Hello there. I'm a 23-year-old guy from Australia - more specifically, the state of Victoria. You can also find me on various other sites, such as Youtube, under the same username, and on Wikipedia under the name "Jc iindyysgvxc".

For the last few years, many changes have been made to the wiki on [[Wikipedia:April Fools' Day|April Fools' Day]]. This page hopes to document the changes throughout the years. For 2006, there's the obvious WikkiTikkiTavi styling and the redesigned Main Page, on 2007 CAPTCHA for everybody (sysops included) and the fake message saying the wiki had been shut down, for 2008 the jumbled text on all the pages, for 2009 the Homestar Runner-related ads, for 2010 the renaming of the wiki and the automatic changing of users' signatures to a Homestar Runner character's nickname, for 2011 and 2012 and from 2014 to 2019 the animated logo, for 2013 the random link redirection, and for 2022 the sbemail209-themed logo. But what about the rest of the hi-larious pranks that happened? This page hopes to document them as well.

'''November 2006:''' After a period of curiosity, searched and found out exactly who the wrestleman was: [[Strong Bad]]. I also found out that he was from a web cartoon called Homestar Runner. Though I did check out H*R for a little bit (if I remember correctly), I didn't actually watch anything on it.
+
==April Fools' 2007==
 +
===Main===
 +
*The [[Wikipedia:CAPTCHA|CAPTCHA]] was replaced with one showing {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/kb/CAPTCHA-homestar.png Homestar Runner-related words}} (and the occasional "April Fools" message). It was also made to show up for all edits, sysops included, instead of just for anonymous users and page moves.
 +
*[[Main Page]] changed to a {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/kb/afd07.html message}} stating that "The Homestar Runner Wiki has been shut down." After a short time, an "Info" link was added announced the [[HRWiki:2007 Spring Fundraising Drive|2007 Spring Fundraising Drive]] with {{p|l={{fullurl:HRWiki:2007 Spring Fundraising Drive|oldid=438208}} another message}} that read, "Scary thought, huh? Please help us make sure that never happens."
 +
*Partway through the day, any attempt to edit your sig came up with the following message:
 +
{{int:thisisreal|This is real.|System report:|100%|Please don't edit your sig today. Yes, other people did it, but each time they did it really bogged down the server.<br />Thanks for understanding.|Main Page|ok}}
-
'''March 2007:''' Did a Google search for something about text adventures. One of the results was a forum in which one of the posts contained a link to the Strong Bad Email "[[video games]]". I clicked the link to watch that email, and I finally got hooked on H*R.
+
===Users===
 +
*[[User:Bluebry|Bluebry]]
 +
**Had an "argument" with Has Matt?, mainly about the [[Wikipedia:American Idol|American Idol]] contestant [[Wikipedia:Sanjaya Malakar|Sanjaya Malakar]].

 +
*[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
 +

 +
**{{p|l={{fullurl:User:Heimstern Läufer|oldid=438230}} Replaced user page}} with a giant [[:Image:Nohito.PNG|image]] of [[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]] and said his user page was having an unnatural disaster.

 +
*[[User:The Chort|The Chort]]
 +
**{{p|l={{fullurl:User:The Chort|oldid=437779}} Replaced his userpage}} with the contents of [[The Cheat]], swapping every instance of "The Cheat" with "The Chort".

 +
**{{p|l={{fullurl:User:Venusy/Sig|oldid=438101}} 1337-ized sig}}.
 +
**Replaced talk page with automatically generated complaints, including one that erroneously claimed his title as Prof. Venusy (see [[Wikipedia:Essjay controversy|Essjay controversy]]).
 +
**Replaced messages notice with a Blue Screen of Death and a link to http://www.maxforpresident.org .
 +
**Translated navbar into hexadecimal.
 +
**Wrote all edit summaries in reverse.

[[Image:Main Page Apr1 2008.png|thumb|the How [[Main Page|Page Main]] on Fools' 2008. Day looked April]]
 +
* Every page on the website, except Special pages, [[Special:Scramble|scrambled]] the words within each block of text, so that something like the following:
 +
:: ''I'm The Homestar Runner! Some folk say I'm a terrific athlete.''
 +
: Might appear instead as:
 +
:: ''Some Homestar I'm say Runner! terrific a folk I'm athlete. The''
 +
*The logo was {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/skins/common/images/wiki-apr1.gif changed}} to show Homestar's torso instead of head, and the words "Wiki" and "Homestar Runner" were switched top to bottom. (Homestar still blinked as he [[Homestar Peeking|peeked]] over the word "Wiki".)
 +
*This effect can be seen via [[Special:Scramble]]. For example, [[Special:Scramble/virus]].

