Humorous Wikipedia essay

This is a humorous essay.

Wikipedia is not social media. It is not meant to be used as a vehicle for social popularity, nor is it meant for posting your cringe-inducing TikTok dances. Please, do not clog the Wikimedia servers with the Renegade, thirst-traps, conspiracy theories about how JFK is alive, gameplays, or anything else that belongs on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, etc.

One of the best ways to remember all of this information are the immortal words of "Weird" Al Yankovic:

Every stupid hoax, all those corny jokes

Stop forwarding that crap to me

Well, I don't need tons of cringe inducing puns

Stop forwarding that crap to me

No, it isn't okay if you brighten my day

With some cut and pasted, hackneyed Hallmark poetry

And I didn't request a personality test

Stop forwarding that crap to me

You're sending virus-laden, bandwidth-hogging attachments

To every single person you know

You're passin' 'round a link to some dumb thing on YouTube

That everybody else already saw 3 years ago

And wacky, badly photoshopped billboards were never that amusing to me

And I just can't believe you believe those urban legends

But I have high hopes someone'll point you towards Snopes

And debunk that crazy junk you're spewing constantly...

"Weird Al" Yankovic, Stop Forwarding That Crap To Me, Alpocalypse, 2011
