In the interests of adding to instruction creep :-), we ought to have some ground rules for April Fool's, maybe make a contest out of it, for instance the winner is the hoax that goes the longest without being detected. For instance: * New articles only, we continue to be humorless about edits to existing articles. * Article must be created on 1 April, between 00:00 and 23:59 UTC. * Detection is by the addition of a special template by an editor, who must also add on the talk page the evidence that the article is a hoax. * The winner is the one with the longest time between creation and detection. * Undetected hoaxes must be marked by their creator by the end of April 2; they are also counted as winners. * Winners get moved to WP: namespace, have " (April Fool 2005)" added to the title (in case of inadvertant links from elsewhere), all internal links removed, and are added to a list of winners linked to from BJAODN or some such. * Losers are deleted sometime on April 2. The rules page can be on meta somewhere, linked from a couple relevant places. It works to have it be advertised; more of a challenge to include references etc that can fool a thousand editors already on the outlook for fiction that day. Stan