*There were [[HRWiki:April Fools' 2009 Ads|ads for Homestar Runner products]] at the top of each page with the note "Ads by [[Bookazon]]".
 +
*The font color of all of the text on the forum was changed to match the background (in most cases white) to make everything invisible. The text could only be read by highlighting it. Homestar kept his eyes shut and just [[Homestar Peeking|peeked]] occasionally.

==April Fools' 2010==

===Main===
 +
<div style="float:right; margin:1em 0 0 2em">http://www.hrwiki.org/w/skins/common/images/wiki-dumb.gif</div>
 +
*The wiki's official name was changed to the '''[[Dumb Animal Characters]] Wiki''', with the {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=697126 main page}} and logo edited to reflect the change.
 +
*If you tried to change your signature, the system would automatically change it instead to a random nickname from the list below, which came from one of the [[Strong Bad Emails]] or the [[Nicknames]] page (bold entries were chosen by the system at some point during the day):
 +
:<blockquote style="font-size:smaller">Baron von Flexmypecs, Clever Dan, Cornbread, Crapface, '''Dead Guy Perez''', DJ Dumpy Dump, Doodieman, Dumbname, Dumpface, Dumpus, Elizagerth, Genghis Khan't, Helvetica, '''Meatball Face Butt''', Miss America, '''Miss July''', Mr. Nobody, '''Mr. Prancy-time''', Mr. Smarty-Spots, Ol' Bone Legged, Ol' Butt Patterson, Ol' Dumps, '''Prancibald''', '''Rondleman''', Rotting-Dragonsmith, Sir Dumpenheimer, Strong Mad's Girlfriend, That Freakin' Marshmallow, That Stupid Wheelchair Kid, '''The Dapper Swindler''', The Elephant Man, The Human Grate-On-My-Nerves, '''The Human Wedgie''', '''The King of the Dregs''', The Over-Achiever Bandit, The Queen of Pay-Per-View, '''This Little Weirdo''', '''Valerie''', '''Weird Snake Joe''', '''Wiggidy-wiener''', '''Worldwide Starlet'''</blockquote>
 +
*Signatures were in the form: [[Special:Mypage|<span style="color:#BF00FF">Clever Dan</span>]] <small>([[Special:Mytalk|<span style="color:#008000">Talk</span>]])</small>. The colors were chosen at random from a list that included [[Fortune Cookies#Right cookie|yellow]] and white.
 +
*If you tried to change your signature a second time, you were presented with a fake edit conflict preventing it. (This was for system performance reasons more than to be funny, so that ideally each signature template would not be edited more than once during the day.)
 +
*If you tried to change your preferences, it would result in a message of "Meh, your preferences are probably fine and you shouldn't change them" to prevent you from pointing to a different signature page in your preferences.
 +
*Everyone except developers lost the rights to create pages or move subpages, to avoid the creation of alternate signature pages. (This had the side effect of preventing uploads.)
 +
<div style="float:right; margin-left:2em">http://forum.hrwiki.org/styles/subsilver2/imageset/site_logo_apr1_2010.gif</div>
 +
*The forum was changed to the H. Star Forum: A companion to the Dumb Animal Characters Wiki. Names and descriptions of the various subforums were tweaked, and [[Xeriouxly Forxe Character Variations#H. Star|H. Star]] was shown as seen in [[Xeriouxly Forxe]].

**Inspired by the sight of his signature automatically becoming "Worldwide Starlet," {{p|l={{fullurl:User:Bad_Bad_Guy|oldid=697311}} revised User Page intro}} to include Valspeak.
 +
*[[User:ColdReactive|ColdReactive]]
 +
**Complete overhaul of {{p|l={{fullurl:User:ColdReactive|oldid=696964}} user page}}, {{p|l={{fullurl:User:ColdReactive|oldid=696960}} signature}}, navigation and abandoned a [[:File:WhiteKnightHomestar.JPG|personal image]] purposely for the holiday. The theme used for this was based on a popular [[Wikipedia:Bullet hell|bullet hell]] game called [[Wikipedia:Touhou|Touhou]], as indicated by an image provided on the page.
 +
*[[User:Color Printer|Color Printer]]
 +
**Facts on user page were all {{p|l={{fullurl:User:Color Printer|oldid=697083}} changed to falsehoods}}. Most of the facts now said the opposite of the truth.
 +
**He later {{p|l={{fullurl:User:Color Printer|oldid=697484}} whited the font on the page}} and an "error message" was visible.
 +
* [[User:Dagoth|Dagoth]]
 +
**Replaced his user page with a part of the transcript of the movie [[Wikipedia:Pi (film)|Pi]], a giant [[Wikipedia:Postal 2|POSTAL<sup>2</sup>]] poster, and the words "Hey, [[Wikipedia:Maryse Ouellet|Maryse!]] Where ya been all my life?".
 +
**Replaced all instances of the letter Y with the Dutch letter [[Wikipedia:IJ (digraph)|IJ]] on his talk page.
 +
**Replaced his signature with a giant POSTAL2 logo. He tried to fix it at one point, but it turned into the Miss July one, which required intervention from [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]].

