Forum:2025 April Fools' brainstorming

‘sup y'all!

Okay, so I saw the April Fools' 2024 brainstorming… and I also really don't want to miss April Fools' this year. So, what shall we as a wiki do for this year? I have a lot of ideas, but I also want to give other people a chance to think up their own ideas. Also a few general guidelines that I think were kind of agreed upon last time.

• We can't really just do nothing, can we?
• We can't lock it behind a gadget.
• Let's not make the wiki unusable.

Alright, let's see what marvelous ideas we come up with! (Also can someone tell me what we did last year?) -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  00:39, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

The general idea of some April fools' thingy is alright with me, however, it must not affect the content of wiki itself substantially. Minecraft/Minceraft is one such thing which does not harm textual comprehension. However, things like random order of sections, replacing "the" with "teh" and the like, are substantially harmful to the wiki, effectively rendering it unusable to various degrees. To that end, I 👁 Image
 very strongly oppose your first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth idea; the third I oppose because of the wording: "big huge announcement"? Keep that to Fandom. The most I support for April fools' is a normal-sized, i.e. up to 5 lines or so, site notice. DarkShadowTNT (talk) 01:53, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, my wording was a little weird there. I was kind of exaggerating when I said that... -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  14:20, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

logo change to minceraft, since it's already a feature, why not have it set to 100% chance on April 1st, no harm done there 👁 Image
MinecraftFan1000 (talk) 17:07, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

I think we did that last year, it's in an archive. I really don't want to repeat the same trick, it's just predictable at that point. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  17:46, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

Idea 1: TNT/Creeper Sounds Playing a 50/50 chance Randomly Every time someone clicks a link, maybe a bit to far fetched.

Idea 2: logo Flipped not the text.

Idea 3: Random page has 50/50 chance of leading to a rickroll, might get copyrighted even if it's a noteblock,

Idea 4: Creeper or any mob walks across the screen, sorta like on User:Zamburger User page.

Idea 5: a link that says, help support us, that leads to a rickroll, still might get copyrighted.

Idea 6: Dark mode becomes light mode and light mode becomes dark mode, sorry to anyone's eyes.

Idea 7: background of the wiki representing the April Fool's update, if it's like the potato one, such as the grass and stone being replaced with the update.

Idea 8: Random photo of Bill gate, it rhymed ok, plus he owns Microsoft, who owns Mojang right?

Idea 9: A Bad Time also rhymes but this is the Minecraft wiki so something like the wiki's logo disappearing and only the text left there maybe?

Idea 10: Minfcraft from Java Edition Beta 1.2 02 (20110517) or Minicraft from Minicraft. 👁 Image
MinecraftFan1000 (talk) 19:24, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

What if there was a js thingy similar to the Minceraft gadget that turned all instances of “the” to “teh”? I'm not sure if it'd confuse the reader enough or not too much, so I'll leave it up to discussion. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  00:39, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

 Oppose. We should avoid affecting too much text comprehension, even if it's only for 1 day. This could turn out being annoying for people with dyslexia, people with reading difficulties, non-English speakers, etc. The "Minceraft" one was perhaps already a little too much regarding this truthfully, but I suppose that at least it didn't appear that often nor impacted reading comprehension that much. - Zamburger (talk) 12:03, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

This is probably too extreme, but what if we switched up the sections a bit bunch and made it so that, for example, if there was a page with sections (Intro), Obtaining, Usage, Sounds, History, Gallery, and Navigation, it'd be Navigation, Gallery, (...) Obtaining, (Intro)? Or if the navboxes and infoboxes were swapped somehow? I'll leave it to y'all to discuss it. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  00:39, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

I know, I know, I'm being ridiculous with the amount of ideas I have. But what if we put a big huge announcement on the main page saying we're pranking our readers and then not actually do anything? This is probably kind of lame and a bit lazy, but I think it's an awesome idea, especially because it's completely harmless. What do you think? -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  00:39, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

