So boQwI' has tags that mean "transitive because I say so" and "transitive in canon"? wejpuH.

The tag is written out as "This verb can probably take a direct object." I assume that in cases where canon doesn't confirm one way or another, De'vID relies on the transitivity of the English gloss.

None of joke, make a joke, or tell a joke seem transitive to me.
