==Guidelines==
Any user is free to participate in the festivities. Note however that while the rules are much more lax, they do still exist. When making an April Fools' edit, apply common sense, and think about whether the page still presents information that it is supposed to, despite the changed wording of the paragraphs you are going to edit. Failure to adhere to these guidelines will result in a block for the rest of the April Fools' festivities. Attempts to circumvent this block will result in a permanent one.
