AVID:Requests for Comment/April Fools' Day 2023 Proposal

It's halfway to April. Now, with many wikis, including Logopedia, having an April Fools' Day joke every year, why not can we have one on this wiki? PokeRapMonster (talk) 04:44, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Proposal 1 - Bring back the "CLG Wiki" name

But don't worry, the wiki's name won't be changed to "CLG Wiki". Any mention of "AVID" shall be replaced with "CLG Wiki".

Edit: Bringing back the "CLG Wiki" name shall only affect the main page.

Support

1. Support Nancer's CLG Wiki logo should be used for this. · Talk · Edits 04:49, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
2. Support now that the proposal is being limited to the main page. Attempting to do it across the site would be impossible due to ReplaceText being removed from Miraheze. (Lets chat!) 04:53, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

   Agree here. Also the CLG Wiki logo should replace the AVID one on the header banner. PokeRapMonster (talk) 06:59, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

   Most likely Nancer's version. Maybe even switch the theme to Cologne Blue to go all the way. (Lets chat!) 07:08, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

   Also doubles as nostalgia too --'''Ashley Taylor''' (My Discord account (Excessive Avarice#1153) got banned from AVID Community Discord for abnormal activities and my soulbond (Cure Finale#1535) got banned too for plasticity reported her freudian slip and correction with dyno.gg log) (talk) 08:24, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

3. Support Awesome idea! (Talk to Me!) 20:33, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
4. Support Yes, totally! Buzzfan120 (talk) 05:23, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
5. Support ye (таʟк) 09:16, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Comments

1.  Comment: I suggest the below logo should be the CLG Wiki logo for April Fools' Day.

   

   This is an unused logo, and I got it from Logopedia. Any thoughts about it? PokeRapMonster (talk) 07:07, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

   This is Nancer's version that Trevor and I brought up. Absolutely should use this (Lets chat!) 07:09, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

   D'oh! Image please? PokeRapMonster (talk) 07:09, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

   Wdym? (Lets chat!) 07:10, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

   What the heck are you talking about the CLG Wiki logo stuff? You mean this banner?

   PokeRapMonster (talk) 08:07, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

   Nah, the "unused" logo that you've suggested IS Nancer's version (Lets chat!) 08:10, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

   Ah, I see. Let's stick with the unused one, ok? PokeRapMonster (talk) 08:20, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

   Yeah, that's what I'm saying (Lets chat!) 08:27, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

2.  Comment: D'oh! I forgot to say that the bringing the CLG Wiki name back will also affect the sidebar. The "More AVID" discord shall be changed to "More CLG Wiki", and specific elements will be renamed (temporarily) to "CLG Discord" and "The CLG Channel", respectively. PokeRapMonster (talk) 11:28, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
3.  Comment: To those who are worried about the BoD seeing this, keep in mind that they're hardly even active on their own wiki (the CLG Wiki on Fandom). · Talk · Edits 07:11, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
4.  Comment: Can somebody close this RfC early, and we'll proceed to finalizing the plans for April Fools' Day? PokeRapMonster (talk) 10:21, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

   You set the extended time period, we're going to stick with it. (Lets chat!) 10:52, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

5.  Comment: Can we set the deadline of the voting early to March 23, and we'll pick a theme for the April Fools' Day design? PokeRapMonster (talk) 11:51, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
6.  Comment: Now that the March 24 midnight (UTC) deadline has passed, may I suggest this RfC be closed? PokeRapMonster (talk) 01:25, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Proposal 2 - Use any of the wiki's mascots

See also: Forum:April Fools Day Joke

Early last January, I posted in a forum planning about how the logo shall look like when April 1 arrives. There, someone suggested the mascot Jeff on top of a green bar with the words "AVID" in the SpongeBob font on it. Now that Jeff was completely removed, why not try it with both Ace and Vivi?

Proposal 3 - Make the links in the main page redirect to the "Never Gonna Give You Up" music video

A good old-fashioned Rickroll, a tried and true Internet prank, YouTube had done this once, why can't we do it? Links to important pages like the rules shall remain untouched, however. (talk) 03:49, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Oppose Don't trick us around... PokeRapMonster (talk) 04:21, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
2. Oppose, as basically every link on the main page is important. (Lets chat!) 04:27, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
3. Oppose per EMG. · Talk · Edits 07:10, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Proposal 4 - Replace Featured Image gallery with Rickroll

Building on Proposal 3, I think this would be the best way to do a Rickroll on the main page. Talk · Edits 03:50, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
