That was freaking hilarious. To all the people who didn't like it, loosen up. You take things too seriously. The Admins make a darn good April Fools joke and you jerkies thing it is the end of the Wiki.

To those who knew it was a joke but didn't think it was funny, I suppose the choice you should select is the fourth one. Given that you must have known that it would be for one day only, I can't quite understand why anyone would take that stance, but then I remind myself that you can't make 100 percent of the people laugh all of the time (even on a day set aside for that purpose). Plus, when I read the forums and find that there are people who didn't like "candy product," I realize how fickle some people are when it comes to humor. Ah, well. I guess you should be glad we didn't go with our other idea: replacing the whole site with the Kitten Wiki.

But then we would have had to deal with everyone screaming about not being able to access the real content, not to mention all the dog lovers...

Ugh, this really made me mad, I did not know it was a prank. I'm just thinking, "GOD!! WTF DID THE ADMINS DO TO THE F***in' WIKI??!!! AAAHHHHHH"

But when I found out it was a joke, I laughed. Good job, guys.

No need to swear, and, I really didn't care, it wasn't funny, but, I didn't hate it. It was ok.

I love the fact that you admins decided to do that little prank. Fan = freaking = tastic.

The TaviStyle is now a selectable choice in your wiki preferences under "skin", just in case anyone missed it or wants to see it again.

I loved it, because I knew it was fake, but I saw people who thought it was real! Great...Moderators get the Golden Globe award for best actors and actrisses.

Shut it up.

:( Shopiom makes me a sad panda.

So anyway, I don't know if I already said that I wasn't here (camping, not grounded) so I'll say it now.

I wasn't here.

Rofflage.

As for the H*R prank, you guys didn't miss much. It was cool, but one of the lamer pranks they've done. I personally liked the PAY PLUS! better.

You know, I've been using the Tavi skin lately, and I must say, I kinda like it more than Monobook.

Yeah, it's pretty neat. Considering it's basically the only other skin that really works.

I loved it. Especially how everyone was trying to trick eachother into thinking it was real.

It wasn't a joke.

The mods and admins said so.

Because of this...

Can a mod Yata-Lock this thread?

It's dot com IS an admin, Clan. So it was a joke. Not only that, but they wouldn't have reverted if it weren't a joke.

They were joking around. It wasn't real, or it would still be up. Toastpaint.

Roffle! That's because it WAS a joke...
Anyways, Special:Version pretty much gave it away for me right away. So then I went on the talk page and made up excuses with the other sysops like "That's because DotCom's bot copied all the pages literally from the old wiki. That's why they're still displayed as they were on MediaWiki but without actual functionality..."

It was funny, but I had to make sure everyone knew it was a joke. Although JoeyDay was pretty convincing.
