Does anyone know what this is or need it explained? Why is this page devoted solely to a five-year-old joke still here when dozens of useful pages were deleted for having some sarcasm or humor on them? Matt Weiner (talk) 16:06, 13 July 2013 (PDT)
- Relatedly: Is there a top-down way to delete stupid or useless categories, so people don't have to drudge through every page linked to that category to delete the category tags? There's a ton of un-updated and conflicting categories listing championship programs, title winners, etc. which ought to be consolidated, lots of stupid nonsense like this, and lots of super-large and completely-unused categories such as "High school players active in 2004".

- Also, use colons to offset responses on talk pages.
- Unfortunately, Matt...no, there isn't. Also, David, only admins have permissions to delete pages on mediawiki, by default, and it pops up as one of the tabs up top, not as a link on special pages. --Jacob Reed (talk) 09:24, 14 July 2013 (PDT)
