| − | Beginning in [[1998]], when [[Charles Brown]] suggested to [[Mark Kelly]] that ''[[Locus]] Online'' run an April Fool's issue, ''Locus Online'' ran a series of joke articles on its website on April 1. Of various cleverness and humor, the tradition came to an end in 2013 after [[Lawrence Person]] posted an article entitled "WisCon Makes Burqas Mandatory for All Attendees." According to Person, he selected his target as "a direct jab (in humorous form) at [[WisCon]]'s previous decision to yank their [[Guest-of-Honor]] invitation to [[Elizabeth Moon]] for daring to voice (in the mildest possible form) politically incorrect thoughts about certain aspects of modern Islam."
