==Instructions== | |||
* When April Fool's Day begins: | |||
*# Upload all relevant articles, images, and wiki changes. | |||
*# Update the front page so that it somehow shows the joke. Featured article, News, etc. | |||
*# Tweet something related to the joke to lure people in, and post it on Facebook. | |||
* To finish the joke: | |||
*# Move all created articles to subpages under [[Pikipedia:{{BASEPAGENAME}}]], with redirects. | |||
*# For each made-up article: | |||
*## Add a <nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:}}</nowiki> tag to the top that sets the page title, as to remove the "Pikipedia:April Fool's Day/" part. | |||
*## Add an {{tem|afd}} template above everything in the page. | |||
*## Make sure it is not categorized (except for [[:Category:April Fool's Day]]). If you want, replace existing maintenance templates with calls to {{tem|box}}. | |||
*## If there is a possibility that users can stumble into this page while searching for something similar, place a [[:Category:Disambiguation link templates|disambiguation template]]. | |||
*## Check [[Special:WhatLinksHere|what links to the old page name]], and make all links point directly to the new page's location. This includes other April Fool's Day articles as well. | |||
*# Create sections on [[Pikipedia:{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] explaining this year's jokes. | |||
*# Update [[Template:News]] to mention the fact that we made a joke, and link to [[Pikipedia:{{BASEPAGENAME}}]]'s respective section. | |||
* Things to keep in mind: | |||
** Calls to templates like {{tem|todo}} or {{tem|image}} should use <code>nocat=y</code>. | |||

Here's an idea: Rewriting the main page like a Garfielf script. Thing is, we have to keep it family-friendly, so this idea might fall short. Plus, it needs to be done really well. There's a difference between being "lulz so randooom XDDD" and being actually goofy and funny. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 15:08, 31 March 2017 (EDT) | Here's an idea: Rewriting the main page like a Garfielf script.
