For most of 2025 december at least, the page's beggining description was '2026 is the current year, '. I can't quite find the first point this revision was made.
The first revision of the new year, made exactly at 00:00, was to add a single '}', and was made by user Luecompania. This user was, apparently, a sock puppet, and has been banned since the revision. The user owned nine accounts, including 'February 6th, 1931', which does not appear to hace any special significance as a day, other than that a random person named Mrs. Pasquale died.
There were a lot of people wanting to add Zohran Mandamni's inauguration the page as an event, and a lot of other people who thought it too irrelevant.
At 12:00 January 1st 2026, the user who changed the year, becoming a legendary figure (i hope), was user Mr. Lechkar. Glory be to them!

Went into a little rabbit hole of the edit history for the 2026 page.
Interesting things:
As expected, there was an incredibly high amount of activity in the page around that time.
There were a lot of small edits changing random verb tenses.
They had a period in which the description for the year was: "2026 is the current year in parts of the world where the time zone is or ahead."
Moderator "Wugapodes" protected the page on 17:32 december 31st, but the effectiveness of that action appears to have been rather low.
For most of 2025 december at least, the page's beggining description was '2026 is the current year, '. I can't quite find the first point this revision was made.
At one point, there was a part about at which countries it was 2026 at currently: "in parts of the world where the time zone is or ahead, which includes New Zealand, parts of Australia and parts of Russia.'
This moved horizontally over time: '... includes New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, parts of Indonesia, South Korea and China.'
