This page documents the changes that have been made to the wiki on [[April Fools' Day]].

== April Fools' 2006 ==

=== Main ===

* [[Main Page]] changed to [[HRWiki:April Fools' 2006 Main Page|WikkiTikkiTavi Main Page]].
* Monobook skin changed to tavistyle. As a ''side effect'' of the changes that were made, the other skins in the list stopped functioning correctly.
* [[HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 11|Mass public outcry]]
* [[HRWiki:A History]] [[HRWiki:A History|modified]] to reflect the downgrade
* There was sufficient demand ''after'' April 1 that the TaviStyle skin was made a permanent choice in the user [/wiki/Special:Preferences preferences].

==== Related ====

* [http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/wiki/ Fanstuff Wiki] put up a fake "You have new messages" banner on the main page. All of the tab titles were changed. Users who wished to complain were directed to [/wiki/Special:MyTalk their own talk page]. The sidebar and some of the other messages were also modified.

After a short time, an "Info" link was added announced the [[HRWiki:2007 Spring Fundraising Drive|2007 Spring Fundraising Drive]] with [[HRWiki:2007 Spring Fundraising Drive|another message]] that read, "Scary thought, huh?

Please don't edit your sig today. Yes, other people did it, but each time they did it really bogged down the server.

Thanks for understanding.

''the How Page Main on Fools' 2008. Day looked April''

* Every page on the website, except Special pages, [/wiki/Special:Scramble scrambled] the words within each block of text, so that something like the following:

''I'm The Homestar Runner! Some folk say I'm a terrific athlete.''

 Might appear instead as:
 ''Some Homestar I'm say Runner! terrific a folk I'm athlete. The''

* The logo was [http://hrwiki.org/skins/common/images/wiki-apr1.gif changed] to show Homestar's torso instead of head, and the words "Wiki" and "Homestar Runner" were switched top to bottom. (Homestar still blinked as he [[Homestar Peeking|peeked]] over the word "Wiki".)

=== Main ===

* There were [[HRWiki:April Fools' 2009 Ads|ads for Homestar Runner products]] at the top of each page with the note "Ads by [[Bookazon]]".

== April Fools' 2010 ==

=== Main ===

* The wiki's official name was changed to the '''[[Dumb Animal Characters]] Wiki''', with the [[Main Page|main page]] and logo edited to reflect the change.
* If you tried to change your signature, the system would automatically change it instead to a random nickname from the list below, which came from one of the [[Strong Bad Emails]] or the [[Nicknames]] page (bold entries were chosen by the system at some point during the day):

Baron von Flexmypecs, Clever Dan, Cornbread, Crapface, '''Dead Guy Perez''', DJ Dumpy Dump, Doodieman, Dumbname, Dumpface, Dumpus, Elizagerth, Genghis Khan't, Helvetica, '''Meatball Face Butt''', Miss America, '''Miss July''', Mr. Nobody, '''Mr. Prancy-time''', Mr. Smarty-Spots, Ol' Bone Legged, Ol' Butt Patterson, Ol' Dumps, '''Prancibald''', '''Rondleman''', Rotting-Dragonsmith, Sir Dumpenheimer, Strong Mad's Girlfriend, That Freakin' Marshmallow, That Stupid Wheelchair Kid, '''The Dapper Swindler''', The Elephant Man, The Human Grate-On-My-Nerves, '''The Human Wedgie''', '''The King of the Dregs''', The Over-Achiever Bandit, The Queen of Pay-Per-View, '''This Little Weirdo''', '''Valerie''', '''Weird Snake Joe''', '''Wiggidy-wiener''', '''Worldwide Starlet'''

* Signatures were in the form: [/wiki/Special:MyPage Clever Dan] ([/wiki/Special:MyTalk Talk]). The colors were chosen at random from a list that included [[Fortune Cookies|yellow]] and white.
* If you tried to change your signature a second time, you were presented with a fake edit conflict preventing it. (This was for system performance reasons more than to be funny, so that ideally each signature template would not be edited more than once during the day.)
* If you tried to change your preferences, it would result in a message of "Meh, your preferences are probably fine and you shouldn't change them" to prevent you from pointing to a different signature page in your preferences.
* Everyone except developers lost the rights to create pages or move subpages, to avoid the creation of alternate signature pages. (This had the side effect of preventing uploads.)

