Wikipedia talk:Unusual articles

This page has been mentioned by a media organization:

Scott Hwang (February 14, 2024). "Hwang: Wikipedia is what the internet promised to be". The Daily Northwestern. Retrieved February 15, 2024. There are pages that list helicopter prison escapes and sexually active popes, not to mention the list of unusual Wikipedia articles from which I found these examples –– or the wonderfully recursive list of lists of lists.

Classification of stations

Newhaven Marine railway station is in Places and infrastructure, but Wallsend Metro railway station is in Transport. As they're both British railway stations they should be in the same category, but I don't know which one. Your opinions? YttriumShrew, 04:27, 11 December 2019

Possible addition: Port and Starboard (orcas)

Pair of male orcas that have, for the past 10+ years been seen on the southeastern coast of Africa and may be responsible for the decrease in the population of great whites in that region. motaqk (talk) 10:29, 3 June 2025 (CAT)

Drop down menu

I would like to suggest that each section gets a drop down menu so we don't have to scroll through every section. CuriousIntentCorgi (talk) 17:24, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

that is a fine idea but you could just use the table of Contents on the left side of your screen, if you don't have it, you can find it's logo next to the page title or the upper left corner of your screen then click it and you will get the menu, you also can then select "move to sidebar" if you want it always on your screen PharaohCrab (talk) 21:01, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry I was using my phone and the menu didn't show up. Shows up when I use the desktop layout. Thank you! CuriousIntentCorgi (talk) 21:20, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Issue with "spoonerism" summary

It says: "When you accidentally switch the first two letters of a word tile whalking...er...while talking, that is." The first two letters is not an accurate description of many spoonerisms, and "tile whalking" swaps t with wh, and wh is not a single letter. 2A00:23C5:FE1C:3701:DF6:1698:A1B8:A11D (talk) 16:38, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Possible addition: Yi Kŭmch'ŏl

One of the most prolific North Korean speculative fiction authors since the 2000s, responsible for one fifth of the country's sci-fi literature. Known for incorporating relatively novel tropes to North Korean literature, such as non-Korean protagonists in foreign settings, greying morality between North Korean and foreign characters, and non-political romance.

Possible addition: Halloween III: Season of the Witch

I mean, the genre switch from Slasher to Sci-fi horror is pretty unusual if you ask me. Anyhow, here's why it's potentially unusual: First film, slasher, second film, also a slasher that would get ret coned in 2018; third film? Sci-fi horror with a cult-following. Here's the description I'm planning to give it: "After the death of the main antagonist of the first two films, the film producers decided to change genres to sci-fi horror instead of a slasher. It did not go over well." Sale1925 (talk) 23:58, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Two links that I don't know where they go

There are two links that I don't know where they go. There is Daisy (advertisement), which is already in Television, but should it go in Politics and Government? And there is also Strategery, should it go in Language, Television, or Politics and Government/Society, Economy, and Law? FlagNerd1010101 (talk) 13:48, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Possible addition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunting_in_tennis

Vocalizations made by certain tennis players including popular names such as Serena and Venus Williams, and Novak Djokovic that have stirred some controversy for distracting opponents during play. Vasalean (talk) 20:45, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
