I think there should be a policy immediately adopted for all language Wikipedias, against non-legitimate articles on any day of the year, including so called "April Fools Days". While I'm not against humour, they stand to serve no purpose to the project.
This is in regards to hoax news stories on the Catalan and Spanish Wikinewses.

"Date-specific vandalism"? Bit of an inflammatory term, don't you agree?
At any rate, plenty of well-respected journalistic and news authorities aren't above celebrating April Fool's Day. I don't see why we should hold Wikinews to different standards.
