Revision as of 05:07, 2 April 2012
On April 1st, 2012, the Team Fortress Wiki followed its April Fools' Day tradition.
The entire thing was completely unplanned; the idea and its realization all took place in our IRC channel from March 31st, 13:45 to release on April 1st, 2 AM (GMT-5).
It was a collaborative effort between the following editors:
- Askarmuk (Russian translation)
- Asplode (Finnish translation)
- Armisael (Circular Saw weapon demonstration)
- ballad
- Drunken_F00l (gently trolling the channel)
- Epic Eric (Brazilian Portuguese translation)
- i-ghost (images)
- GianAwesome (Brazilian Portuguese translation)
- Psyke (items)
- Lent (Polish translation)
- Mr. Magoolachub (3D model render)
- Moussekateer (cname record)
- NeoDement
- Plummaster (Russian translation)
- Quinnjdq (Modelled the Circular Circlesaw, did some images)
- RJackson (organization, fake store and news pages, hidden ARG)
- R4wrz0rz0r
- Razor-X (Polish translation)
- Ryo (Spanish translation)
- 'Stache (French translation)
- Stevoisiak
- Stormbird (Russian translation)
- TheRealDoctor
- Weegeetnik (French translation)
- WindPower (organization, hosting, photoshop)
- ~www~ (Chinese translations)
- Yjy950105 (Korean translation)
All the contributions of this event were all publicly visible on the recent changes page. Somehow, nothing leaked until it was released on the following mediums:
The following content was made:
- Fake Ricochet 2 store page
- Fake TF2 news page
- Fake TF2 patch article and translations
- Fake Ricochet 2 article and translations
- Circular Circlesaw and translations, and a weapon demonstration video
- Heartwarming Headache and translations
- Crocketeer's Cloak and translations
- Ricochest and translations
Trivia
- There was hidden text on the background of the fake store page, with a copy of Portal 2 to win. It was found before it was even launched.
- Try clicking the "log in"/"sign in" link in the fake pages.
- Look at Engineer's belt on the Heartwarming Headache infobox image
