As such, I propose two simple rules for next year:
1) There will be one well-coordinated joke for the *outside* world, Whether it's a featured article, a press release, or anything else can be decided by the cabal on the to-be-created fools-l@wikimedia.org mailing list ;-).
2) Jokes *within* the community are limited to the Wikipedia:, User: and *Talk: namespaces. MediaWiki:, Template:, Image: and articles are off limits. Jokes should not be overly disruptive.
I second this.
