Shouldn't it be Wikifairies? - BalthCat 02:16, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Is anybody else aware of the ambiguous insult in that term? Do wikipedians have to be homosexual in order to apply for the title? — Ashmodai ( talk · contribs) 09:01, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Hey everyone. You'll notice I made some changes to this article as well as Wikipedia:WikiGnome and Wikipedia:WikiElf and all three of the articles' related cats and userboxes so that certain things were similar across the Wiki Woodland Creature articles.
These aren't really content changes, but things like making sure all of the pages linked to the other two in a See Also section, or making sure that all three articles always capitalized the first letter of whatever came after wiki or making sure that all the articles had the same type of info on their respective userboxes.
In the same line, I tried to keep the format of the userboxes and the category pages similar. I wrote descriptions for the category pages lacking them, and made sure that form stuff was the same on all of them. I also changed the userboxes so that all of the userboxes had linkes to the category as well as the article (only one or two of them had before).
Anyway, like I said no real content changes--this pretty sums up what I did for all three articles except WikiElf where I made a few additional changes. Just wanted to let everyone know, especially as I doubt that any of you watch all of those pages. Miss Mondegreen | Talk 09:53, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't really like the wikifairy. That just sounds...tacky. talk
What's a
Dragon to do when he creates a page, then looks at it the next day and find if ugly? Is there a Request for Fairies template?

Merge done. 6SJ7 ( talk) 04:43, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Rather than have a duplicative page, why not merge, and just have a single note at the bottom that says some Wikipedians prefer the name WZM.
Create your own userbox - possibly using the Pipe trick:
This user is a [[Wikipedia:WikiFairy|WikiZenMaster]]
or some such thing. - jc37 21:06, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Can someone, anyone, explain to me how any of these pages, with the faeries and the ZenMasters and the dragons or whatever, assist in the production of an encyclopedia? It seems to me that they just turn Wikipedia into a game. The one exception that I can see is the WikiGnomes which is a fairly reasonable metaphor for people who mainly go about the business of fixing and improving the encyclopedia without getting involved in a lot of drama. Otherwise, these pages are just silly -- unless someone can explain to me why they aren't. 6SJ7 ( talk) 03:31, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Does this need the joke tag? Is it a joke that certain people are WikiFaries? Pop6 ( talk) 19:19, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
I've created a new topicon called Template:WikiFairy so that it doesn't use the deprecated Template:click and offers the option to play nicely with other topicons by using the parameter "|icon_nr=". The only catch is that it doesn't play nicely (yet) because the icon's width is too small. If someone wants to create a new, wider version of File:Fée.svg, and then adjust the width in the template to 25, that should fix the problem. Admittedly, I'm more of a WikiDragon than a WikiFairy, so I'll let one of you muck with the details. If no one fixes it in a couple of months, I may come along create a new icon for it. – VisionHolder « talk » 15:13, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