* The forum was changed to the H. Star Forum: A companion to the Dumb Animal Characters Wiki. Names and descriptions of the various subforums were tweaked, and [[Xeriouxly Forxe Character Variations|H. Star]] was shown as seen in [[Xeriouxly Forxe]].

=== Users ===

* [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]]
** Inspired by the sight of his signature automatically becoming "Worldwide Starlet," [[User:Bad Bad Guy|revised User Page intro]] to include Valspeak.
* [[User:ColdReactive|ColdReactive]]
** Complete overhaul of [[User:ColdReactive|user page]], [[User:ColdReactive|signature]], navigation and abandoned a personal image purposely for the holiday. The theme used for this was based on a popular [[Bullet hell|bullet hell]] game called [[Touhou]], as indicated by an image provided on the page.
* [[User:Color Printer|Color Printer]]
** Facts on user page were all [[User:Color Printer|changed to falsehoods]]. Most of the facts now said the opposite of the truth.
** He later [[User:Color Printer|whited the font on the page]] and an "error message" was visible.
* [[User:Dagoth|Dagoth]]
** Replaced his user page with a part of the transcript of the movie [[Pi (film)|Pi]], a giant [[Postal 2|POSTAL2]] poster, and the words "Hey, [[Maryse Ouellet|Maryse!]] Where ya been all my life?".
** Replaced all instances of the letter Y with the Dutch letter [[IJ (digraph)|IJ]] on his talk page.
** Replaced his signature with a giant POSTAL2 logo. He tried to fix it at one point, but it turned into the Miss July one, which required intervention from [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]].
* [[User:Fangoriously|Fangoriously]]
** [[User:Fangoriously|User page re-written]] in the style of typical newbish users'.
** [[User:Fangoriously/SIGGY HERE!|Signature]] changed to read, "May I please use the compyuter?"
* [[User:Jay|Jay]]
** Changed user page to a false [[Strong Bad Email]] transcript called [[User:Jay|"election day"]]. Most of the links on the "election day" page were misleading (for instance, "Strong Bad" in the cast list led to "Strong Mad", and a Wikipedia link reading "G.I. Joe" instead linked to "Kim Possible".) For reference, "election day" was previously written as a failed attempt at an April Fools' Day gag in 2007.
* [[User:Movie magic man|Movie magic man]]
** [[User:Movie magic man|User page changed]] to appear as though there was no content.
** [[User:Movie magic man|Talk page appeared]] as though it were the talk page of a deleted article.
* [[User:Religious Corn|Religious Corn]]
** Changed all character quotes [[User:Religious Corn|to Homsar quotes]].
* [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]]
** [[User:RickTommy|Changed user page]] into deliberately poor [[French]], and [[User:RickTommy|added the first line]] that each main character ever spoke to the bottom of user page.
** [[User:RickTommy/sig|Tried]] to change his signature to an image of one of [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]]'s comments, but it was automatically changed.
* [[User:SamuelGuy10|SamuelGuy10]]
** [[User:SamuelGuy10|Changed his user page]] to say we can't deny that he doesn't exist.
** [[User talk:SamuelGuy10|Changed his talk page]] to say, "No more please you are hurting my family".
* [[User:Shine Sprite|Shine Sprite]]
** [[User:Shine Sprite|Replaced every character on his user page]] with a "?", to make it appear as though he was using a font that the user viewing did not have installed on his computer.
* [[User:StrongAwesome74|StrongAwesome74]]
** [[User:StrongAwesome74/sig|Attempted]] to break signature so all following text would appear white, but failed.
* [[User:Super Martyo Brother|Super Martyo Brother]]
** Changed his user page to a short paragraph in Japanese about a [[User:Super Martyo Brother|boy named Jiro]], which was followed by a picture of the user holding a sign that read "I AM MAKING A JOKE".
* [[User:That'sBupkis|That'sBupkis]]
** All user page content [[User:That'sBupkis|turned into MediaWiki Syntax]], and signature linked to [/wiki/Special:Random the random page function].
* [[User:The Knights Who Say Ni|The Knights Who Say Ni]]
** [[User:The Knights Who Say Ni|Changed user page]] to make it look as though it had been vandalized by Lumpy.
* [[User:The thing|The thing]]
** Made user page [[User:The thing|say that he was "EXTRAPERMANENTLY BLOCKED".]]
** [[User:The thing/sig|Attempted]] to change sig to "Barack Obama" but it was automatically changed.
* [[User:YK|YK]]
** [[User:YK|Replaced user page]] with the entirety of the [[Cheese]] page.