This is small, but what if we did a partial editor side prank… and flipped the sidebar? Not much to be said, but let it be known that I don't want this to be limited to desktop. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  00:39, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

What if we made it so that the wiki’s content was all uppercase or lowercase? It's simple and harmless yet silly, but I'm not sure if the community would like it, hence why we're discussing this. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  00:39, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Trust me, this is my last idea (for now). Well, basically my idea is we just swap light and dark modes. It says light mode but it's not and vice versa. It's just an idea really, I'm not sure about it... -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  00:39, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

We're currently debating on whether to create a wiki mascot. What if we come up with a fake mascot and announce that we're adopting it? Some kind of poorly designed or obnoxious concept that we plaster all over the wiki so you can't avoid seeing it. Rampage455 (talk) 01:01, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Now that's an idea! We could revive the actual discussion and then post the fake everywhere, but then implement the real thing. But that's just an additional idea. I also think that if this goes through it has to be reasonable, like, not creating a horrible reader experience. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  01:28, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Actually, I don't think this is exactly the best idea. I think this'd cause some confusion and might ruin the reader experience as well as making the actual mascot potentially look like a hoax. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  03:04, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

This seems the best so far, considering there's already a discussion ongoing (Minecraft Wiki-style, mind you) about a mascot. Assuming it goes through, it might be useful to have the actual mascot ready to be announced on April 2, so it also serves as a kind of announcement. DarkShadowTNT (talk) 01:53, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Depending on the look of the fake mascot and where exactly we decide to put it (social media, logo, header and mainpage?), I think it could be a good one. I think this is one of those cases where someone should come up with a design so this discussion can move forward. - Zamburger (talk) 12:03, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

I'm puttin back @MetalManeMc's idea from last year on the table, as the only opposition at the time was due concerns about changing the wiki's visual style too soon after the fork. I believe that argument is no longer relevant. As a reminder, the proposal was to swap our skin with that of another franchise for a day - Zamburger (talk) 12:03, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

👁 Image
 Neutral despite reviving the idea. I think the challenge would be finding a franchise that enough people recognize (especially one where its wiki is familiar to a large audience). Otherwise, most readers would probably not get the joke (and I don't know if it's desirable). - Zamburger (talk) 12:03, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

Perhaps we could add a custom class in our common.css to rotate images and update some infobox templates to use this class by default. This would be a subtle yet noticeable change without causing any inconvenience (since the images themselves wouldn't be altered -readers could still access the media viewer or the respective file pages as usual if they wanted to view the original images). The best candidate for this is obviously Template:Infobox entity, as the "Dinnerbone" easter egg applies to entities; though it could arguably be extended to Template:Infobox item and Template:Infobox block. - Zamburger (talk) 12:03, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

I like this idea. I also think that this'd have to work on mobile too. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  14:34, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

I also like this idea. I don't know if we can specifically just apply it to {{Infobox entity}}; to do it, we might have to add a line of code to Module:Infobox to rotate the image. I don't mind if it applies to all infoboxes. It would be really great if we could also superimpose the name "Dinnerbone" at the top of the image to really drive it home. I haven't done any coding in Lua before, so I'm not sure if that part would be easy. Rampage455 (talk) 22:54, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

The minecraft wiki logo should be dinnerboned, a nice small touch. 2401:4900:A505:E1CA:0:0:259F:D8D2 08:45, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

 Oppose, not funny and just plain annoying for people who read the wiki. April fools jokes shouldn't affect the site's usability.--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 16:25, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

How would this impact the site's usability? The file itself, the media viewer, and other files would be unaffected. The only situation where this might be an issue is if someone takes screenshots of the infobox images for their own use.

Regarding whether it's funny or not, imo, April Fool's isn't about making people laugh, but more about creating small surprise that make them realize "oh right, it's that goofy day where people do goofy things". - Zamburger (talk) 21:35, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

It impacts usability by flipping the infobox image which is supposed to illustrate the topic of a page. Ideally the user shouldn't have to click on the image to see it in the correct orientation.--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 22:32, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Oppose.

