So, what is the case with this BUTT POOP business? I'll tell you my opinion and make some suggestions to appease both sides of the debate. Personally, I wouldn't mind it being in mainspace, but I can see why others wouldn't want it there. Or at least in its current form. What if someone presses Random page and ends up at this page? (Unlikely you say? I concur, but I'm trying to make a point here.) That person would look at the page and think "WTF? What is this random crap?" Maybe then that person clicks on the VFD hyperlink. And maybe he'll think something like "Is this why this was kept? Wow, these people are retarded." Clearly not what we'd want to achieve with an article on this glorious site. But it's an in-joke, you say? Well, yes. But I think people should at least be able to understand why a limited group of regular users find it funny, whether or not they really care. So, what's the problem then? The problem, in my opinion, is that it's not presented in a funny way. Anyone not familiar with what goes on at VFD will just look at this completely oblivious of what is supposed to be funny. I suggest a couple of changes, most of them rather minor. First off, if it's supposed to be a template, use {{title}} so it says "Template:BUTT POOP!!!!", else it's just confusing for the reader. Next, add some introductory line mentioning its undeletability. For example "Here it is. The unbelievable, indescribable, but most of all, undeletable BUTT POOP template!" Also, don't link the fictional VFD vote as "VFD archive", but rather as "Why this thing is allowed to exist in the first place" or something. Some more stuff can be done to make it funnier to outsiders, like footnotes perhaps, but I'll leave that up to others to figure out.
Like any regular forum topic on Uncyclopedia, this one also requires voting. Feel free to add any subject you feel is relevant to this issue to be voted on.
Allow a version of BUTT POOP in mainspace that is altered so people not as familiar with VFD are at least able to understand the humour
comment I would suggest a link to a "HowTo:Save an article from deletion with no effort whatsoever" type article, rather an alternation of the current version. --Mn-z 06:18, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
It doesn't matter how we vote because Spang is already completely aware that some Uncyclopedians want this in mainspace and he thinks he is much smarter than us. Now, I'm off to play a gig with my band, who don't move my songs into userspace when they don't like them, except that one time that they did.

Acknowledgement that both Spang and Hyperbole are great users and we really don't need this drama so everybody get over themselves and realize that a) this is a humor wiki, where it is supposed to be humorous, b) it's only the Internet people, jeez, c) move it to userspace where in all honesty, it belongs, and finally d) that the rules in UN:R are equal and ought to be followed accordingly by everyone
And now, the end is near...And so I face the final curtain, ha ha ha...You cunt, I'm not a queer...I'll state my case, of which I'm certain...I've lived a life that's fool...And each and every highway...And more, much more than this...I did it my way...
Okay, sheesh. I became italic and moved it to mainspace. Spang has indicated that he's done talking about this page so I don't expect to hear anything else about this. Good night. --Pleb SYNDROMECUNmedicate(butt poop!!!!) 06:55, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
