  • @Styyx and Onegreatjoke: here's what I'm thinking, because I have an unending love for absurdist quirky hooks. I could probably craft a hook that's a little more straight-laced; I think this one would be a better candidate for April Fools' 2023. That something you'd be on board with? theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 21:39, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
theleekycauldron, sounds cool, but I'm not super-duper sure about placing this for April Fools considering the context of the name—a plane crash that killed (definitely more than) 43. Though, what kind of hook did you have in mind? ~StyyxTalk? 21:58, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
LEEK! ~StyyxTalk? 18:24, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
sorry sorry sorry! I'm not... the most organized. A tamer hook would be something like:
which isn't overly hooky – I'd be happier taking ALT0 for April Fools' Day. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 22:53, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
Yeah, ALT0 seems better, but does it have to be for April Fools? ~StyyxTalk? 23:39, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
@Styyx: I'd argue yeah :( we can't really say that this tree "saw it all" in wikivoice and get away with it. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 04:55, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
Theleekycauldron Yeah, I guess we'll wait for ALT3 to be approved and run that on a normal day or just promote ALT1/2 then. ~StyyxTalk? 14:42, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
Onegreatjoke, would you mind approving ALT3 as well or should I request a new reviewer? ~StyyxTalk? 23:28, 21 October 2022 (UTC) Re-ping Onegreatjoke due to mistake. ~StyyxTalk? 23:29, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
Approve ALT3 since I believe Onegreatjoke would do that as well, and it's still rather quirky. –LordPeterII (talk) 09:32, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
