Wikipedia:Last topic pool
This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous. Such material is not meant to be taken seriously. |
This is a pool for guessing what the topic of the last article created on Wikipedia may be. Other topic pools exist for certain milestones (see one millionth and two-millionth topic pools and Wikipedia:500th language pool), but none are as important as the last topic created. You may be wondering why something might be the last article. Well,
- Wikipedia might go under
- Interest in Wikipedia might dwindle to the point that nobody edits it ever again
- the Earth (or at least the Internet) may end in some catastrophic fashion
- Wikipedia might simply be finished with the sum total of all current and future human knowledge
- Or Wikipedia will change its name, therefore the "last article" would be the last under the name of Wikipedia.
But just like there was a first article, there should undoubtedly be a last. This is the pool for that eventuality! Everyone is allowed a maximum of three votes. Voting ends when the ten-thousandth-to-last article is created. And by the way, someone should probably periodically archive this page, because when we need it to check and see who's won, it may not be around any longer.
Instructions for voting: Add the article name to the appropriate section and sign it with four tildes. If the section doesn't exist yet, make it.

- Imagine, if you will, that robots have completely taken over the Earth within a matter of hours. You are the last human being alive, and you're holed up in some bunker in the middle of nowhere in an attempt to prolong the inevitable. Using the last of your base's backup power, you decide to check Wikipedia one last time before you are inevitably hunted to extinction, for old time's sake. You've been on the internet long enough to know that The Singularity your species fell victim to definitely already has a page all to itself, but upon checking you find something horrifying. What was until a few minutes ago an eloquent entry about the tragic last breath of mankind has been completely vandalized, all text, images, and sources replaced with a measly four letters; GG EZ.

- Destruction of Earth The first version is: "The Destruction of Earth was an event happening on 3047. On the year 3025, Jicky Peri, a scientist and NASA astronaut had successfully built a supercomputer with it’s own WIFI that could transport itself anywhere. Later she updated it to clone itself and cloned it, and then transported it to the Moon and Mars. The computer had replaced the rovers, giving realistic pictures and had predicted the destruction and everyone is able to transport. Jicky Peri has now received 257 awards." 04:21, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vacuum stabilisation hypothesis (2nd nomination) concerning a recreated article on a non-notable fringe subject—particularly, the unsubstantiated hypothesis that it is somehow possible to induce a false vacuum decay event using current or emerging technology. The original article creator has continuously made unproven claims about a ficticious classified DARPA project to develop a "hyperweapon" that is allegedly capable of triggering a decay event. However, these claims could not be corroborated by any of the sources they have provided, nor has the hypothesis itself received significant coverage in any reliable sources. Please do not recreate the article without establishing notability first. Wikipedia is not a platform for baseless pseudoscientific alarmism nor is there a conspiracy to cover up the existence of so-called vacuum stabilizers, which are not even theoretically feasible to begin with. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 21:39, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

- Ludovican Inquisition — Tribunals developed by the Holy See during the tenure of Antipope Louis, a sedevacantist who had previously been nicknamed the Qardinal or QArdinal on account of his conspiratorial beliefs. After usurping his predecessor in a coup d'etat, Louis revived the Papal States and, with extensive support from dominionist organizations, subsequently launched a military campaign with the motive of world domination. As Louis gained control over international commerce, he issued a bull that made it compulsory for all participants in the retail sector to be stamped with a seal bearing his Latin name and shoehorned a brutal police operation to prosecute unstamped individuals who continued to make transactions in defiance of the new mandate, and attempted to justify his decrees as being necessary for fostering an environment of mutual trust between businesses and consumers. In spite of Wikipedia's unfavorable coverage of him, Louis censured the Wikimedia Foundation for "silencing" his supporters and ordered the organization to be shut down. With a bastion of free knowledge taken out of the picture, the New Papal States continued to crack down on political dissent until Louis, along with a crowd of pro-Ludovican militant elements, were captured by opposition forces near the site of Tel Megiddo west of the former Euphrates, charged with crimes against humanity, and sentenced to life with the possibility of parole in 1,000 years. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 01:38, 23 February 2023 (UTC)—2024
- Asides from usurping the papacy, reviving the Papal States and waging a war of aggression, Louis was criticized for his poor handling of the Late Anthropocene extinction event, during which a series of natural and anthropogenic disasters—including impact events that started uncontrollably large wildfires and harmful algal blooms—resulted in at least 2.65 billion casualties and caused unprecedented disruption to agriculture, fishing, and maritime trade. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 16:19, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

edit- i^n. I read a short science fiction story once. It might have been by Asimov. Sometime in the far distant future, it is discovered that there is a finite amount of information in the universe. This is all collected into a massive database. Many indexes are created to assist in searching this database, and then some indexes to indexes (known as i^2) are created to help people find which index they need. Then i^3s are produced and so on. Finally, the ultimate index to indexes to indexes... is created, known as i^n, and searching is sweet, until one day someone gets an index corruption error, and all knowledge is lost. Anyone know the name of the story, or can confirm the author?-gadfium 02:21, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

- Wouldn't that be i^ω? Melchoir 02:51, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
- Wouldn't we need an index to search through i^ω? That would be i^(ω + 1), and so on. And thus, we see the usefulness of ordinals in real life.
- But actually, we can't possibly need more indexes than the amount of data, right? So perhaps this really is i^n, where n is no greater than the total amount of bits of information in the database. -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 12:08, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Since articles not containing any wikilinks aren't counted in the article count, the count hence stops increasing, and subsequently decreases as admins go around enforcing the ruling by deleting all existing articles that contain wikilinks.

