:Oooohh... Nice. (Not a ghostly ooOOoooOOooo, just appreciation of the 'Bot now having the functionality to deal with the (now several times repeated) publishing errors at Randall's end.) Good Bot.

:the link it gave to the standard size image is actually a link to the 2x image, so maybe this functionality doesn't work right --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.154.213|162.158.154.213]] 01:26, 3 October 2023 (UTC) | :the link it gave to the standard size image is actually a link to the 2x image, so maybe this functionality doesn't work right --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.154.213|162.158.154.213]] 01:26, 3 October 2023 (UTC) | ||

should be noted that the tradition of Halloween costumes may have began as a way to scare off spirits, such as ghosts [[Special:Contributions/172.71.30.203|172.71.30.203]] 06:19, 3 October 2023 (UTC) | should be noted that the tradition of Halloween costumes may have began as a way to scare off spirits, such as ghosts [[Special:Contributions/172.71.30.203|172.71.30.203]] 06:19, 3 October 2023 (UTC) | ||

Should I edit the “Created by a BOT” in the trivia section, or keep it a bit more serious?[[Special:Contributions/162.158.137.60|162.158.137.60]] 13:07, 3 October 2023 (UTC) | Should I edit the “Created by a BOT” in the trivia section, or keep it a bit more serious?[[Special:Contributions/162.158.137.60|162.158.137.60]] 13:07, 3 October 2023 (UTC) | ||

This one seems way off base to me... is it not common knowledge that Halloween (or "All Hallow's Eve") is an originally Christian/Catholic holiday? I mean, not as important on the calendar as the usual "we have forgotten the true meaning of" holidays, Easter and Christmas, but still...

:That's a matter of definition. The Christian holiday evolved from the Celtic holiday/celebration/rituals of Samhain. A strong argument could be made that the traditions of Samhain are the "true meaning" of Hallowe'en.

::Christian missionaries who tried to take away people's holidays likely didn't survive their mission. ALL Christian holidays inherited a lot from the older celebrations around same time, even Eastern. Of course, the case of Christmas is strongest as there is exactly zero reason for putting it on that date except to override Saturnalia. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 17:49, 3 October 2023 (UTC) | ::Christian missionaries who tried to take away people's holidays likely didn't survive their mission.

I think maybe the joke in this comic is not so much that the meaning of Halloween is simple and unsubtle, but that it is perfectly illustrated by the presence of ghosts, so they don't need to explain anything (like they would for Christmas); they just need to assert their presence.
