#{{User|Alex95}} - Reason why we don't really archive the April Fools' proposals is because that page or the main [[MarioWiki:BJAODN/Proposals|dumb proposals page]] would get bloated ''fast'' on April Fools'. And it wouldn't really even feel funny anymore, 'cause then people would just be posting on the proposals page silly things just for them to be archived and looked back at later (which you can do with the page history). One of the points of BJAODN is to "not write badly on purpose just to get into BJAODN", and this proposal would go against that. We're lenient on April Fools' because content on the Proposals page doesn't affect the mainspace (in this case). The only exception to this is Pie because <s>long live pie</s> legacy by Ghost Jam or something. | #{{User|Alex95}} - Reason why we don't really archive the April Fools' proposals is because that page or the main [[MarioWiki:BJAODN/Proposals|dumb proposals page]] would get bloated ''fast'' on April Fools'.

#{{User|Baby Luigi}} I feel like without any sort of regulation, this sort of thing would add up very, very quickly, leading to a very bloated page filled with nothing but joke proposals. One of the reasons Pie For Everyone worked was because it was the only joke proposal available that relied on an established legacy. There's a reason that all other parts of MarioWiki are curated so that only admins can tinker around with new article and stuff, because it increases the stuff to do to clean up afterward if every Tom, Dick, and Harry can do it. Joke curation isn't necessary to the upkeep of MarioWiki and thus we're better off just forbidding an official archive of it all together as a moderate dosage of joke proposals is fine, excessive is not. And in addition, per everything what Alex95 said. | #{{User|Baby Luigi}} I feel like without any sort of regulation, this sort of thing would add up very, very quickly, leading to a very bloated page filled with nothing but joke proposals.

#{{User|Doomhiker}} This kind of against the spirit of BJAODN. If every April the first BJAODN is filled with what otherwise good users created, then what is the point of it? We should stick to not encouraging users to be put on BJAODN, April Fool's or not. Pie is different, as it is an administrator-created running gag to the level of Pirate Goomba being a Pirate Goomba. Per all. | |||
