Forum:April First

Okay, so, just wondering, who else has pulled a successful April Fool's Day prank. I pulled on the users at The Elder Scrolls Wiki :) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 23:49, March 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * I pulled together some CSS for Zeldapedia to look like zeldawiki. But the cache isn't working. It's supposed to look like it does here.


 * I did one for the Hero Tower Defense Wiki here.

 * At Crashix, one of the wikis I am the site leader at, we have made a joke where Activision takes over Crashix from Wikia and then the wiki is treated like it is owned by Activision for a short while. On the other wiki I am the site leader at, Wallace &amp; Gromit Wiki, I falsely claimed that I was the founder of Wikipedia (hoping that people would easily get fooled by that due to my username), then reverted it later in the day. Thanks for listening. EpicWikipedian 20:46, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

At the RuneScape Wiki, we changed the main page to look like it was vandalized, gave all users the sysop hilite, in Chat gave everyone but chat mods a star, and for a few hours we had Pinkie Pie jumping at the bottom of the screen. Then we had some fun with fake forum threads. :) 01:30, April 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sawpped the Banned profile tag for the Admin tag and vice versa :D -- Tama 63  17:45, April 2, 2012 (UTC)

Aftermath
Great, now I have reports from visitors that the changes (most probably the CSS) haven't reverted back for them as of 3rd of April (mine has.) There's also reports of a strange phenomenon of some CSS styling from April First that still lingers on the page, which disappears when the log on. Wikia's servers must have been overburdened by all the sudden CSS changes from so many wikis that it just couldn't cope! -- Mfaizsyahmi  (talk) 15:50, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep in mind that browsers cache style sheets, so it could be that their browser's cache hasn't expired --  Random Time  15:52, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Perhaps. I've given instructions to clear the browser cache in the forum where they make their complaint. I can't tell if they actually followed it.
 * Indeed, I myself experience this problem when viewing my wiki as anon, and when browsing from a linux computer (which I had never browsed my wiki from). Clearing the cache doesn't seem to do anything. -- Mfaizsyahmi  (talk) 16:12, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Purged the local CSS/JS from our end, see if this fixes what ails you. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:45, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Since the problem is limited to only some visitors it might be their browsers after all. -- ''Mfaizsyahmi (talk) 17:08, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
