Team Fortress Wiki talk:April Fools' Day

What to do for this year's April Fools?

I'm quite curious to know of what stuff will happen this year, I'm really interested in doing this. Things I have in mind:

-The special crate (see the gallery in Mann Co. Supply Crate) -Banhammer (there's a model of it somewhere) -More fake TF2 news

And that's all I can think of, but I'll get some other ideas in mind Redconer «C | T» 19:35, 8 February 2014 (PST)

We discussed already in IRC, there's no April Fool for this year. Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 21:32, 8 February 2014 (PST)

Why not? Redconer «C | T» 06:28, 9 February 2014 (PST)

Due bad attitude of community after we did for 3 years, the community hates wiki a lot and try to insert gibberish and non-sense things to wiki. Please understand. Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 07:37, 9 February 2014 (PST)

Bummer.

So in conclusion, April Fools 2014 is cancelled, and possibly for subsequent years. I was think of falsely reporting That Valave approved Adult Swim to make 26 episode of "Cooking with Heavy", essentially Heavy making Sandviches and Jarate Slurpees, etc.   Heeeeyyyy, everybody! It's Meester Tweester!   08:49, 1 April 2014 (PDT)

at least mention it and the fake patch for it Ilikethelugeranddemopan (talk) 02:17, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

2022?

Are there plans for April Fool's 2022? Just wondering. Lolimsogreat21 (talk) 23:00, 13 February 2022 (UTC)Lolimsogreat21

No, but we are always open to suggestions and ideas. Basic requirements are: the event should be bigger than its predecessor and preparations should be completed by March 28. — Tark 02:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

My idea, but may not be bigger than the one from last year: "Official Engineer Gaming Wiki":

• Replaces every class on the main page with Engineer (except Spy that it's him, on the BLU team, but has an Engineer mask, but still links to the Engineer page);

• "Latest Wiki Cap recipients" is replaced with "Latest Engineer's Cap recipients";

• "Featured article": Engineer;

• "Did you know" is only facts about Engineer;

• "Cosmetics" and "Weapons" icons must include Engineer only;

• Make a .css or script or something, that hides all images that doesn't have "Engineer" on the filename, but making an exception to include all images for Engineer-only cosmetics. Bonus points if it's possible to actually hide each class section on the "Gallery" for all-class items, as opposed to making the image invisible. As if only Engineer was there;

• Replace "cosmetic item for all classes" for "cosmetic item for the Engineer";

• Put this page somewhere, idk.

Not sure if that's impossible to do or the heavy work is too much for a single day, just a random suggestion that I thought about it. - ▪ - 00:14, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

I propose to add a demonstration of the dispenser but the video turns more creepy · Ashe (talk) 03:02, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

I have another idea, which is good but might be difficult to execute: Introducing Gentelmann.co wiki

• Replace every class page with a more verbose version of itself. Similar to what I did to Medic in User:Lolimsogreat21/Sandbox2. So far, I only managed to "verbosilize" the first three sections, but if we get enough participants this April Fools, we can do it to other nine classes as well.

Hey, nice to see some action! Please make sure to create a dedicated project page to discuss the event.

(also, here's my "pirate" filter: User:Tark/common.js - to enable it, copy everything inside the "A22" (L233-288) block) — Tark 19:35, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