 +
*[[User:Jay|Jay]]
 +
**Changed user page to a false [[Strong Bad Email]] transcript called {{p|l={{fullurl:User:Jay|oldid=697274}} "election day"}}. Most of the links on the "election day" page were misleading (for instance, "Strong Bad" in the cast list led to "Strong Mad", and a Wikipedia link reading "G.I. Joe" instead linked to "Kim Possible".) For reference, "election day" was previously written as a failed attempt at an April Fools' Day gag in 2007.

 +
**{{p|l={{fullurl:User:RickTommy/sig|oldid=697030}} Tried}} to change his signature to an image of one of [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]]'s comments, but it was automatically changed.
 +
*[[User:SamuelGuy10|SamuelGuy10]]
 +

 +
*[[User:Shine Sprite|Shine Sprite]]
 +
**{{p|l={{fullurl:User:Shine Sprite|oldid=697043}} Replaced every character on his user page}} with a "?", to make it appear as though he was using a font that the user viewing did not have installed on his computer.

**{{p|l={{fullurl:User:StrongAwesome74/sig|oldid=697027}} Attempted}} to break signature so all following text would appear white, but failed.

 +
**{{p|l={{fullurl:User talk:Purple Wrench&oldid=719635}} Replaced his talk page}} with the above signature duplicated almost 500 times.

**Changed his {{p|l={{fullurl:User talk:RickTommy&oldid=719666}} talk page}} to look as though 311 different wiki users (he named the first 111<!--not including Willy on Wheels and Lumpy-->, then said "200 more") agreed that he should be taken down, so [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] had done it.

* All the page and tab links were changed to redirect to random pages. Where practical, the links stayed within the same namespace: Links for articles pointed to random articles, talk pages to random talk pages, project pages to random project pages, user pages to random user pages (not including user subpages), and so on. In addition, the tabs kept their functions: Clicking edit on an article would open an edit window of a random article; clicking history would show you the history of a different page in that namespace. For simplicity, generated links (like diffs on history pages and the recent changes page), interwiki links, and links to special pages just pointed to the main namespace. The sidebar links, personal user links (at the top of the page), and external links went unchanged.

Being somewhat experienced in French (I studied it in my first four years of secondary school), I've created a bunch of French subtitles. The [[subtitles:sbemail171/fr|subtitles script]] for [[underlings]], in particular, is for some reason popular, having amassed over 2,000 views, which is high by subtitles script standards, especially since it was created during the hiatus. By copying the relevant text from other subtitles, I've also created German, Spanish, and Turkish subtitles for [[Intro 2]] and [[Flag Intro]] ([[subtitles:intro2/de]], [[subtitles:intro2/es]], [[subtitles:intro2/tr]], [[subtitles:flagintro/de]], [[subtitles:flagintro/es]], and [[subtitles:flagintro/tr]]), as well as Dutch, Portuguese, and Turkish subtitles for [[500 The Cheats]] ([[subtitles:500cheats/nl]], [[subtitles:500cheats/pt-br]], and [[subtitles:500cheats/tr]]). I also created the [[Subtitles:sbcg4ap/en|original English subtitles]] for [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]]. And my French work has not been limited to subtitles - I have gone as far as to [http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&diff=707006&oldid=706807 translate an entire talk page thread on this Wiki into French].

Current revision as of 13:00, 30 December 2024

This article is a parody of WP:BJAODN. May it rest in peace.

For the last few years, many changes have been made to the wiki on April Fools' Day. This page hopes to document the changes throughout the years. For 2006, there's the obvious WikkiTikkiTavi styling and the redesigned Main Page, on 2007 CAPTCHA for everybody (sysops included) and the fake message saying the wiki had been shut down, for 2008 the jumbled text on all the pages, for 2009 the Homestar Runner-related ads, for 2010 the renaming of the wiki and the automatic changing of users' signatures to a Homestar Runner character's nickname, for 2011 and 2012 and from 2014 to 2019 the animated logo, for 2013 the random link redirection, and for 2022 the sbemail209-themed logo. But what about the rest of the hi-larious pranks that happened? This page hopes to document them as well.