== April Fools' 2011 ==

=== Main ===

* Homestar was much more animated than usual. Sometimes he would appear upside-down and then fall from the top. Other times he'd peek in from the corners. Occasionally he'd be missing altogether. From time to time he'd say "Boring!" or, after looking around, say "Um... what's going on here?" These actions repeated randomly.

=== Users ===

* [[User:ColdReactive|ColdReactive]]
** Changed his [[User:ColdReactive/sig&oldid=719442|signature]] and [[User:ColdReactive|user page]] to act as if he was taking census for the HRWiki users, although no one had turned theirs in on his [[User talk:ColdReactive|talk page]].
* [[User:Dagoth|Dagoth]]
** Changed his user page to say it was bought out by Australian rock band [[TISM]].
** Changed his talk page to various wiki warning templates.
* [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]]
** [[User:Heimstern Läufer&oldid=719651|Changed his user page]] to read "poop lol".
* [[User:Homestar-Winner|Homestar-Winner]]
** Replaced his [[User:Homestar-Winner&oldid=719684|user page]] with an image of Whatsit, increased to 1000px.
* [[User:Jay|Jay]]
** Changed his [[User:Jay/sig&oldid=719670|signature]] to look as though it was various Homestar-related quotes, including three from fanmade emails, and one from his video game "Jay's Journey". Full list [[User talk:Jay|here]].
** Changed his [[User:Jay&oldid=719675|user page]] to repeatedly refer to "talking kitties", the obsession of Max of Jay's Journey.
* [[User:JCM|JCM]]
** Changed his [[User:JCM/sig&oldid=719720|signature]] to look like [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]'s.
** Changed his [[User:JCM&oldid=719724|userpage]] to its first, disturbingly cheesy revision.
* [[User:MichaelXX2|MichaelXX2]]
** Changed [[User:MichaelXX2&oldid=719694|every]] [[User talk:MichaelXX2&oldid=719725|single]] [[User:MichaelXX2/Archives&oldid=719657|one]] [[User:MichaelXX2/sig&oldid=719662|of]] [[User:MichaelXX2/Awards&oldid=719664|his]] [[User:MichaelXX2/nav&oldid=719658|pages]] to have various screenshots from the [[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]] TV show and Moonbase Alpha meme quotes, the most infamous one including a very intrusive signature that lasted throughout the majority of the day.
* [[User:Power Pie|Power Pie]]
** Translated both her [[User:Power Pie&oldid=719702|userpage]] and her [[User talk:Power Pie&oldid=719703|talk page]] into binary.
* [[User:Purple Wrench|Purple Wrench]]
** [[User:Purple Wrench&oldid=719633|Changed his user page]] to a very large version of the "Potatoes" poster from [[pet show]]. Clicking on it gave a YouTube link to [[pet show]] starting at the appropriate time.
** [[User:Purple Wrench/sig&oldid=719638|Changed his signature]] to the same Potatoes poster, except that it fit inside the sig box.
** [[User talk:Purple Wrench&oldid=719635|Replaced his talk page]] with the above signature duplicated almost 500 times. However, this has been invisible since the signature was reverted. Because he used {{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} in his talk page, any attempt to view it now results in seeing his current signature instead of the "Potatoes" signature.
* [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]]
** Changed his [[User:RickTommy&oldid=719665|user page]] to look as though it had been vandalized by several different infamous wiki vandals, then included his entire talk history about being blocked across Wikipedia and HRWiki.
** Changed his [[User talk:RickTommy&oldid=719666|talk page]] to look as though 311 different wiki users (he named the first 111, then said "200 more") agreed that he should be taken down, so [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] had done it.
** Inspired by [[User:Jay|Jay]]'s signature prank two years earlier, RickTommy [[User:RickTommy/sig&oldid=719680|spoofed the aforementioned 111 users' signatures]], with a random selection of each one.
* [[User:SamuelGuy10|SamuelGuy10]]
** Just as The Knights Who Say Ni had done a year earlier, he [[User:SamuelGuy10&oldid=719644|changed his user page]] to make it look like it had been vandalized by Lumpy.
** [[User:SamuelGuy10/sig&oldid=719643|Changed his signature]] to read "Backwards G".
* [[User:Super Martyo Brother|Super Martyo Brother]]
** [[User:Super Martyo Brother&oldid=719652|Made his user page]] look as though something had happened to it.
** [[User:Super Martyo Brother/sig&oldid=719650|Changed his signature]] to read, "Thissss issss my sssssignature".

