Editing Pikipedia talk:April Fool's Day

==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:
*# Revert the affected pages.
*# 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, use <code>nocat=y</code> on the templates, or replace them with raw 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.

==Untitled comment==
Pikipedia seems to be very proud of their joke.  [[File:KDDD_sig.png|link=http://pikminwiki.com/User:Kirbyddd]]
:Yes, it was accepted pretty well, from the people I asked. The images and the text turned out quite well. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 12:52, 8 April 2015 (EDT)

==New idea==
Create a page for ''Pikmin 4'', and a warning on the main page for something like "Pikmin 4 has been confirmed! Click here for all the info we know.", and it leads to a page with just "We know nothing so far." We got this idea while talking on Skype. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:19, 16 August 2015 (EDT)

==More Bolbertness==
The Red Bulborb isn't the only enemy that can pull off stupid faces. Ever tried pausing while an enemy like a Puffy Blowhog is shaking away Pikmin? We can probably make up some type of virus and claim that one out of every thousands of enemies (like Shinies in Pokémon) are a derpy variant. Then we include a gallery of different enemies doing different derpy things. I think this time it would make more sense to consider them as actually goofy, and not "majestic" like we did with the Bolbert. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 07:32, 24 November 2015 (EST)

==Weird skin==
Maybe we could screw up the background so that it's all weird and strange, and then we mess around with the sidebar a bit, so its links send people to the wrong page, which would really throw people off... That might be a little too destructive and confusing for users, so I'm not sure if it's the best idea, but it'd definitely be something. {{User:PikFan23/sig}} 16:00, 7 December 2015 (EST)


==I dunno, what about this==

You could do something with Pikmin four, someone could make art and put it as the backround, then Nintendo screws us over with real Pikmin 4... [[User:Pikifan4|Pikifan4]] ([[User talk:Pikifan4|talk]]) 12:33, 28 January 2016 (EST)
:I already suggested a Pikmin 4 article earlier. But we could try to make a really crappy fake pass off as real. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:31, 19 January 2016 (EST)
::Well, that sounds reasonable but  we could get some art, someone could request Scruffy makes some art for it. I do like the Derpy enemy idea though. We could also do something Using G-mod, we could make a FPS in Pikmin.... [[User:Pikifan4|Pikifan4]] ([[User talk:Pikifan4|talk]]) 12:33, 28 January 2016 (EST)
:::Also we should do some model viewer for all the enemies to show their models animations. [[User:Pikifan4|Pikifan4]] ([[User talk:Pikifan4|talk]]) 12:33, 28 January 2016 (EST)
::::I dunno, was there a specific person/persons that put up the Bolbort joke? [[User:Pikifan4|Pikifan4]] ([[User talk:Pikifan4|talk]]) 14:16, 28 January 2016 (EST)
:::::You can check a page's history from the buttons at the top of each page. I added the article, but I didn't make the joke. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 16:03, 28 January 2016 (EST)
:::Oh nononono, if we made a Pikmin 4 page we would get a really big backlash from the community. --[[User:Nvortex|Nvortex]] ([[User talk:Nvortex|talk]]) 14:09, 27 February 2016 (EST)

==Fitness White Pikmin==
http://i.imgur.com/1FtoUn2.png i was once listening to a pikmin song on youtube and got this hillarious accidental image thanks to an ad. Althrough i am not exactly sure how a page about this would be written.

==Any ideas?==

Has anyone got any new ideas for the new April fools' joke? so far we only have the Fitness white Pikmin and fake Pikmin 4, we could make something like a Fitness Pikmin family. If you have any ideas be sure to post them here. --[[User:Nvortex|Nvortex]] ([[User talk:Nvortex|talk]]) 14:07, 27 February 2016 (EST)

==Pikmin Fates==
''Fire Emblem Fates'' has been causing some controversy lately. How about we have some fun with it and pretend that Nintendo unveiled the next Pikmin game, called ''Pikmin Fates''? We pretend that Nintendo did not unveil much, except for the general storyline and look, but most importantly, also all of the subjects that raised controversy for ''Fire Emblem Fates''. So we'd have an article saying how it has a release date for whatever, say that the game has this and that for story, and say that in the Japanese version, you can pet Pikmin and leaders, but this gets removed for the American release. We can mock other things of the sort that are controversial in ''Fire Emblem Fates''. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:20, 27 February 2016 (EST)

:We can't forget to add the censorship issues--[[User:Nvortex|Nvortex]] ([[User talk:Nvortex|talk]]) 14:27, 27 February 2016 (EST)

::While I don't personally like this idea, I agree Fire Emblem is big and this would be interesting. [[User:Pikifan4|Pikifan4]] ([[User talk:Pikifan4|talk]]) 16:35, 12 March 2016 (EST)

== Next April Fools day ==

Okay we can change the logo on Midnight on April first and make it a Bulborb, then 24 hours later, revert it. TabuuandPeach [[File:MarchShroomCertificateA.jpg|40px]] 10:03, 31 July 2016 (EDT)

== Stupid writing ==
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. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 15:08, 31 March 2017 (EDT)

== The wiki, but written by a character ==
Tying a bit with my previous suggestion, and also inspired by Smash Wiki's "Rikipedia", we could have a version of the main page as if it were written by one of the series's characters, filled with their personality and biases. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 17:14, 31 March 2017 (EDT)