[edit] April Fools' 2007

[edit] Main

  • The CAPTCHA was replaced with one showing Homestar Runner-related words (and the occasional "April Fools" message). It was also made to show up for all edits, sysops included, instead of just for anonymous users and page moves.
  • Main Page changed to a message stating that "The Homestar Runner Wiki has been shut down." After a short time, an "Info" link was added announced the 2007 Spring Fundraising Drive with another message that read, "Scary thought, huh? Please help us make sure that never happens."
  • Partway through the day, any attempt to edit your sig came up with the following message:
This is real.
Image:Warning-gray.png System report:
Please don't edit your sig today. Yes, other people did it, but each time they did it really bogged down the server.
Thanks for understanding.

  • Every page on the website, except Special pages, scrambled the words within each block of text, so that something like the following:
I'm The Homestar Runner! Some folk say I'm a terrific athlete.
Might appear instead as:
Some Homestar I'm say Runner! terrific a folk I'm athlete. The
  • The logo was changed to show Homestar's torso instead of head, and the words "Wiki" and "Homestar Runner" were switched top to bottom. (Homestar still blinked as he peeked over the word "Wiki".)
  • This effect can be seen via Special:Scramble. For example, Special:Scramble/virus.

[edit] April Fools' 2009

[edit] Main

  • There were ads for Homestar Runner products at the top of each page with the note "Ads by Bookazon".
  • The font color of all of the text on the forum was changed to match the background (in most cases white) to make everything invisible. The text could only be read by highlighting it. Homestar kept his eyes shut and just peeked occasionally.
  • A message was posted on the fanstuff wiki saying that due to lack of funds, it would never be reopened.

    • Sig automatically changed to "His Highness, Sir Hon. Rabbi Dr. DeFender1031 The Third PhD. Esq. ♔ His illustrious talk page".
  • Jay
    • User page was altered to be near-identical to the user page of JoeyDay.
    • Changed his sig to randomly display a different user name, all but one of which were parodies of other users on the wiki. They were all designed to look like a plain blue link, but only one of them linked anywhere: the "no loafing" in "Hamster Loafer... I said no loafing!!!". The complete list of all the user names, including links to the users who were parodied, can be seen here.

  • The wiki's official name was changed to the Dumb Animal Characters Wiki, with the main page and logo edited to reflect the change.
  • If you tried to change your signature, the system would automatically change it instead to a random nickname from the list below, which came from one of the Strong Bad Emails or the Nicknames page (bold entries were chosen by the system at some point during the day):
Baron von Flexmypecs, Clever Dan, Cornbread, Crapface, Dead Guy Perez, DJ Dumpy Dump, Doodieman, Dumbname, Dumpface, Dumpus, Elizagerth, Genghis Khan't, Helvetica, Meatball Face Butt, Miss America, Miss July, Mr. Nobody, Mr. Prancy-time, Mr. Smarty-Spots, Ol' Bone Legged, Ol' Butt Patterson, Ol' Dumps, Prancibald, Rondleman, Rotting-Dragonsmith, Sir Dumpenheimer, Strong Mad's Girlfriend, That Freakin' Marshmallow, That Stupid Wheelchair Kid, The Dapper Swindler, The Elephant Man, The Human Grate-On-My-Nerves, The Human Wedgie, The King of the Dregs, The Over-Achiever Bandit, The Queen of Pay-Per-View, This Little Weirdo, Valerie, Weird Snake Joe, Wiggidy-wiener, Worldwide Starlet
  • Signatures were in the form: Clever Dan (Talk). The colors were chosen at random from a list that included yellow and white.
  • If you tried to change your signature a second time, you were presented with a fake edit conflict preventing it. (This was for system performance reasons more than to be funny, so that ideally each signature template would not be edited more than once during the day.)
  • If you tried to change your preferences, it would result in a message of "Meh, your preferences are probably fine and you shouldn't change them" to prevent you from pointing to a different signature page in your preferences.
  • Everyone except developers lost the rights to create pages or move subpages, to avoid the creation of alternate signature pages. (This had the side effect of preventing uploads.)
site_logo_apr1_2010.gif
  • The forum was changed to the H. Star Forum: A companion to the Dumb Animal Characters Wiki. Names and descriptions of the various subforums were tweaked, and H. Star was shown as seen in Xeriouxly Forxe.

