This page in a nutshell: When the editing takes a turn out of your favor, don't get the bishops involved. Whatever you do,please just don't get the bishops involved!
When editing Wikipedia,it is inevitable: a change you make gets reverted, a piece of content you've added is contested, or really any mishap involving your contributions happens. In any case, it's of paramount importance that youstay cool, becivil, and conduct yourself properly in order to resolve the issue in the right fashion. Among the ways to bungle this orderly process are bymaking personal attacks,casting aspersions, and beingjust tone-deaf to the consensus.
There is one action of misconduct that takes the cake from anything else. It is wholly unacceptable on theEnglish Wikipedia(and onMulberry Street, to think that you'd see it there) toget thebishops involved. For goodness' sake, if the bishops get involved, the world may implode. The apocalypse is liable to start.McDonald's ice cream machines may start functioning properly.Dr. Doofenshmirtz may finallytake over the tri-state AREA!!!!!!!
Themere thought of getting the bishops involved is just too much to bear.
If the bishops are unrighteously invoked in any event or process on Wikipedia, sheer chaos is bound to ensue. Let's just not invoke them,m'kay?
There are a few ways that bishops may serve as a detriment to Wikipedia when unduly called upon, so in a flagrantmiddle-finger toWikipedia:Don't stuff beans up your nose, a list is provided below which details the many ways that getting the bishops involved on Wikipedia can (and will) go wrong.
Contacting the bishop of a Wikipedia editor who happens to be a member of the clergy, in order to rat them out for nominating your favoriteYouTuber's article for deletion. This is like to just make the YouTuber look bad, and will end you up banned from theirTwitch chat when they livestream.
A newKeanu Reeves movie has come out, and you've caught your Wikipedia editor-niece editing his page. Disapproving of hisviolent action franchise, you have enlisted a bishop and theirdiocese to mediate her activities on-wiki. This is only going to waste the church's time and make your niece hate you.
A bishop is asked to perform a technical change, such as page and file moving. A high percentage of bishops of theCatholic Church haven't the slightest idea of what to do, and may be baffled to the point of transforming to aflightless bird, most commonly anostrich orpenguin.
Ric Flair has had his umpteenth "final match".Vandals are drawn by the media attention and are vandalising his page. You decide to enlist aneparchy led by a bishop to bless Flair's page. This is not like to actually help any vandalism-combative efforts—this blessing may actually be misdirected at the vandals, and we don't want that. If this happens, even if unintentionally; the user, the bishop and his participating unit will be sentenced to57 slaps with a wet trout each, and an evening in thevillage stocks.
No bishops acting asHowitzers, no bishops advocating againstviolence in film, and no bishops blessingpro wrestlers. For the latter, keep that activity off-wiki.
Your garage band has somehow qualified for a Wikipedia article. You enlist a bishopric to create phony redirect after phony redirect in a bid to someday surpassColdplay's daily pageviews.
Union busting advocates addfringe theories to your employer's Wikipedia page in order to defame yourworkers' union. Asking for a legion ofpadres to intervene in this plight won't solve a thing.
A Wikipedia editor has decided to create a shrine toBob Ross on theiruser page, not realising that the article's infobox image they ripped wasnot a free-use image. An attempt to gain input from a bishop will be futile, asReverends are known to consistently fail to grasp the concept of non-free content.
Dan Povenmire's Wikipedia page isvandalisedfixed for the umpteenth time to read that he is the creator ofthe Minions. If a bishop intervenes, the troublewith the non-believers of Dan Povenmire'smagnum opus will be spread all overFacebook, known across the lands as thenotoriousglorious origin of all Minionmemes.
No bishops may use the magic word{{!}} to escape avertical bar character "|" inwikitext markup, in any article which was created on the dateFriday the 13th of any year.
On Wikipedia, bishops are not permitted to leverage Wikipedia in the creation ofmusic videos. (We simply don't want to run risk of a repetition of the "White & Nerdy"music video thatWeird Al filmed). Off-wiki, there is nothing stopping bishops from making videos set to genres rangingindustrial rock tosynth-pop, but the only music allowed on Wikipedia mustfreely licensed.
No bishops are allowed to dance on anyPOV pole if it is easily recognisable as not being straight. When a POV pole isgenerally accepted as being at a 90 degree angle with the Earth,then andonly then is anypole dancing allowed.
No bishops is allowed to take part in discussions regardingsupposed creative works. This includes whether an article should be retained forA Dream of Spring, what wording (if any) should be used onEl Apóstol, etc.
A user who involves two bishops is said to have thebishop pair. Two bishops are considered to have an advantage over twoSysops, or a Sysop and a bishop (as if a bishop would join forces with a Sysop). Two Sysops may have the ability todelete the main page, which may be undone, but two bishops can annihilate the main page to a point beyond recovery. If this happens, ask aglobal renamer orsteward with avanishing request tocourtesy vanish your account.
When two bishops unite, they are able to perform disruptive actions on Wikipedia. The most pressing of these activities would be performing aDJ set of "Music Sounds Better with You" (1998), "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)" (2000), and "So Much Love to Give" (2002). Each classics ofdance music, they would definitely leave the crowd rolling in the morning. However, as one bishop performs the set, another takes anillegal recording and attempts to upload the set toWikimedia Commons, constituting acopyright violation. This usually only occurs onApril Fools' Day ofleap years, but it is a worrisome occurrence enough. When two bishops unite, they are able to transform theteahouse intothe Nether fromMinecraft. The lava alone is tedious and dangerous to remove from the page, so caution is advised during cleanup in the event this happens.
Do not attempt to ask two bishops to fixthe village pump in the event it breaks. Chances are,they will grossly overestimate their skill in repair, causing untold shenanigans to unfold. Nor should you ask two bishops for ideas on how to re-write the first paragraph of the lede ofTaylor Swift's page, as the bishops may be tempted to write of their love forslushies instead.
