I like it, insightful enough for me to not VfD it even though it doesn't really belong. -- Alex Krupp 23:38, Oct 3, 2004 (UTC)
It's still here. Move it to meta already. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.250.3.64 ( talk) 09:07, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't the title be "Wikipedia is a MMORPG" instead of "an MMORPG?" Massive doesn't actually begin with a vowel or a vowel sound. cookie 19:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia is no more a MMORPG than Congress is. Articles are magic items? Whoever wrote this has absolutely no idea what even constitutes a "game".
Wikipedia is an online library that essentially allows anyone to add a book to it about just about anything. That isn't a game. And neither is 'edit wars' a game. Thats just griefing, and its been around much longer than the internet has. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.102.7.2 ( talk • contribs) 05:08, June 23, 2006 (UTC)
Can't people ever see these types of articles are JOKES? Sheesh. 72.130.133.0 01:05, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Stop making Wikipedia jokes, they aren't funny.... TheFireFox 17:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
No-one has spoken in this discussion for eleven years (what's more ferret hates me for doing this kind of thing) but I LOVE THIS ESSAY. 65.102.7.2? Pah! I totally disagree with you. See my talk page for my reasons why (see Dungeon Attack, a game I made). MarioFyreFlower ( talk) 20:07, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
This page is extremely well written and innovative, but misses a point or two. It doesn't mention that "players" belong in "classes" (sysops, bureaucrats, etc.) and "races" (POV hunters, WikiGnomes, Wikifairies etc.). -- Orthologist 20:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
The um... Cabal? Wait... There isn't one... <Shifty eyes> Yes... Let's go with that... Alx xlA 02:59, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Hey i loved this article. I just wanted an explanation of how this fits in the Wikipediholism spectrum. J-stan 17:11, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
People who treat this place like a game are probably violating WP policy.-- h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 13:42, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
I think the humor of this essay is being distracted with the large number of terms in brackets. If no one disagrees, I will go ahead and incorporate their contents into wikilinks to the respective words.-- Alasdair 16:36, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Theoretically, aren't there several other free MMO's?

In the WP:Wikipedia is an MMORPG#Social section, it is suggesting that we have over 6.86 million taverns. Now, that's an interesting, if expensive, prospect, but I was wondering if perhaps "balconies" might be a better fit? With the villagepumps as more obvious contenders for the title of our 5 main "taverns"... -- Quiddity ( talk) 07:04, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
I like this idea however I suggest including more Wikifauna. Jastcaan ( talk) 10:49, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
so much for running an encyclopedia. This is just a giant space for jerking off by little Nacny boys, who should do sports. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.127.134.132 ( talk) 02:56, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure how we can talk about stewards' ability to do just about anything the dark lord can do. Surely that should be mentioned. Jasper Deng (talk) 04:46, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
I propose the following for Revdelete and Oversight:
If these already exist, they would be cool additional analogies. Jasper Deng (talk) 05:21, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
I'm going crazy here, but I'm proposing this:
I thought having the default image was a bit dull, so I changed it to File:WikiGreen.png. There's also File:En-wikipedia arms 3.svg and File:Outlaw-halo.PNG which might be worth a look. It Is Me Here t / c 22:03, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
I have added a new section on general Wikipedia roles. Would appreciate of some-one could expand it.-- Deathlaser talk 14:10, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

It's been two years or so since I've looked at this, and it's still hilarious. Sometimes I wonder if Phil Foglio's been editing it. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿¤þ Contrib. 12:52, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
This is one of the greatest articles I have ever read. Seriously, hats off to the authors, that was clever and very awesome. I'm impressed and greatly amused. :) • Jesse V. (talk) 06:22, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
Could we work in a link to WP:Wikipedia is in the real world#Wikipedia is not a role-playing game somewhere around the "See also" section? -- SoledadKabocha ( talk) 18:48, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello everyone.
I saw no section about game rules! Did I miss something? 2602:304:59B8:3C89:5D8B:D475:D76:D59C ( talk) 20:41, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
Arbcom is first referred to as the Arch Mages and is then later referred to as the Super Game Masters. This inconsistency should be fixed, but I'm not really sure how to best do it. -- Jakob ( talk) 21:21, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
"Super Game Masters, also known as Arch Mages, are..." Red Panda 25 21:38, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
I had to say, that's the funnest thing I've seen on here.
I must say, well done. It's great as a game. The only problem is, you CAN'T win. But it's still pretty good. Red Panda 25 21:35, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
Don't you need to be a gunner in order to use swords? -- Rlin8 ( talk) 17:52, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Serial Number 54129 ( talk · contribs) did a bad move. MMORPG is pronounce beginning with em /ɛm/), with a vowel. This is normal. See "is a M" versus "is an M". Please revert the move. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 22:04, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Without wanting to breach the three revert rule rule, I thought I'd bring those involved to the talk page so we could all figure out what's going on.
@ EthanRossie2000:, @ Izno:, the reason that the reference to WP:WikiImp has a {{ citation needed}} template on it is because, as explained in the link, WikiImps tend to leave such templates wherever they go. Thus, it is humorous for the WikiImp reference in this article to be templated so.
I would like to vote for consensus to have the tag re-applied, but of course am willing to bend to the community voice should that not be the case.
Thanks for hearing me out - a sometimes WikiImp, Elfabet ( talk) 15:52, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
Seem to be lots of opportunities for this group who are in both support and disagreement with the players - black locks, unbreakable, that not only can't be accessed by a skeleton key, but break them. Permabans - more like carbonite than ice blocks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nosebagbear ( talk • contribs)
If Wikipedia was an MMORPG, shouldn't it be considered the biggest MMO because it has more players than World of Warcraft? If so, should this information be added to the article? MarioFyreFlower ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 15:01, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

I made a video about this concept. Not sure if it should be added to the external links or not. If it belongs there, then I definitely shouldn't be the one to add it. – MJL ‐Talk‐ ☖ 16:26, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