  • Homestar was much more animated than usual. Sometimes he would appear upside-down and then fall from the top. Other times he'd peek in from the corners. Occasionally he'd be missing altogether. From time to time he'd say "Boring!" or, after looking around, say "Um... what's going on here?" These actions repeated randomly.

    • Changed his signature to read "some guy" written upside-down, also changing the words that linked to his other pages.
  • Jay
    • Changed his user page to say a bunch of technically entirely true, but ultimately entirely pointless, phrases, ending with a slight alteration of Mrs. Tompkinsrobotmomerson's similarly useless line from Teen Girl Squad Issue 13.
    • Changed his signature to simply read "A user".
  • RickTommy
    • Replaced his user page with several Yoshi-related pictures.
    • Removed his talk archive.
    • Replaced his Featured Articles list with a condescending note about the Featured Articles.
    • Added a lengthy STUFF discussion to the top of his talk page about whether or not Yoshi can talk, then changed the name beside every existing signature in his talk page to That'sBupkis's.
    • Changed his signature to read, ""Yoshi! Yoshi!" "'Cause that's totally the way I talk."" with a picture of a Yoshi sprite at the end, and the last sentence linking to fan club, the toon where a similar line comes from.
  • SamuelGuy10
    • Inspired by a vandal attack that occurred just before April Fools', he wrote on his user page a sentence contradictory to the one the vandal repeatedly wrote, repeated several times.
  • Super Martyo Brother
    • Changed his user page to display one of five phrases, then added a picture from "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" of a dark unicorn eating an apple. This was alongside the phrase, "Thou Furious?"
    • Changed his signature to read, "I HAVE SPOKEN! don't question my methods!"
  • Tenerence Love
  • The Knights Who Say Ni
    • Treated his entire user page and signature as base 36 numbers, and converted them into base 10.

  • All the page and tab links were changed to redirect to random pages. Where practical, the links stayed within the same namespace: Links for articles pointed to random articles, talk pages to random talk pages, project pages to random project pages, user pages to random user pages (not including user subpages), and so on. In addition, the tabs kept their functions: Clicking edit on an article would open an edit window of a random article; clicking history would show you the history of a different page in that namespace. For simplicity, generated links (like diffs on history pages and the recent changes page), interwiki links, and links to special pages just pointed to the main namespace. The sidebar links, personal user links (at the top of the page), and external links went unchanged.

  • Homestar was much more animated than usual. Sometimes he would appear upside-down and then fall from the top. Other times he'd peek in from the corners. Occasionally he'd be missing altogether. From time to time he'd say "Boring!" or, after looking around, say "Um... what's going on here?" These actions repeated randomly.

[edit] Users

  • ColdReactive
    • Replaced his user page with links to YouTube videos, which related to plans for his YouTube channel.
  • Jay
    • Added a note to his user page saying that its correct title was a randomly selected phonetic spelling of every letter of the alphabet ("Someone" for J).
    • Changed his signature to display a randomly selected phonetic spelling of every letter of the alphabet, with the "Talk" link displaying a Homestar Runner phrase related to that letter.
  • Purple Wrench
    • Impersonated Catjaz63.
      • Changed the top of his user page to resemble what Catjaz63's page might have looked like if he had settled on one (preceding link only works on April 1; click here to view the user page year round).
      • Changed the top of his talk page to use the "C.R.A.P. Meter" from Catjaz63's talk page (preceding link only works on April 1; click here to view the talk page year round).
      • Changed his sig to an early version of Catjaz63's sig that did not meet wiki standards for length (archived on current sig page).

Do I still have too much time on my hands?"

Decoded from hex ASCII, this is "Ba lbhe? Gung'f vg? Ba lbhe cvyr bs frperg Nmgrp tbyq? Be ba lbhe pne cubar? Ohg naljnl, lrf. videlectrix.pngRAHFL", after ROT13, that gives "On your? That's it? On your pile of secret Aztec gold? Or on your car phone? But anyway, yes. videlectrix.pngENUSY"

Which is Braille for "Huh? I Definately said "on my hands" at the end there... anyway, that was fun, let's not do it again. (Incidentally, what are the chances of this ending up on your baleeted nonsense page?) --phlip TC" – if you can't read it (if you don't have the appropriate font) you can see it here. Venusy couldn't read it, so that's where the conversation ended.

The "XL ProTime VHS/VCR Player" is the brand of Videocassette recorder that appears in various toons and was first seen in Strong Bad Email 12:00. The mechanical issues such as tracking problems, visible vertical rainbow, and the ubiquitous blinking 12:00 are a running joke. It is usually seen on top of the Telebision. 86.147.22.231 16:23, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
