Wikipedia:April Fools/April Fools' Day 2103

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page documents pranks done in honour of the 200th year of Wikipedia's April Fools' Day celebrations since 1804. Due to mass human migration to Mars, this year's April Fools' pranks are mainly limited to perennial articles for deletion nominations written by bots.

Deletion nominations

[edit]
  • The result was next year, we can do it.
  • However, the AfD was soon re-opened, ostensibly for re-litigation in 2104.
  • The person who re-opened the AfD was blocked for their POINTy behaviour.
  • A bureaucrat soon stripped the admin rights from the blocking admin.
  • A sockpuppet investigation reveals that the account who re-opened the AfD is actually the sockpuppet of the bureaucrat. Their bureaucrat rights were duly stripped and their sockpuppets blocked.
  • This saga lasted until June 14, when Witt would have celebrated his 103rd birthday.
  • All while the AfD stayed open.
  • Earth was nominated for deletion for the 98th time.
  • The result was so long, Earth.
  • The result was moved to Mars.
  • It was quickly spammed with dozens of primitive AI-esque messages, along with callbacks to the ChatGPT era of robotics.
  • The result was a paragraph long, starting with I think this article should be deleted.
