Issue Summary
We're starting to have a lot of fun, joke-y type modules so it would be probably good if we can categorize them together with a 'Novelty' category.
Comments
#1
I'm a fan of this idea. We need a place to categorize Eldorado Superfly and Talk Like A Pirate. +1
#2
I am not contrary to the idea, but I think that like other categories there should be X modules that possibly can use the new category; if the modules are just two, then it's not worth adding the category.
#3
Those were just two I came up with, there are easily at least 50 modules that fall into this category.
#4
Is it possible to have the list of modules that would fit in the new category? If nobody is against adding it, I would create it and add the category to the modules.
#5
Off the top of my head:
Eldorado Superfly
Hooker
Dialectic
Khaaaaaan
The
Kitten Killer
Pirate
Narcissist
Bad Judgement
#6
Novelty category has been created.
#7
Actually, there is already the category Games and amusements to which the description modules that were written for fun seems to suit too. Why wasn't the existing category used?
#8
I consider them to be different contexts:
Novelty: joke modules that we wrote when intoxicated
Games and Amusement: actually having to deal with having games in drupal
#9
Games would be Chess or Tetris.
Novelty would be that silly Chuck Norris module.
I do see Novelty and Games as different.
#10
RE:
Is there another way to write modules?
#11
Thank you all for explaining the difference.

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
#13
Adding a pointer to #1428992: Rename "Novelty" category to "Joke modules" in case any of the original participants in creating this category want to weigh in. That issue is currently postponed so more input may not be needed at this time but at least this way folks will be aware of it and can "follow" it if they'd like.
