It's nice that someone in the movement still has a sense of humour. Did you see the English Wikipedia's TFA box?

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Today%27s_featured_article/requests&oldid=651029553#April_1

"Support running as a straight ornithology article, with no attempt to be funny; Oppose any version played for laughs where the blurb is intentionally misleading. This make-the-blurb-misleading "tradition" is a legacy of Raul and should have been jettisoned a decade ago; it makes a mockery of genuinely important topics, it's incomprehensible to those in parts of the world which don't observe April Fools (that the stream of complaints it generate every year are always scrubbed from Talk:Main page and the complainants sneered at for not getting the joke, doesn't mean they're not genuine complaints), and it means anything that has genuine date significance for April 1 gets bumped to make way for cack-handed jokes. Yes, DYK and OTD still do this (although ITN doesn't), but "the standards of DYK" is not something that TFA should set as its ambition. – iridescent 21:36, 15 February 2015 (UTC) "
