On 12 January 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from Fools revolt to Fools' Revolt. The result of the discussion was moved.

Article title

There's probably some more specific WP:MOS consideration about this, but anyway.

Whatever the substantive article title should be, it should be in the form "Fools' revolt" - the revolt was by a group, not an individual, so in English the apostrophe should be after the plural name of the group
A 2010 article, in English, in Der Spiegel (website) refers to the "Narrenrevolte" as the "Jesters' Revolt"
"Narr" in German is usually translated as "fool" (see: de:Das Narrenschiff (Brant) and en Ship of Fools (satire). In this context, "Jester" would appear to be about particular theatrical characters called in English "fools".

Support, but if it is not a proper noun, perhaps Fools' revolt would be better? If it is a proper noun, then move per nom. Bensci54 (talk) 17:41, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Relisting comment: confirmation needed on whether this is a proper noun Polyamorph (talk) 18:10, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support per nominator. "Fools revolt" would be grammatical only if it formed a sentence such as "the fools revolt now", which this article is not about. JIP | Talk 19:21, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
