• A great parody, and fun to sing along. Incidentally, was there ever really a time when someone would oppose an RfA because the candidate had not participated enough in portal talk, or is that just a joke? In 2023 I think you could become an admin without ever having seen a portal. CharredShorthand.talk; 18:44, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

• @CharredShorthand: There was a period where checking what namespaces you participated in was a huge part of Adminship. Something something well-rounded something something understands all aspects. So more exaggeration. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600^th FP!} 22:00, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

• I remember singing this back in middle school. Wow, 17 years later and it's just as relevant. -- Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 23:17, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

• We need more hilariously stupid stuff like this. Unfortunately various modern policies and essays and stuff sort of discourage/prevent this. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 00:41, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

• Like I said in January in this publication, "fun 'is no longer relevant or consensus or its purpose has become unclear'". ☆ Bri (talk) 00:53, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
