Wikipedia:April Fools/April Fools' Day 2022/How to be the funniest person on Wikipedia

Are you struggling to come up with a funny gag to pull on Wikipedia for April Fool's Day? Don't worry, Wikipedia has you covered. If you're hitting a writer's block of creativity or simply aren't funny, here's a list of low-hanging fruit for you to chew on instead.

Articles to nominate for deletion

 * Earth; don't even give a funny reason. Just do it!
 * Wikipedia; it's the site we're on right now, so no further clarification is needed.
 * Something topical; Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. Ever Given got stuck in the Suez Canal. COVID-19? Just the thought of those incidents makes us roll on the floor laughing.
 * A funny internet meme that was popular for a little while; despite the fact that most of us are beyond our teenage years, a small fraction of us aren't.
 * A letter or number; there are still some options left! Nobody has nominated L for deletion yet.
 * Earth; do it again!
 * An obscure anime that only you really care about; hopefully someone else will get the reference.
 * An article that could coincide with a policy; Deleting spam per WP:SPAM or dynamite per WP:TNT have been done a lot, but what difference does one more make?
 * Earth; go for a record!

Other pranks

 * Turn an article X amount of degrees; It's even funnier when it's 420!
 * Turn an article upside down!
 * Screw it, just mess with a page so much that it's practically unreadable!


 * Translate an article to another language; why? Because it's funny, we think!
 * Bold the WP:BOLD article!
 * Sell Wikipedia!
 * Rob a bank!
 * Hold Jimmy Wales hostage!
 * Kill a man.
 * Nominate Earth for deletion; it never gets old!
