[edit] I've got an idea
We should make the main page template display "March 32nd" rather than April 1st. Of course, all anniversaries would still remain factual and such. But we need something humorous for the day. --Nintendorulez [[User talk:Nintendorulez|talk]] 22:20, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- No, we don't. In my opinion, Wikipedia really, really, really needs to ignore April Fool's and make it hard for people to make "humorous" edits on that day. It is ridiculous enough as it is. mstroeck 19:22, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- I thought the idea was funny. That is, funny to think that someone might take it seriously. We have enough trouble with date articles already. Rklawton 21:45, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
