are pages in the '''Template:''' namespace that you call with curly braces. Example:
<nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki>

This replaces your innocent-looking text with a giant colored box announcing that your article is incomplete, stupid, or both.

== How to use them ==
* To call a template: <nowiki>{{TemplateName}}</nowiki>
* To pass a parameter: <nowiki>{{TemplateName|parameter=value}}</nowiki>
* To break the page completely: forget the closing braces.

== Examples ==
* <nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki> → produces a stub box that nobody will ever expand.
* <nowiki>{{Sarcastic-stub}}</nowiki> → produces a stub box that openly mocks you.
* <nowiki>{{Ambox|type=notice|text=This is a box}}</nowiki> → produces a box which will either be useful or an eyesore depending on your CSS.

== Escaping templates ==
If you ever want to show literal braces without calling a template, wrap them in <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki> tags:
<nowiki><nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki></nowiki> → <nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki>

== Common disasters ==
# Infinite loops: a template that calls itself. Congratulations, you broke the wiki.
# Parameter hell: <nowiki>{{Template|a=1|b=2|c=3|d=4}}</nowiki>, and then forgetting what any of those mean.
# Copying code from Wikipedia that relies on 15 other templates you didn’t import.
# Thinking you’ll “just make a small change” and ending up in [[Flaming piece of garbage]] territory.

== Best practices ==
* Keep them simple. Every extra line is one more opportunity for chaos.
* Document what parameters do, or don’t, and watch the next editor cry.
* Test your template in a sandbox before unleashing it on a live article. Or don’t, and give future readers a fun surprise.

Dumpster fire

2025-08-28T00:50:50Z

Eipadmin:

'''"Dumpster fire"''' is a phrase from internet slang that describes something so disastrously bad that it transcends ordinary failure and becomes almost majestic in its collapse. The imagery is literal: a garbage container burning uncontrollably, spewing smoke, attracting gawkers, and smelling awful. In online usage, it refers to projects, events, or media that are catastrophically mismanaged or fundamentally broken.

== Origin ==
The term was first documented in American English in the early 2000s, gaining traction in journalism and sports commentary. By the mid-2010s it had become the go-to metaphor for political meltdowns, corporate scandals, and TV shows that had lost the plot.

== Usage ==
Calling something a dumpster fire signals:
* It was always garbage, and now it is also literally on fire.
* There is no salvaging it, but everyone keeps staring anyway.
* The failure has become so obvious that it is almost entertaining.

== In Media ==
The phrase is often applied to:
* Failed reboots of beloved franchises. Example: ''[[Disney Jr.'s Ariel (2024 TV series)]]'', described by some critics as both a [[Flaming piece of garbage]] and a dumpster fire at the same time.
* Online communities imploding under their own rules.
* Corporate projects with too many managers and no plan.
* Sports teams that lose so consistently that fans chant “burn it down” unironically.

== Cultural Impact ==
“Dumpster fire” has become meme shorthand for unavoidable collapse. Entire news cycles have been headlined with the term, usually with stock photos of flaming trash bins. It is often paired with reaction GIFs of people sipping drinks while chaos unfolds.
=== Ironic use ===
In meme culture, the phrase has been turned back on itself with ironic twists. Instead of treating dumpster fires as pure disasters, some posts frame them as if they are sources of strength or beauty. One common example is the motivational parody line:
:''“The strongest metal is forged in the fires of a dumpster.”''

This ironic usage emphasizes resilience in absurdity - the idea that enduring or participating in a dumpster fire somehow makes one stronger, sharper, or more entertaining. It functions as both coping mechanism and satire, allowing people to laugh at the chaos while pretending to claim wisdom from it.

== Related phrases ==
* '''Trainwreck''': A disaster you can’t look away from.
* '''Hot mess''': A failure that is still vaguely endearing.
* '''Flaming piece of garbage''': Similar, but more specific to media criticism.
* '''This is fine''': The ironic cousin, where the dumpster fire is politely ignored.

Welcome to ''Help:Formatting''. This is the part where you learn that wikitext was designed in the early 2000s by someone who thought angle brackets and too many apostrophes were intuitive. Spoiler: they were not.

== Text styles ==
* Italic: <nowiki>''italics''</nowiki> → ''italics''
* Bold: <nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki> → '''bold'''
* Bold italics: <nowiki>'''''bold italics'''''</nowiki> → '''''bold italics'''''
* Strikethrough: <nowiki><s>crossed out</s></nowiki> → <s>crossed out</s>

== Headings ==
* Level 2 heading: <nowiki>== Heading ==</nowiki>
* Level 3 heading: <nowiki>=== Subheading ===</nowiki>
* Level 4 heading: <nowiki>==== Tiny heading ====</nowiki>

More equals signs = smaller heading. At some point it becomes unreadable, but nobody will stop you.

== Lists ==
* Bulleted lists use asterisks:
<nowiki>
* Item 1
* Item 2
** Sub-item
</nowiki>

* Numbered lists use hashes:
<nowiki>
# First
# Second
## Second point one
</nowiki>

== Links ==
* Internal: <nowiki>[[Page name]]</nowiki> → [[Page name]]
* With label: <nowiki>[[Page name|custom text]]</nowiki> → [[Page name|custom text]]
* External: <nowiki>[http://example.com Example site]</nowiki> → [http://example.com Example site]

== Files ==
* Insert a file: <nowiki>[[File:Example.png|thumb|caption]]</nowiki>
* You will never get the sizing right on the first try.

