- 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 ;-).
- 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 third this. It's 2 simple rules that prevent things from getting disruptive and don't block creativity.
P.S. Why are we even talking about April Fools 2 days after the event? Do we really want Michael Snow to get overworked from writing an article about this discussion for the Signpost?
