Wikipedia:April Fools/April Fools' Day 2024

April Fools Day 2024 marked the twenty-first year that the holiday was celebrated on Wikipedia. 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.