First of all in case what I say makes no sense, there were zero Google results for the big word you used (I didn’t even know that was possible), but I think I get the gist of what you mean so I’m going to try and reply.

It’s true that something doesn’t have to happen on April Fools Day, but the fact remains that that day is there to do ridiculous things and it would be a lot less fun if there was nothing, like if it was Christmas but you didn’t celebrate because it would get in the way of your work schedule. But I do agree that it shouldn’t interfere with reader’s experience. Pokemonster (talk) 02:07, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

Doing nothing is a perfectly valid option. I'm guessing that people want to do something for April Fools' because Mojang usually does something significant. If we choose to do something, it doesn't have to be something so disruptive that it ruins anyone's experience, it's just supposed to elicit a laugh. Rampage455 (talk) 02:59, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

I’m really sorry but I don’t know how to make the tabs where everyone else put their ideas so I’m going to put my idea here. What if doors generated in the margins of the pages and when you opened them there were surprises? Maybe a creeper, a bunch of cats, tnt, a cake, diamonds, the end, just the background color of the page, and other things along those lines. They would only interfere with use slightly and you wouldn’t have to open them if you didn’t want to. Pokemonster (talk) 02:16, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

I like this idea. Though, what would you want your idea's section title to be? I can move it into a section. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  02:35, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

That would be awesome thank you so much basically I would just want it as what I said in the second paragraph with a title like Surprises in the Margins or Doors in the Margins or something like that thank you again Pokemonster (talk) 02:41, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

@Pokemonster, I have moved your idea to a section. You could also edit the section title (the thing between the two ==s). -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  02:46, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

It was more of a joke personal request on Frisk's part, but how about adding movie styled animated sheep on top of header background across all namespaces( to not let it be confused as actuall part of movie theme)?

 Support This has my support. This idea doesn't really take out from reader's experience, its a fun gimmick that might bring smile on one's face, it is very much in theme of upcoming movie that features the now infamous sheep and it just fun. The only issue I see is file size that might take additional bandwidth/time to download, it's a hefty gif. I still think it would be a great and very simple addition to April Fools. Of course file will have to be uploaded onto the wiki before implementation. Frisk (talk) 21:22, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

 Strong support, it's hilarious, ties in with the imminent movie, and most importantly doesn't affect the main content of articles. Additionally, it could play a sheep sound if clicked on maybe?--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 00:41, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

That'd be hilarious if it made a sound! Good idea! -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  00:43, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Love the sound idea, though I suppose a solid implementation which would only target the area where the sheep is would be difficult with it moving on a long gif image, that is unless the gif was more or less a rectangle that was moved by some code or CSS. Frisk (talk) 00:50, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Yeah just tossing the idea around, I have no idea of how difficult it would be to implement, and the moving sheep alone would be enough anyway.--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 01:18, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Nevermind, it does appear that implementation would be near impossible with the current implementation of the sheep which is using a CSS pseudo-element which is not even in DOM and cannot be targeted by JavaScript. Frisk (talk) 09:31, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

While I managed to make it render in correct place on mobile - no matter how hard I try, I can't make it render before search box input - making it unusable. All tries were either ineffective or made search box or other elements switch locations.

So unless someone more competent than me in CSS makes it work, the idea will most likely have to be scraped. Oakar567 (talk) 17:32, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Maybe if there was a smaller mob instead, like a chicken? -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  17:33, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

It will still overlap search box, so it must be rendered behind it no matter what. Oakar567 (talk) 17:34, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

I guess a compromise would be adding a static version of the sheep directly as part of the mobile header. Maybe it could look toward the reader in a bleating pose.--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 17:38, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Mobile header is repeating tiles, too small to put static sheep onto it, which still requires pseudo-element and goes full circle to original problem - overlapping searchbox. Oakar567 (talk) 17:42, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

yeah i'm aware - it should still be on the grass for most resolutions though from what i can tell. it can probably be adjusted - the challenge with position relative on mobile is that it'd otherwise affect the spacing of other html elements. | violine1101 ^(talk) 20:50, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

