This was the last year for any real April Fools' celebrations up to now.
2017: Gap in articles from Feb to June
2018: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2018-04-26/Humour
2019: This year was kind of reeling from Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2019-02-28/Humour = a very bad attempt at humour. Hence, we apologised for april fools> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2019-03-31/From_the_editors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2019-03-31/Humour fares better.
2020=1: As COVID began devastating the world, we... did nothing humourous whatsoever for April Fools. We also skipped out on 2022, largely because the timing was off - late March and late April publication, and the War in Ukraine won out for coverage.
Optional: Give a short WP:LEAD-like introduction statement here.