** Changed his [[User:RickTommy/sig&oldid=729874|signature]] to read, ""Yoshi! Yoshi!" "'Cause that's totally the way I talk."" with a picture of a Yoshi sprite at the end, and the last sentence linking to [[fan club]], the toon where a similar line comes from.

* [[User:The thing|The thing]]
** Changed his [[User:The thing|user page]] and [[User:The thing/sig|signature]] to be typed in Yiddish.

== April Fools' 2013 ==

=== Main ===

* All the page and tab links were changed to redirect to random pages. Where practical, the links stayed within the same namespace: Links for articles pointed to random articles, talk pages to random talk pages, project pages to random project pages, user pages to random user pages (not including user subpages), and so on. In addition, the tabs kept their functions: Clicking edit on an article would open an edit window of a random article; clicking history would show you the history of a different page in that namespace. For simplicity, generated links (like diffs on history pages and the recent changes page), interwiki links, and links to special pages just pointed to the main namespace. The sidebar links, personal user links (at the top of the page), and external links went unchanged.

=== Users ===

** Changed his user page to a notification saying that it was bought out by [[Anthony Kiedis]] among others.

* [[User:The Knights Who Say Ni|The Knights Who Say Ni]]
** Deliberately [[User:The Knights Who Say Ni|spammed]] his user page.

Decoded from hex ASCII, this is "[[trevor the vampire|Ba lbhe? Gung'f vg?]] Ba lbhe [[couch patch|cvyr bs frperg Nmgrp tbyq]]? Be ba lbhe [[dangeresque 3|pne cubar]]? Ohg naljnl, lrf. http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Venusy[[User:Venusy|'''RAHFL''']]", after [[ROT13]], that gives "[[trevor the vampire|On your?

Which is [[Braille]] for "Huh? I Definately said "on my hands" at the end there... anyway, that was fun, let's not do it again. (Incidentally, what are the chances of this ending up on your baleeted nonsense page?) --[[User:Phlip|phlip]] [[User talk:Phlip|T]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Phlip C]" – if you can't read it (if you don't have the appropriate font) you can see it [http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/7307/braille5ab.png here]. Venusy couldn't read it, so that's where the conversation ended.

The '''"XL ProTime VHS/VCR Player"''' is the brand of [[Videocassette recorder]] that appears in various [[toons]] and was first seen in [[Strong Bad Email]] [[12:00]].  The mechanical issues such as tracking problems, visible vertical rainbow, and the ubiquitous blinking 12:00 are a running joke. It is usually seen on top of the [[Telebision]].