 Super Strong support It's a really good idea, plus it wouldn't affect the wiki either it would probably be a slider or a toggle switch, to switch it on or off within the front of the screen wherever you go, sorta like when it was the wiki’s birthday the thing appeared everywhere, and would have the potential option to switch between modes or be random without affecting the experience without being a hassle for anyone, also this is like the first time I’ve gave a super long explanation with in or on the wiki that makes sense, now that I say that it doesn't anymore as the text I'm now adding doesn't make any sense anymore I should stop as it would be a waste of wiki resource to just keep typing, well that's what I thought right now until I remembered that the wiki is storing history of every page, except for those disgusting vandals, from what I'm aware of I think the admins can still view them? Anyway, I said, no I'm typing on a keyboard so then I should type I typed, I typed anyway, because anyways is not a word, ok anyway, it’s also a good idea to experiment with what's possible on the wiki, such as a concept like this could be reused in the future for something else, it’s also the only other idea here that seems like a stupidly good idea, I also know one of you guys are wasting your time reading what I just wrought, I mean typed, why am I writing down all my thoughts? 👁 Image

Okay, we've been discussing this for a while now, and we only have a few more days until April. It looks to me like we have a good enough consensus on a few of these ideas. Anyway, what I think we should do:

1. Activate the movie sheep, the mobile floating is okay enough I think.
2. Maybe activate this sort secret settings thingy, idk.
3. To top it all off, say we're not doing anything for April Fools' due to [fill in the blank].

I'd like to propose adding the sheep animation to the bottom of the screen on the wiki, and doing nothing else. An example can be seen at https://mc-dev.weirdgloop.org/

(The snow animation is unrelated other testing going on, ignore that)

I think it's pretty unobtrusive, and I made sure that it shouldn't annoy anyone too much:

• You can click/tap through the sheep.
• On mobile it's smaller to account for the smaller screen size.
• If someone has animations disabled in their system settings, it does not show up.

I don't really like this since there is no way to hide it. It's better at the top of the page. GIM Dianliang233 (talk) 00:00, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

The reason for why I put it on the bottom of the screen is that the gif is too large to fit at the top and needs to be downscaled, which causes some strange pixel artifacts. But looking back at it, that's probably ok.

I'll put the sheep back on top but fix it for mobile. | violine1101 ^(talk) 17:27, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Okay then. By the way, we'll have to activate it at 10:00 UTC, because that's April Fools' in UTC+14, and we'll deactivate it at 12:00 (or 11:00?) two days after that. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  00:15, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

I prefer the sheep on the header, but it's fine either way. No idea if it's doable, but we could have it on the header on desktop and at the bottom of the screen on mobile (so that it doesn't interfere with the search bar or other buttons).--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 14:22, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

I think it's possible, minerva uses different classes then vector so both have separated styling anyway ^^ Oakar567 (talk) 16:50, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

I've now moved it back to the top. @Oakar567 could you upload this gif to the wiki so that we don't need to use Frisk's server for that? | violine1101 ^(talk) 18:07, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

No kidding, I was telling everyone that it was April Fools' lol. ("But it's not April yet!" "It is in India. And Vietnam. And New Zealand.") -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  23:14, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Umm... When will the sheep get disabled? -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  14:35, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

I believe that it was mentioned on Discord it's subtle enough to be kept until the movie's release. :-) - Zamburger (talk) 16:49, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Until the movie is done releasing, you mean? I'm pretty sure it's released in some places over there. (I'm a bit jealous lol) -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  23:23, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Whoa it says I put that comment 4 hours later than I did does that mean I’m in the past or the future dw it’s irrelevant Pokemonster (talk) 02:13, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Time zones! The times after comments are in UTC, which is EDT+4. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  02:14, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Good to know, thank you Pokemonster (talk) 11:48, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
