HAGGER?????? GRAWP WANT HAGGER! FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
+
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.

:<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.)

**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.

* 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.

The '''"XL ProTime VHS/VCR Player"''' is the brand of [[Wikipedia:Videocassette recorder|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.

:::::::::::::For the umpteenth time, why can you (or anyone else at your school) not take the two seconds required to create an account or log in with one you already have? I do it every time I come to this site and it's not an inconvenience at all. If you expect me to believe that one of the year 12s at your school shot you in a way that will kill you in five months, I don't in the slightest. I also have no intention of "being mean to someone on their birthday", but likewise neither does the fact that it's your birthday entitle you to take illegal drugs, commit murder, rob someone or break the speed limit. In much the same way, the fact that it's allegedly your birthday on a given date doesn't mean that an IP will be unblocked when that block was done entirely in a manner supported by policy. If you can come up with a single reason grounded in policy for the block to be lifted, I'll consider it. [[User:BigHaz|BigHaz]] - [[User_talk:BigHaz|Schreit mich an]] 07:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

That's the beauty of having an account - I can go halfway around the world, and as long as there's a decent internet connection, I can log in at whatever address I'm at and edit away merrily. Additionally, if you think that you're making me "unhappy" in some way, you're not.

*(resetting indent) Per [[WP:BLOCK|the blocking policy]], we see the following. Accounts/IPs can be blocked when there is persistent vandalism. That's shown clearly in the case of the IP you want unblocked. The only circumstances under which a block should be lifted are: (1) It shouldn't have been applied in the first place or (2) In order to change the manner of the block being implemented. We can dispense with the second option, since I have no intention of changing the nature of your block and neither should I without checking with the person who blocked you in the first place. In relation to the first reason, there was a clear pattern of vandalism from that IP, and the block was entirely justified. Given that you can edit from home and also are able to log into an account whenever you wish, you don't have a leg to stand on. Additionally, bear in mind that the account you ''have'' used has been warned on a number of occasions regarding its behaviour, so I would suggest that there is not only no evidence to assume that you wouldn't vandalise, but there is also evidence to assume that you would. Any questions? [[User:BigHaz|BigHaz]] - [[User_talk:BigHaz|Schreit mich an]] 01:19, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

:::You may have misunderstood. You're not going to have to "wait...a long time for the address to be unblocked." It simply ''won't be unblocked''. There's no policy-based reason to unblock it, and I have no interest in going against the policies on this one. I'm not necessarily blaming you for the vandalism from that IP. All I'm saying is that there was vandalism from that IP, and the response to that vandalism was to block the IP. You can clearly edit from other IPs and even by registering an account, so why does it even bother you? [[User:BigHaz|BigHaz]] - [[User_talk:BigHaz|Schreit mich an]] 05:09, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Unless you have the power to control what everyone at the school is doing on the computers, you couldn't have done much if anything.

We've dealt with your request to unblock that IP. We've dealt with it several times over the course of the year, in fact. If you don't have anything more to add to it (and you don't, going by the fact that you just copy-pasted the discussion in again), then don't say anything more. I'm going to revert a simple pasting of the discussion and call it vandalism, because that's really all it is.

The address is an IP. You can want it, not want it or want it to turn cartwheels for you for all that matters.

I've tried to help you, that didn't work. I've warned you that if you continued to vandalise people's Talk pages (changing templates) and articles (removing Speedy Deletion templates) and so forth that you would be blocked, that didn't seem to stop you either. You're now blocked, as I'd indicated you would be. As I suggested last time, have a bit of a look around this website and see how everyone else contributes. That way, next year when the block expires you'll probably have some good role models to follow.

While I think of it, there've been two edits of yours I've undone which weren't vandalism. Just to clarify:

-
*If someone is found guilty of the crime of murder in a court of law, they're a murderer. The only time under which that designation ceases to be the case is if they lodge an appeal and are successful in the appeal. [[Robert Farquharson]] is planning to appeal, however he has not even lodged the relevant documents at present. The idea of intent is established as part of the prosecution of the case.
+
-
*Putting a lower (or upper) case letter in square brackets (such as "[m]ining") is a very common convention. It means that the original text had a letter in the other case, but that you aren't using that punctuation in your text.

:In case the user - who has now been indefinitely blocked and rightly so - strolls past this page, I will explain once and for all what's been going on. The previous account referred to above has been indefinitely blocked for vandalism (essentially every kind of vandalism known to man) and other abuses of editing privileges. This later account is clearly, and the user admits here to being, a continuation of the previous account. This is naturally a violation of the indefinite block, since the purpose of a block is to prevent the ''person'' from editing, rather than just the ''account'' from doing so. The reversions by [[User:Jeffrey O. Gustafson]] were perfectly legitimate, as the user contacting me shouldn't have been making any edits in the first place. This seems not to have sunk in somewhere along the line, as the user has given the impression that he does not realise that the policies and guidelines of the site apply to him, but hopefully it will do so.

Heya Monkey-man. You're probably a bit closer to the technical workings of this place than I am, so a question for you. A user who's been indefinitely blocked keeps creating new accounts to complain about the block. I'm blocking the new accounts as soon as I'm able, but new ones keep being created. Is there a setting I'm not clicking properly (I tick all three check-boxes when I enact the block) that allows him to do this? Failing that, is there some way of getting the higher-ups to track down his IP address and physically prevent it from accessing the site or something like that? I know it sounds extreme, but he clearly has no understanding that an indefinite block is precisely that. [[User:BigHaz|BigHaz]] - [[User_talk:BigHaz|Schreit mich an]] 01:42, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Following on from that list of accounts and so forth before, two more names and an IP. The accounts are the creatively named "HazBig" and "SmallHaz", both of which have been indefblocked for obvious reasons. There's also the IP 60.230.37.94, which I'll lay odds is the same guy (I've blocked it, but not indefinitely, just in case). I believe these ones are coming from a home computer, so with any luck we might be able to zap him and have done with it.

