Talk:April Fools' Day comics

"There was no april fool's comic in 2023." There was, and it's called escape speed - it was just the latest they ever made (see here for my citation.) B for brain (talk) 20:35, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. I did not see this until others (involed in the making of the comic) wrote to me on my talk page. I now agree it was such a comic, but had not seen this proff before. --Kynde (talk) 08:57, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Moving to its own page

I think the text of the category is currently too hidden and in the wrong place. I bet almost now one clicking [Expand] expects such a long page to appear. We should have a page for April Fools' comics (do not create it on its own, it'll break page moving!), and keep the category for people who just want the links. Thoughts? --FaviFake (talk) 18:44, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

This should be the case with all Category:FOO pages that currently have an attempt to more or less itemise and extermporise about all the comics that then appear in the the actual membership list below. A simple "What this category is" should suffice, and would also not become outdated the moment that any new (or old!) comic gets given Category:FOO membership.

And if there's a big need to further categorise all items in a category by various criteria, create such appropriate sub-categories. Going into minutiæ about each is what each actual comic (or other-so-saved) page should already be doing. You can always summarise "of the <N> comics in this category, <M> were...", and shove bulleted (and sub-bulleted) analyses into a "Series Explanation" page with prose/tables/graphs/combinations-of-these/whatever. 172.68.205.134 21:07, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

I agree we should move all the long category explanation to their own pages, but I don't mind them being kept up to date. It's certainly easier to read an article than 20 different comic pages' trivia sections. --FaviFake (talk) 11:30, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
