This probably calls for more organised planning on a
[[Wikipedia:Project
April Fools 2006]] page, perhaps a month or so in advance. I don't see
anything wrong with what I saw in one iteration of this year's April
Fools main page, which was putting up an FA article about an unusual
subject that wasn't FA before, and putting links to articles such as
[[exploding whale]] as "previous candidates" (well, that particular
version had the toilet roll holder, but that can be replaced with a real
FA). The April Fools FA should go through a normal FA process with the
caveat that it be an FA article for April Fools.
Incidentally, if we do establish some sort of organized April Fools'
Day prank, we may want to ask the folks here for help:
http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. Someone linked it in
#wikipedia; it's like a constant April 1st version of Wikipedia. For
example, see their entry on the Isle of Man: "The Isle of Man does not
exist-Man is not an Isle!"