You have been blocked '''indefinitely''' from editing Wikipedia as a result of this, and that means that you are blocked '''indefinitely'''. You're not blocked under this IP and not that one, or under that account and not this one. '''You''' as a person are blocked and you will '''remain''' so indefinitely. That doesn't mean a week or a month or a year, it means that there is a very real chance that you will '''never''' be OK to edit here again, since you have demonstrated that you don't know how to behave and that you're not interested in changing those behaviour patterns.

I really don't know how better to make this clear to you other than to say it over and over again in the hope that it will sink in somehow. If this were a school, your parents would have been contacted long ago and told about your permanent disregard for the school rules, and I would expect that they would have taken serious measures by now as well.

I can't even count the number of chances you were given, and you never once gave any indication of reforming. If you can't trust yourself not to carry on like this, might I suggest disconnecting your computer from the internet for a while?

He violated the blocking policy (he blocked an IP address indefinitely, and the blocking policy clearly states that you ''cannot'' do that). He keeps telling a user that they do not understand the policies, but I think ''he'' is the one not understanding. Indefinite IP blocks are not allowed. Could you please check this out.

:::Thanks.  I changed the block to 1 year.  The IP had less than 50 edits, not enough justification in my mind for a "forever" block, but in deference to BigHaz, and he seems to know more about this case than I, he is probably justified in a long-term block.  --[[User:Jayron32|Jayron32]]|[[User talk:Jayron32|<small>talk</small>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Jayron32|<small>contribs</small>]] 06:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

*I should probably explain what's going on here. The user complaining about me has - under a series of different usernames and IP addresses (yes, I can provide all or most of these if anyone wants) - spent most of the past year wilfully misunderstanding policies and generally proving a disruptive influence. He initially contacted me asking if I could lift a block on a school-based IP which had been done for vandalism. I told him that I wouldn't (I didn't enact the ban and the vandalism was pretty blatant) and, for several months, he argued with me and claimed that I was unreasonable, despite the fact that he was perfectly capable of creating an account and using it.
+
-
*During our long interaction, I noticed that he was vandalising a number of articles and at least one AfD. I began by reverting this vandalism and warning him about it, which did not seem to result in a change in his behaviour. Rather, he created accounts specifically to vandalise and move pages, for which I eventually blocked him for a short time. On his return, he began the same behaviours once again, including creating accounts designed to insult me. I was prepared to block him for a longer time than before (I think I gave him a 6-month or 12-month ban, can't remember), but another admin in fact extended that to an indefinite one, something I don't dispute at all.
+
-
*The user has, since that time, continued to create accounts and use his (apparently dynamic) IP addresses either to harrass me, vandalise various places (most recently threatening to kill people at a DRV discussion) or both. The reference to my repeatedly telling him that he doesn't understand the policies is because he has shown that he does not believe that the indefinite block applies to ''him'' personally, but seems to think that if he creates an account every couple of weeks - and tells me about it, which is baffling - people will eventually give up. Again, all the relevant diffs and so forth can be provided here if need be, but I'm heading off shortly so I can't do it right now.

::Fair enough, but if the IP address is dynamic, then there is a decent chance that sometime in the future, another person may attempt to use it to edit.  Forever is a long time... If this same IP starts the same behavior in 1 year, then it will be a quick block.  Indeed, playing whack-a-mole may be pointless.  It sucks, it really does, but maybe a rangeblock may be better than the whack-a-mole method.  If the user is editing from a truly random set of IPs, then I am not sure that ANY blocks will end up solving this problem at all... --[[User:Jayron32|Jayron32]]|[[User talk:Jayron32|<small>talk</small>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Jayron32|<small>contribs</small>]] 07:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

:::I'm happy enough with that as a solution, as I said on my Talk page earlier today (my time). My theory was that blocking the existing IP until collateral damage came to pass was an equally valid solution, since it still sends the same unequivocal message to the long-term vandal, but a long enough finite block makes just as much sense to me. Bags I ''not'' waiting by the rabbit hole in a year if at all possible, though, since I'm sick to death of having to explain to this kid that the rules continue to apply to him and that vandalism is still vandalism, even when separated by a month or so of inactivity.

We have asked you repeatedly not to police the wiki. This means telling other users what to do or how to do it. You simply do not seem to have the knack for when it is appropriate. We've asked you to play fair on the featured article selection page, not to edit others' comments, and not to swear in edit summaries. Yet, things aren't getting better. We don't seem to be getting through to you at all, even after you were blocked for two weeks for disruption. So, I'm going to block you three weeks.

(The block time is so lengthy because it's your third block.) Furthermore, the things you were saying to this ''kid'' were not just rude but overtly hostile. This is why we have told you not to tell other users what to do, because when you do you are especially mean in the way you go about it.

By the way, as annoying and frustrating as it may be for a new user to flood the recent changes, ''there is no rule against it''. It is out ''custom'' to discourage it, but that's not the same thing as a rule. Since floods bother you so much, I have enabled enhanced recent changes in your preferences, which consolidates all changes to one page into a collapsible (and ignorable) section. Obviously if it's not to your liking you can turn it back off, but I encourage you to give it a try. In your preferences you can also increase the default number of changes you see. When viewing the recent changes page, you can hide all changes in a specific namespace (like the {{p|l={{FULLURL:SP:RC|namespace=2&invert=1}} user namespace}}). &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:32, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    • 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.

  • 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.

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)
