This page was marked for cleanup per MoS:DAB.
Deleted for sounding like promotion for commercial non-notable products:

  • Mojo, a ratings system refers to the rating system used in the Scoop collaborative media application that is used by Kuro5hin. Mojo is based on the average rating applied to a user's recent comments and is not displayed to the user. Users with Mojo greater than a specific threshold can rate comments below 1 and view comments that have an average rating below 1.
  • Mojo, a breakout box from Avid Technology that allows input from analog and digital sources, and back out again.

Deleted for non-notability:

Deleted for not belonging on a DAB page (terms are not just known by "Mojo" but are compound names)

"Mojo Jojo" does also just go by Mojo, but probably most people looking for the character would have also heard his full name. 72.87.188.118 (talk) 05:45, 6 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

I removed this external link, but am placing it here in case anyone is planning on writing an article on The Mojo Project:

Classification?

Just wondering why for example Box Office Mojo is "Other" and not "Media and Entertainment". And there also couple of more that should somewhere else than "Other". It took my some time to find it.--Nedergard (talk) 13:57, 7 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Figurative use

edit

@Bkonrad: Besides my silly edit summary, why did you revert my edit? This was popularized as such in the film Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. The slang usage stems from its African voodoo origin, but has a completely different association in modern culture. Feels like an omission not to include something along these lines.

Hard to see any ambiguity in the entries you added. Both Charisma and Libido fail WP:DABMENTION and can't much risk of confusion. While the term is mentioned in Austin Powers, the movie itself isn't ambiguous and the term there links to Mojo (African-American culture) in any case. olderwiser 22:43, 8 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps what would make sense is a mention of mojo as the MacGuffin of The Spy Who Shagged Me under 'Film and television'. That's where the term more or less re-entered the popular lexicon, being pretty much as well known as Mojo Jojo from The Powerpuff Girls. UpdateNerd (talk) 22:54, 8 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Sounds like unreferenced notion. The term has been in common use for a long time. Perhaps Austin Powers contributed to some resurgence, but nothing of encyclopedic note. olderwiser 23:07, 8 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
