I'm sorry, but you don't seem to be addressing my question. The kind of stuff we're talking about here isn't a prank, it's articles like [[Exploding whale]] and [[Holy prepuce]], specifically--the kind of article that tends to know the reader out of his passive rut. Surely it's good to have this kind of article all the time, not save them up to take the place of real April fools pranks.
Only one April Fools article is needed per year. The others can and should be eventually on the Main Page - regardless of their FTA date. This time we used them *all* as TFAs before April 1. As we go forward some articles will seem to be candidates for next year's April 1 TFA. Most of those will be supplanted by newer FAs that are even better April 1 candidates. Once that happens the lesser candidates could be a TFA on any other day. But a �best of� short list should be maintained.
