Task name

Hi, Why Madlibs? Does that name have some history to it? (Normally we try and be short and descriptive). --Paddy3118 07:48, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

see Mad Libs on wikipedia. maybe a reference to this should be added to the task description.--eMBee 08:43, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
We ought to work that reference onto the task page somehow. –Donal Fellows 10:49, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
copied the first sentence from wikipedia. i think that works as introduction with a reference.--eMBee 11:34, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Repeated substitutions?

Most Mad Libs templates have many nouns, verbs, etc., which are all independent. How should we decide when a replacment is meant to be repeated, like with "name" in the example? --Markjreed (talk) 02:09, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
