Like any April Fools' Day on Misplaced Pages, there was plenty of chaos. April Fools' Day 2019, however, was quite possibly the most chaotic out of all of them. Some of the jokes that took place this year were bordering on being vandalism. Some people have said that the chaos of April Fools' Day 2019 on Misplaced Pages was contagious.
