Revision as of 15:13, 30 April 2024
April Fools Day 2024 marked the twenty-first year that the holiday was celebrated on Wikipedia.[a] Wikipedia editors made nearly 250 joke AfD nominations; Operation Radiance alone resulted in the creation of fourteen color themed AfDs and twenty-one AfDs about 2004-2024 Internet phenomena. Due to the vast number of joke AfD nominations, the April Fool's Day deletion log had to be split in two.
From April 2-4, Wikipedians who participated in the festivities held an informal vote to determine the best jokes of 2024. In addition to the by-now standard best joke AfD question, this year's poll included two new questions regarding the best non-AfD joke and the best prankster. The winner of the three categories are as follows:
- Best joke AfD: Procrastination (3 votes)
- Best non-AfD joke: Parking Lot (6 votes)
- Best prankster: AlphaBeta135 (9 votes)
The full results are available here.
