Going after vandalism is one thing, going after April Fool articles is quite another.
Not really. Revert a few times (pointing out any descission reached on this issue) then block until midnight UCT if they don't take the hint (I'm aware that this could cause problems in the meta namespace but since that is pretty much admins only any descision on that should be respected) move to BJAODN if you feel like it just like any other silly vandalism .
I can't see us arriving on a consensus to ban all April Fool articles on April 1 (except for the "approved" one). The experience of Friday is that no more vandalism occurs than on a normal day, but one or two unexpected things happen to the main page, navs and screen furniture. This really isn't worth legislating for and certainly is not unexpected activity on April 1. There is in my experience a visible trend to over-react to what was all-in-all a rather enjoyable day.
