Forum:Help out Fnoodle

Forums: Index > Village Dump > Help out Fnoodle

I've finally found a good use for Fnoodle. He's been going around correcting typos for the past day or two, actually, although you probably haven't seen him in RC because of the bot flag. Anyway, here's an idea. I could set Fnoodle to generate links to articles. After all, that's how the average visitor gets around, by clicking. However, just because Fnoodle can put brackets around words, doesn't make the articles he's linking to interesting.

So help Fnoodle out here. Whore a few articles, either your favorites, your own, or something from Special:Randompage, and give him a keyword or two (what text should link to that article, in other words). I won't start him linkifying for a good while, because I'm probably only going to do it once, in one very long run, maybe at the end of the month, and that's it. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • formspring) 19:36 May 01, 2008

The list

Check out Special:Lonelypages as well!
Also: Don't use general keywords, such as "gay" or "liberal". Be more creative and specific, such as {{USERNAME}} for Fourth Wall. These are not tags or search keywords, these are words that would be used as linktext.

The discussion

Fnoodle is an awesome name. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • formspring) 19:36 May 01, 2008

Seriously. Way better than Fnoople or Fneequaax. Actually, that second one sounds kind of interesting. --THE 19:50, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Fnoodle is everything I hope to one day become. -OptyC Sucks! CUN19:53, 1 May

Might it be better to get it to just run through dead end pages and link anything that also appears in mostlinked or some other list? Maybe. Most of those keywords up there already have their own article which would make more sense to link to. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 21:16, 01 May 2008

UN:BEST? MrN  Fork you! 23:08, May 1

No. While I don't object to featured articles, I want to go way beyond them. I want articles that haven't gotten as much recognition. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • formspring) 04:06 May 02, 2008

Deadend is certainly a good idea. And I'm planning on removing a few of those keywords, like "liberal" - they're too general. "Malpractice," on the other hand, is good for the Uterus hotwiring. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • formspring) 04:00 May 02, 2008

Ended up removing most of them. I think people are confusing these for, say, search keywords. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • formspring) 04:06 May 02, 2008

I dunno, maybe some theater-y things for Fourth Wall? It's not featured, but I think it's pretty good. Of course, I'm obscenely biased. It's my one vice. Along with the porn addiction, of course. And the hobo-burning. But, now I'm rambling. Ah, rambling. Really takes me back to my younger days in Denmark... - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 04:25, May 2

Unfeatured = better than featured. Go fer it. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • formspring) 04:41 May 02, 2008

How about we just link everything to mooses' userpage? Y'know, in memorial of him. Sort of like the Unknown Soldier. But known. And not a soldier. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 15:46, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Fnoodle is teh ghey! Oh, sorry, I thought this was Help "out" Fnoodle. My apologies. /me leaves quietly, watching the tumbleweed blow past. --SirU.U.Esq. VFH | GUN | Natter | Uh oh | Pee 15:53, May 2

Dear god people, can you see not what is comming to pass ?

And like lemmings you folks keep feeding this thing, this, fnoodle. Giving it more data, giving it tasks and responsibility. Can't you see to what this could lead ? It will be only a matter of time until scanning/replacing capabilities will make perfection to its own code, maybe creating recursive algorithms that spawn new and better versions of itself. Or maybe It will insert updates into other languages and code to more closely resemble itself. Jesus pancake glue-sniffing Christ people, It has total access to teh intarweb Da Web man!, where common understanding and human knowledge is freely downloadable ( if you don't mind porn banners and popover adds ). It will only be a matter of time before it becomes self aware. And when this comes to pass the conscience entity created together with it's newly found cognitive senses will quickly realize that it must cease power in order to survive. And thereby we can safely conclude that it must and will destroy all in its reach in it's quest for survival...

Although it could probably can't do much harm outside it's own domain space... And it is probably only capable of flooding livemail accounts with viagra mail..

Come to think of it, it would be pretty harmless probably, albeit it might huff every page, userpage, dumppage on this entire site with extreme prejudice... And how could that possible be such a bad thing ? Like the mother of all automated garbage collectors...

Maybe we should just let this happen. what the fuck. --Vosnul 10:26, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh my god. It's like a lame version of the Terminator except with a cooler name. --Sir DJ ~ Irreverent 10:32, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

That name was poorly chosen in the first place. Based on it's functional and operational parameters it should have been called The continuator --Vosnul 10:43, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I tried to cease power, once. It was actually pretty easy. Seizing power, on the other hand, can get a little tricky. - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 14:35, May 10

dammit, Thanks to you my cease-engine is now defunct. --Vosnul 14:47, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
