Wikipedia talk:Wikipediholism test/legacy

Why change?

@Kernosky: Isn't the point of this page to be the long version preserved? why did you change it? This version looks like it should have been created at Wikipedia:Wikipediaholism test/sandbox. I suppose you could always look in the page history, but that kinda defeats the purpose. Or is there some discussion I missed? I haven't been on here for a while.

Changed back. Kernosky talk2me! 20:12, 1 November 2015 (UTC).

Thanks, although I do like your streamlined version. Perhaps you could put it at Wikipedia:Wikipediaholism test/short version? CamelCase (talk | contribs) 22:50, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

So now it has come to this

Now that it has been moved, (unfortunately) people are not really putting in as much effort into their edits. People are adding stupid stuff. I always thought we could just start pruning down useless questions Player072 (talk) 22:09, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

I have decided to return for a while just to do a little cleanup, especially pruning the "Yo momma" jokes, just so you know. And do you think they should really semi-protect the page to make sure? m'encarta (t) 16:37, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Considering replacing this with the "modern" test with RC

That was much better than what we have right now. This is a disgrace to the legacy test with all the Q-Bert swearing and stupid score ranges. We might instead have a "vintage" version (the 150 question one with bonus points, serious compared to the others), the "legacy" version (around a thousand questions with Eliteness, funny but to the point), and the "modern" version (around 2 thousand questions with Eliteness and RC, humorous and whimsical)

Support. Modern version will be better. 108.65.81.234 (talk) 23:30, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Alternatively, it can go "standard" (what's on the main page right now), "vintage" (no eliteness, modern layout, around 500 questions), "legacy" (with eliteness), and "modern" (with RC) James1011R (talk, contribs) 01:55, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose. See above. 108.71.120.245 (talk) 13:23, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Random Number God

I'm thinking about deleting Wikilink for Random Number God, the article is deleted. It's just a redlink now, Thanks. - INVISIBLE^knock! 16:15, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Modern test is up.

Please leave that for inane stuffs like Q-Bert swearing, question overload, and shitting up the score system. Also, the legacy version has only two scoring parameters, that is, points and Eliteness. Legacy is to keep the legacy of a non-serious test that wasn't full of crap alive. Modern is to keep the test right before it was turned into the serious one alive.

tl;dr keep inanity, RC, and squid points in modern James1011R (talk, contribs) 09:57, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Do we even need Eliteness here?

Starting to feel like it should be in the modern test strictly. We can replace it with "bonus questions" a la the standard test, and use an alternate scoring based on that (Insanity perhaps?). James1011R (talk, contribs) 18:25, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

I think it should stay. The thing with the legacy test is that there are no bonus questions, they just go in the relevant section. Also eliteness isn’t redundant or pointless like rare coins and squid points. — pythoncoder  (talk | contribs) 20:02, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
