Final name of "General Tomfoolery"/"Other Pranks" section
For the final title of the miscelaneous joke section, I propose making it the last title of April Fools Day. If the title would bring disrepute on Wikipedia (i.e.e its racist), then I reccomend moving back until an approrpiate title is found. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 00:48, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Tense used in AfDs
Please take seriously
The bulleted list of joke AfDs (link) currently seems to be using the format of something like:
The 'is' is also sometimes a 'was'. (?) I think that the correct word there should be has been, as it represents something ongoing which has started in the past. (Right?) I made that change in an edit. However, it was quickly reverted. Therefore, I have come to the talk page to prevent edit warrring. >>BEANS X2t
05:56, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- I also suggest linking to Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2020_April_1#April_Fools'_Day_nominations somewhere in the section for easy reference.

RfC about edit warring and vandalism on the yearly April Fools page
I created a RfC on the Rules for Fools talk page for the edit warring and vandalism that has been occuring on the individual yearly April Fools documentation pages since 2017 and have gotten way too out of hand in the past two years. 107.77.173.61 (talk) 10:26, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Still vandalism
People are still continuing to vandalize this page, more protection is probs necessary — Preceding unsigned comment added by Homeofthething (talk • contribs) 17:28, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Koridas stop this nonsense before the admins get involved
We have made it pretty clear we will stop at 12:00 am April 2nd and we're just joking around with an edit war (Since it's April Fools and it seems to fit the guidelines). What's with the big deal now? Why are you trying to put a stop now instead of 5 hours ago? And how does this not fit the guidelines. We're just trying to have fun for just one day. OcelotCreeper (talk) 17:46, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Yea why can't we have some fun while we are couped up at home?JustAnotherWikiUser0816 (talk) 17:57, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Also, there are current boundaries I have, like the lyrics for thr rick astley song, since that is a copyright violation, and blanking of all of the other content. OcelotCreeper (talk) 18:00, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
OcelotCreeper, it is literally telling you at the top not to vandalize the page. Koridas (Speak) 18:04, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Koridas 1. This was never an issue last year 2. Why stop us now this late into the day and not hours ago? 3. Its one header thats it. JustAnotherWikiUser0816 (talk) 18:05, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
JustAnotherWikiUser0816, let me rephrase something.
April Fool's Day is not an excuse for violating Wikipedia's policies and guidelines
— The template right at the top
It doesn't matter if it wasn't the same last year. Rules change. They don't last forever. Koridas (Speak) 18:07, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Koridas Still why stop us this late in the day? JustAnotherWikiUser0816 (talk) 18:09, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
JustAnotherWikiUser0816, I may be in a different time zone then you. it's only 10:00 where I am.
- It's already 6PM UTC there are only 6 hours left to mess around with the title.JustAnotherWikiUser0816 (talk) 18:13, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- JustAnotherWikiUser0816, exactly. I'm glad we don't have to have the title messed up a whole bunch of times. Koridas (Speak) 18:15, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Wait as far as I can tell your the only one that is arguing against us, and your a 2 month old user , while many of us are much older than that (Not like that matters much but it is something to note.) JustAnotherWikiUser0816 (talk) 18:16, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- JustAnotherWikiUser0816, Nice try, I am younger than you all, but I have more edits than you all. So I do have experience, even though I'm 2 months old. Koridas (Speak) 18:18, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Yea but you aren't a mod or anything, your on the same level as all of us, so as of rn we outnumber you.... JustAnotherWikiUser0816 (talk) 18:19, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- JustAnotherWikiUser0816, Neither are you. You aren't even extended-confirmed. Koridas (Speak) 18:23, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Koridas There is a long-standing consensus that April Fools' Day jokes are allowed and a proposal to ban the Great Edit War this yearfailed to gain consensus. I am going to respectfully request that you either allow April Fools to continue or that the admins take a formal action that adequately accounts for why this is such an emergency that WP:consensus has to be overruled. (Also, this is rather plainly not a real edit war but a community exercise in silliness.) Spirit of Eagle (talk) 18:20, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
How many edits do you currently have? Because in 2 weeks, I already had 350 edits. OcelotCreeper (talk) 18:20, 1 April 2020 (UTC) @Kordias: Hello? Are you going to leave us here unanswered? OcelotCreeper (talk) 18:30, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- OcelotCreeper, stop being so impatient, some guy kept on leaving messages on my talk pages. BTW I had 300 edits in the first week. I now almost have 15,000 edits and you don't even have 1000 edits. Koridas (Speak) 18:33, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Koridas, Please stop your nonsense. You're annoying others and it's getting in people's way. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 18:37, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Also, Edits != Experience. Seriously. You're sounding very arrogant. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 18:38, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Moonythedwarf, I like how you guys all get pissed off at me for trying to help the community, but now everyone's being a little bitch now even though I haven't done anything to them. Koridas (Speak) 18:48, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Also, Edits != Experience. Seriously. You're sounding very arrogant. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 18:38, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Koridas, Please stop your nonsense. You're annoying others and it's getting in people's way. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 18:37, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
@Koridas:@Moonythedwarf: Exactly. It could be the smallest 1000 edits are actually in a way harmful, and it could be that the edits one does are small, while others with less edits have more power technically because theirs are big edits. Not saying anything about your edit size, just that saying edits = experience makes you sound like the world revolves around you. OcelotCreeper (talk) 18:43, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- OcelotCreeper, Well it kind of does since I'm the only one who doesn't vandalize the page. Koridas (Speak) 18:45, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Ok I am actually about to get higher powers involved @Koridas: seeing as you are attacking Eagle and acting very arrogant as if you were a mod. Please stop before you really screw up. JustAnotherWikiUser0816 (talk) 18:46, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- JustAnotherWikiUser0816, Go ahead, honestly I don't give a fuck what you do. Koridas (Speak) 18:49, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Self-jokes not allowed?
Rephrased heading. –ToxiBoi! (contribs) 18:26, 1 April 2020 (UTC) Alright, as I promised, I will attempt to open discussion. I've attempted to add this to the page twice:
- User:ToxiBoi was skewed, warned, and participated in LTA in one day.
- User:ToxiBoi~pub is no longer the best squad and is established as a paid editor.
- In addition to that, their page was promptly fool-y protected due to COI issues on their user page (diff).
- Does me adding this sequence here count as COI?
- In addition to that, their page was promptly fool-y protected due to COI issues on their user page (diff).
And each time I got reverted for vague reasons. (The first revert might've been a mistake, but I'm just plain confused about the second one). Could someone please help out and tell me why this content is unwelcome in the article? –ToxiBoi! (contribs) 18:18, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Pinging Koridas because they seem to still be active. JAWU0816 responded on their talk. –ToxiBoi! (contribs) 18:20, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- ToxiBoi, If you vandalize, then no. Koridas (Speak) 18:33, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- ToxiBoi, I've told them off. What you were doing is fine. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 18:37, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
