" parody religion "

[edit]

I think this page should flat out redirect to Flying Spaghetti Monster. The other acronyms are less known, and even lesser known in acronymatic form. FSM is an extremely common abbreviation for the creature, and I think the FSM has earned it's place in the public sphere. --dkkicks 2006, Nov. 1 15:30

Alternatively, we could not rate a parody religion primarily of interest in United States politics above, say, a Country. Also, FSM expanding to "Finite State Machine" comes up pretty frequently for me at least. 129.63.28.124 07:02, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to ask that the word "parody" is removed from the FSM description and that FSM links directly to Flying Spaghetti Monster seems as I highly doubt that Finite State Machine is searched for more than the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
I second both of those. At the very least Flying Spaghetti Monster should be towards the top since it's the most common form of FSM. Liliuokalani (talk) 22:58, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any sincere Pastafarian would be offended by the word parody. There may be some. I think that wikipedia shuld not be deliberatly offensive to followers of any religon however misguided they may be. You may not agree : you should not offend .....mikeL 26-11-09 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.238.234.205 (talk) 11:19, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fortunately, "sincere" and "Pastafarian" go together like spaghetti and whipped cream. --Tryptofish (talk) 17:36, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Primary topic

[edit]

To whomever is changing the article to use Flying Spaghetti Monster as a "primary topic". Please read MOS:DAB#Linking to a primary topic. Primary topic is only used when the page is of the format "X (disambiguation)". If you think this is justified, move this page to FSM (disambiguation) and redirect FSM to Flying Spaghetti Monster. Only then can the primary topic format be used. --Muhandes (talk) 18:01, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Whomever is me. Please understand that I'm simply looking at this in the context of the thread above, for example. Not a big deal. Would that move/redirect be acceptable to you? It would be fine with me. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:17, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have no opinion regarding the move, my concern was technical. Since this seems to be disputable it should probably be taken to WP:RM. I think it would require administrator action anyway. Changing the page as if such a move was already accepted and performed seemed to me inappropriate. --Muhandes (talk) 18:24, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Disputable? Really? As I said, not a big deal. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:40, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for moving it up. As far as I'm concerned, this is fine. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:24, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We don't have a page on that specific abbreviation, but we do have Personal advertisement, so I added that. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:21, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
