SmashWiki:April Fools': Difference between revisions

<!--==2012== ...was there anything major before this?-->

===2013===

In 2013, it was announced that the wiki would be turning into a French-language wiki. The main page and all its constituent templates were translated to suit. In addition, several of the links were replaced with links to either the [[Wombo Combo]] page or the related video.

===2014===

In 2014, several pranks were pulled by various users:

*The wiki's main skin was modified to resemble [http://blog.codinghorror.com/a-tribute-to-the-windows-31-hot-dog-stand-color-scheme/ the Hot Dog Stand skin of Windows 3.1], with garish red and yellow backgrounds with red, yellow, white, and black text. Earlier iterations surrounded links in a black background, but this was removed after usability complaints.

===2015===

In 2015, the wiki became SmashRiki in honor of [[Riki]], a character from ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' who appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''SSB4''. The main page was changed to match Riki's speaking style, and the color scheme changed to Riki's colors.

*Like the year before, the NIWA News' "upcoming games" included several nonexistent games.

===2018===

The main page is rewritten to be in [[User:Toomai/Toomarian|Toomarian]], a reference to [[wikipedia:Darmok|a ''Star Trek'' episode]] involving a language (Tamarian) completely composed of memes and references.

===2019===

The main page is [[SmashWiki:April Fools'/Randolph Thespis Klauwd III|themed after Randall the Cloud]], the cloud featured on the [[Yoshi's Story]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The maintenance icons were replaced with a fanmade Pokémon named "Trollbat" (a mashup of the Pokémon {{pkmn|Golbat}} and the [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/trollface Trollface]), created in tandem with the SmashWiki's Discord server being themed entirely around an emoji under the same name (and other troll-face emojis based on Kirby and Sonic being added). As with the previous year, several fake fighter pages were made separate from the main joke, including {{s|user|Jiashen C.}} making a fake fighter page for Waluigi, and {{s|user|Awesomelink234}} making another fake fighter page, this time for [[User:Awesomelink234/Jotaro (SSBU)|Jotaro Kujo]] from ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure''.  

===2020===

The wiki was themed after [[Captain Falcon]] (formatted as '''''CAPTAIN DOUGLAS JAY FALCON'''''), with Captain Falcon being the featured article and all of the text on his page and on the main page capitalized. Several other widespread jokes were made:

*Like April Fools' jokes from previous years, several users have created fake fighter pages:

===2021===

The wiki was renamed to DededeWikiki, with the Main Page and [[King Dedede]]'s page rewritten to mirror King Dedede's personality and speech style from ''Kirby: Right Back At Ya!''.

===2022===

The wiki was transformed by "AmDyCo", or "Amusing Dynamic Content", purported to be the next big thing for websites that no longer wished to be boring and static. Every letter on every page (aside from the edit box) had a 7.5% chance to have a random animation applied from 15 choices:

* A shadow appears behind the letter, then disappears.

===2023===

*{{s|User|Ultimate Toad}}'s submission was that the next entry in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series was going to be ''[[User:Ultimate Toad/AFD 2023 - Super Smash Bros. 6|Super Smash Bros. Nitro]]'', in which all characters except the Original 12 were cut. The newcomers consisted entirely of joke characters, some of which were suggested by other users.
