Right place for initial discussion of proposed new templates
editDoes the initial discussion of proposed new templates belong in Idea Lab or in Technical? Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 13:15, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Chatul, both would be good places. The Idea Lab is perhaps a more theoretical venue, if that helps. EpicPupper (talk) 23:52, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

edit@Mrfoogles and EEng: I agree that the image is a bit silly, but there's a long-standing tradition that being a bit silly in project space is acceptable, or at least tolerated, as long as it's not disruptive. Probably not worth edit-warring about. RoySmith (talk) 22:47, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- Exactly. Maybe, Mrfoogles, when you have more than 267 edits total you'll understand better. EEng 23:29, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, will stop messing with it. It does make it hard to figure out what the thing is talking about, though, like a bad cue. Not worth edit warring about. Mrfoogles (talk) 02:09, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- One function of humor is to exercise the faculty of figuring out what things are really talking about. EEng 02:15, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- @EEng, Mrfoogles, and RoySmith: After some consideration, I've removed the image, as an irrelevant distraction from a serious discussion. As I've discussed with EEng before, humor in its place is a very good thing, but a sense of occasion is also important, and not every conceivable visual homonym-based pun ought to be made.

- Minor and miner are not homonyms; they're homophones. And you a lawyer. Geesh! EEng 05:28, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
