Now that we are approaching Thanksgiving, should we temporarily rename ourselves to "Turkeypedia" and just list articles about turkeys on the Main Page, including the country Turkey? Awesome Aasim 21:54, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

They did a cool reskin for Halloween! Not sure if they'll do something similar for Thanksgiving, but it's not a bad idea. MrX blow me 15:47, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

This forum was created less than 48 hours before American Thanksgiving, that is not enough time for a high quality reskin to be made. If you want to discuss a reskin, now would be the proper time to start brainstorming the concept for a winter solstice reskin. -- The Zombiebaron 06:29, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Which also sounds cool! But since I know nothing about making reskins, I'll keep chillin' on the sidelines and cheer on whatever you guys come up with. Definitely happy to offer opinions. Maybe I can even learn something and help with actually making it. Who knows, in any case, I like the ideas, especially sarcastic winter solstice ideas, totally funny, kinda hope my lame puns landed lol. MrX blow me 06:55, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

At some point I plan to update HowTo:Reskin Uncyclopedia to fit the modern methods, but its still fairly accurate. The first step is coming up with the general premise of the joke of the reskin, and then you can start making the content. -- The Zombiebaron 07:06, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Sweet! Never knew that was there, thanks! I'll take a deep dive soon, probably over this long weekend. MrX blow me 07:19, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Zombiebaron casually mentioned a Snowflake Day reskin on Discord several weeks ago, which is a Clone High reference. Since Clone High has surged in popularity over the past few months, it would be both a potentially funny and trendy idea. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 22:49, Nov. 27, 2020

I think we can do better than copying a joke from Clone High, it should be easy enough to create our own generic holiday with potato nog and the exchanging of Oscar Wilde quotes as gifts. -- The Zombiebaron 00:09, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

How about a HolidayBot that uploads logos related to each holiday. We are approaching December, so we should become holipedia. Numerous religious holidays, including Hanukkah, Christmas, and the non-religious New Year's are coming up. So we should have a script that changes all the text and links on the Main Page, turns the cursor into a snowflake or sunflake depending on whether you live in Australia or South America/Africa, and snow or sand falling down the Main Page. We can also have a link back to the original Main Page (i.e. ?safemode=1) so we can have featured articles still work. Awesome Aasim 09:37, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Typically a reskin is more than just changing a few links and the logo, they should have a premise and jokes that support that premise. While I do agree that it would be beneficial to create an automated way to rollout reskins, I think having a bot rollout the same link changes annually would defeat the entire purpose. -- The Zombiebaron 12:34, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