== Tables ==
Tables in wikitext are a cruel joke:
<nowiki>
{| class="wikitable"
! Header 1 !! Header 2
|-
| Cell A1 || Cell A2
|-
| Cell B1 || Cell B2
|}
</nowiki>

Result:

{| class="wikitable"
! Header 1 !! Header 2
|-
| Cell A1 || Cell A2
|-
| Cell B1 || Cell B2
|}

== Common pitfalls ==
# Forgetting which side the brackets go on.
# Mixing up italics with bold.
# Copy-pasting raw HTML because you gave up.
# Thinking VisualEditor will save you (it won’t).

''Help:Undo'' is here to explain how to revert mistakes, disasters, and “bold edits” that turned into [[Flaming piece of garbage|flaming garbage]]. Whether you typo’d a word or detonated the entire layout, MediaWiki has your back. Sort of.

== The Undo Link ==
* Every edit in a page’s history has a handy '''undo''' link next to it.
* Clicking it will open the edit window with the offending changes automatically reversed.
* At this point you should either:
** hit '''Save page''' immediately and hope nobody notices, or
** write an edit summary admitting nothing and blaming “formatting issues.”

== Syntax ==
There is no fancy markup for undoing, because undoing is the markup. The process looks like this:
# Go to the page history.
# Find the mistake (usually yours).
# Click '''undo'''.
# Save the page.
# Pretend you were never there.

== When Undo Fails ==
Undo will not work if:
* The edit conflicts with subsequent edits, especially when the same line has been touched.
* The wiki gods decide you deserve to suffer.
* You are trying to erase evidence of your own incompetence, which always leaves a digital trail.

In these cases you will have to use the nuclear option: a full revert to a previous revision. This is done by opening an old version, hitting '''edit''', and saving it as the new one. It is messy, but so are you.

== Etiquette ==
* Avoid undo wars. Nothing looks dumber than two people repeatedly slapping the undo button on each other’s work.
* Leave an edit summary explaining why you undid something. Even “lol no” is better than nothing.
* If someone undoes your undo, maybe take a hint.

Eipadmin:

Welcome to ''Help:Editing''. If you are here, it probably means you clicked the wrong link, or you genuinely believe you are about to improve this wiki. Either way, congratulations on taking the plunge.

== The Basics ==
* To edit a page, click the little '''[edit]''' link next to a section header. This will open up the intimidating wall of wikitext that someone else spent hours formatting.
* Change whatever you like, then hit '''Save page'''. Your edits will go live instantly, because this is not Wikipedia and nobody cares enough to patrol recent changes.
* If you break something, just pretend it was like that when you found it.

== Formatting ==
* Italics use two apostrophes: <nowiki>''italics''</nowiki>.
* Bold uses three: <nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki>.
* Bold italics use five, which feels like overkill: <nowiki>'''''bold italics'''''</nowiki>.
* Headings use equal signs: <nowiki>== Like this ==</nowiki>. More equals signs = smaller heading. Nobody ever remembers this rule correctly.

== Links ==
* Internal links go in double square brackets: <nowiki>[[Page name]]</nowiki>.
* External links go in single square brackets: <nowiki>[http://example.com example text]</nowiki>.
* Red links are broken. You can either fix them by creating the page, or leave them as monuments to your laziness.

== Advanced Editing ==
* Templates look like this: <nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki>. They will either add a helpful little box or break the entire page layout. There is no in-between.
* Categories use <nowiki>[[Category:Example]]</nowiki>. This adds the page to a category that may or may not exist.
* Tables are written in wikitext, which was invented by a sadist. If you actually want a nice table, use HTML instead.

== Common Mistakes ==
# Forgetting to sign your comments on talk pages. Use <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. Or don’t, and embrace the mystery.
# Adding giant images that break the layout. Always use <nowiki>[[File:Example.png|thumb|caption]]</nowiki>.
# Previewing your edits only after you save them. This is known as “live testing.”

* Change whatever you like, then hit '''Save page'''. Your edits will go live instantly, because this is not Wikipedia and nobody cares enough to patrol recent changes.
* If you break something, just pretend it was like that when you found it.

== Formatting ==
* Italics use two apostrophes: ''italics''.
* Bold uses three: '''bold'''.
* Bold italics use five, which feels like overkill: '''''bold italics'''''.
* Headings use equal signs: `== Like this ==`. More equals signs = smaller heading. Nobody ever remembers this rule correctly.

== Links ==
* Internal links go in double square brackets: `[[Page name]]`.
* External links go in single square brackets: `[http://example.com example text]`.
* Red links are broken. You can either fix them by creating the page, or leave them as monuments to your laziness.

== Advanced Editing ==
* Templates look like this: `{{Stub}}`. They will either add a helpful little box or break the entire page layout. There is no in-between.
* Categories use `[[Category:Example]]`. This adds the page to a category that may or may not exist.
* Tables are written in wikitext, which was invented by a sadist. If you actually want a nice table, use HTML instead.

== Common Mistakes ==
# Forgetting to sign your comments on talk pages. Use `[[User:Eipadmin|Eipadmin]] ([[User talk:Eipadmin|talk]]) 00:35, 28 August 2025 (UTC)`. Or don’t, and embrace the mystery.
# Adding giant images that break the layout. Always use `[[File:Example.png|thumb|caption]]`.
# Previewing your edits only after you save them. This is known as “live testing.”
