- | + | 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. | |

+ | *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. | ||

Current revision as of 15:38, 12 May 2023
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' 2006
[edit] Main
- Main Page changed to WikkiTikkiTavi Main Page.
- Monobook skin changed to tavistyle. As a side effect of the changes that were made, the other skins in the list stopped functioning correctly.
- Mass public outcry
- HRWiki:A History modified to reflect the downgrade
- There was sufficient demand after April 1 that the TaviStyle skin was made a permanent choice in the user preferences.
[edit] Related
- Fanstuff Wiki put up a fake "You have new messages" banner on the main page. All of the tab titles were changed. Users who wished to complain were directed to their own talk page. The sidebar and some of the other messages were also modified.

[edit] Users
- Color Printer
- Flipped user page upside-down, similar to the prank at H*R.com.
- E.L. Cool
- Translated his entire user page into Hebrew.
- FireBird

[edit] April Fools' 2010
[edit] Main
- 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.)
- 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.
[edit] Users
- Bad Bad Guy
- Inspired by the sight of his signature automatically becoming "Worldwide Starlet," revised User Page intro to include Valspeak.

- User page re-written in the style of typical newbish users'.
- Signature changed to read, "May I please use the compyuter?"
- Jay
- Changed user page to a false Strong Bad Email transcript called "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.

- Changed his signature to the same Potatoes poster, except that it fit inside the sig box.
- Replaced his talk page with the above signature duplicated almost 500 times. However, this has been invisible since the signature was reverted. Because he used {{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} in his talk page, any attempt to view it now results in seeing his current signature instead of the "Potatoes" signature.
- RickTommy
- Changed his user page to look as though it had been vandalized by several different infamous wiki vandals, then included his entire talk history about being blocked across Wikipedia and HRWiki.
- Changed his talk page to look as though 311 different wiki users (he named the first 111, then said "200 more") agreed that he should be taken down, so It's dot com had done it.
- Inspired by Jay's signature prank two years earlier, RickTommy spoofed the aforementioned 111 users' signatures, with a random selection of each one.

[edit] April Fools' 2013
[edit] Main
- 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.

And then we'll go into a quiet little place and have a drink or two,

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. RAHFL", after ROT13, that gives "On your? That's it? On your pile of secret Aztec gold? Or on your car phone? But anyway, yes. ENUSY"

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)