- That's not the question, though. That's the answer. If you must know, the question is "What is 6x9?". ~ 07:19, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- Of course, this works if you do the calculation in base 13, not decimal. There are several possible causes of this: the scrabble bag did not have enough letters to complete the question; the mice normally used base 13, so the Earth did not see any need to specify this; the arrival of the B Ark upset the calculation, and the program is coorupted; or, as the play itself said "I always knew there was something funadmentally wrong with the universe" (I will correc this when I can be bothered)Phil alias Harry 03:25, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

- Of course, this works if you do the calculation in base 13, not decimal. There are several possible causes of this: the scrabble bag did not have enough letters to complete the question; the mice normally used base 13, so the Earth did not see any need to specify this; the arrival of the B Ark upset the calculation, and the program is coorupted; or, as the play itself said "I always knew there was something funadmentally wrong with the universe" (I will correc this when I can be bothered)Phil alias Harry 03:25, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

- PANTS Vandalism Coordination Center - In an ironic turn the last article created is an on-site home base of sorts for the thousands of anti-wiki "PANTS" (People Are Not Too Satisfied) vandals that are dedicating their computers to an all-out spam attack on the Wiki using advanced software built for mass page editing. The attacks come so heavily and so fast that everyone is caught off guard; the servers are overloaded. The creators of the advanced software, the leaders of the PANTS, take the overload as an opportunity to sneak into Wikipedia headquarters, which are then located on Wiki island in Oceania. The PANTS leaders are able to enter unnoticed and by using a nasty virus they are able to corrupt the entire Wikipedia archive; the site meanwhile is down for about an hour with the message "PANTS have taken over. Go outside, enjoy your freedom," with a picture of trousers. The virus finally erases everything (even itself) and the Wikipedia shuts down forever. The Wikipedia employees are forced to re-launch the site under a different name due to software still loaded on many computers which attacks anything appearing on the domain wikipedia.org. The site launches with only about 1% of the articles (thanks to a hard disk backup that wasn't connected to the mainframe during the attack) under simply the name "Wiki." The entire story is bought by NBC Universal and made into a movie. -DMurphy 06:05, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

- Thomas Jonze An article about a normal hardware shop owner from Iowa written by a former business competitor. Jonze sues wikipedia when he realizes the article about him includes his home address and claims he is a serial-arsonist leading to his divorce and estrangement from his wife and family. Luckily for the competitor the article continues to be hosted on several mirror sites after wikipedia's demise.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 09:39, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
- National Portrait Gallery v. Derrick Coetzee After the threat from the NPG, Wikimedia and the NPG can't agree on a solution.

- Resolution of nationalist article naming disputes - German and Polish editors finally agree a standard on the naming of places within Europe that might at one point have been part of either. The issues surrounding the island and state of Ireland are solved shortly after, with all sides benefitting. The discussion over whether Jimbo Wales is a country, or merely part of a United Jimbo brings a whole new meaning to argumentum ad jimbonem. All of which culminates in a bizarre incident in which several French editors are blocked for edit warring with themselves. 81.111.114.131 (talk) 07:26, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

- Wikipedia is renamed as Google Wiki - as previously Wikimedia Foundation breaks down from all the high traffic and simply donating and sponsoring Wikipedia won't suffice any more, so essentially Wikipedia would either have to put up loads of ads or start charging (God forbid :[ ) people for lets say every hour's worth of view time. Meanwhile "Google becomes God" (sometime in say 2030 and Google is synonymous with search engine and even Internet itself for the unfamiliar) and decides to buy out Wikipedia (since the tentative Wikipedia ads aren't working too well!) (unrelated: didn't Google once have a Wiki project themselves?) in a similar move to what happened to Youtube, except for no particular reason Wikipedia gets renamed).

- meta:Wikidirectory, a fork of DMOZ due to concerns created by Verizon (owner of AOL, who own DMOZ) not supporting Net Neutrality. Shortly after, Verizon files a lawsuit against Wikimedia (a la Internet Brands) and due to Verizon being much, much bigger than Internet Brands (not to mention thier hired congressional lobbyists), WMF lose the case and are forced to shut everything down. However, the GNU project had already forked the projects because Richard Stallman didn't like the CC license, so GNU/Pedia becomes the 5th most popular website. 2001:569:BD88:6D00:E5E3:E5DF:A022:29C1 (talk) 18:19, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

- mediawikiwiki:Release notes/2.0: MediaWiki 2.0 will probably never come out. It was supposed to come out in late 2004(!), and Brion said it was in development in May 2013(!!), but it still isn't out. Features include: a built-in Phabricator-incompatible bug tracker, new 1.x-incompatible XML-based syntax, a brand-new totally-incompatible visual editor (with no wikitext option), and a complete lack of backwards compatibility with MediaWiki 1.x.
