Edit from Dom: One of the magfest organizers: If anyone associated with Magfest is editing the wikipedia page to say stuff about Magfest is or isn't a Donut, please stop. The wikipedia editors who are maintaining this page have enough to deal with and we want this page to be as real as possible. I also mentioned in our staff slack if anyone's doing this to please stop. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14A:C080:31C0:31D6:2F90:339E:FAEC ( talk) 18:37, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
What is "MAGFest is a donut"? As far as I can tell, it is a stupid inside joke and it needs to not be continued here as it will confuse readers. -- Doctorx0079 ( talk) 01:12, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
THE GENRE OF MAGFEST IS NOT "DONUT". Any time "donut" is added to the "genre" category it will be reverted. -- Doctorx0079 ( talk) 20:54, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
