Wikipedia:April Fools/April Fools' Day 2025

April Fools' Day 2025 marked the twenty-second year that the holiday was celebrated on Wikipedia. The 2025 festivities were noticeably tamer than those of past years. Editors made 228 joke AFD nominations, a decrease from 2024's count of nearly 250 nominations. Highlights of this year's festivities include editors staking out their own "rooms" in the Apartment Complex prank, three themed joke AFD campaigns (including a continuation of Operation Radiance from last year), and various nonsensical edits being made at Wikipedia:Sandbox.

From April 2 through 4, Wikipedians who participated in the festivities held an informal vote to determine the best pranks and prankster of 2025. The winner of the vote is as follows:

• Best joke AfD: ALL CAPS and Graphical user interface (tie with 3 votes)
• Best non-AfD joke: Apartment complex (4 votes)
• Best prankster: AlphaBeta135 (8 votes)

Two additional polls were held this year: a census on the Wikipedians who participated in April Fools' Day 2025 and a vote regarding the best crayon color to eat. The full results of all three polls are available here.

  • It seems as though the discussion for whether the article titles "Captain Underpants and the Invasion of the Incredibly Naughty Cafeteria Ladies from Outer Space (and the Subsequent Assault of the Equally Evil Lunchroom Zombie Nerds)" did not generate enough discussion for any sort of conclusivity to be generated, and as such, there will be no action taken, meaning that until there is some other discussion held at a later time regarding the do-about of this article, the page will remain as-is and will not be deleted, moved, edited, or anything of the like, which is a direct result of people not caring enough to voice their opinion on the topic of this article and its unnecessarily long name, which notoriously causes people to faint should they attempt to read the whole thing out loud — yeah it's that long — and no, I'm not trying to artificially extent this sentence as a prank as that would be an absurd things to do; in fact, there is a legitimate reason for each and every word that I say, so please shut your discourse-motivated mouth and just enjoy the fact that this article remains in its current state all because of this discussion (or lack thereof).
