Suggestions
NOTE: Since on average about 50% of hooks on the suggestions page are U.S. related, it is usually appropriate to have roughly half the hooks in any given update on U.S. topics. Thanks.
- See how this template appears on both today's Main Page and tomorrow's Main Page.
- To reset the contents of this page for the next update, copy the empty page from Template:Did you know/Next update/Clear.
Credits
This space is to credit the creators/nominators of the items in this Did you know/Next update template that in fact appear on the Main Page. If you replace or remove an item from the above template before it appears on the Main Page, make sure to re-add the hook to Template talk:Did you know at the correct date of creation/expansion (find it in the history) along with credits, and preferably add a note explaining why you did so.

Credit templates
To be given out when hooks reach Main Page:
- Article talk page: ({{dyktalk}}) {{dyktalk|3 June|2024}} (check if small style templates in use, if so add small=yes parm)
- Article creator/expander's talk page: ({{UpdatedDYK}}) {{subst:UpdatedDYK|3 June|2024|Article name}} --~~~~
- Nominator's talk page: ({{UpdatedDYKNom}}) {{subst:UpdatedDYKNom|3 June|2024|Article name}} --~~~~
- Notify contributor about addition to a Portal: (can be modified for more than one portal) - ({{UpdatedDYKportal}}) {{subst:UpdatedDYKportal|Article name|Portal:Portal name}} --~~~~
- Note that portal notifications are only done if you have taken the trouble to add the DYK hook to a relevant portal, which is entirely optional. The other notifications must be done before the "Next update" page can be reset.
Images
- Don't forget to add an {{mprotected}} notice to the image description page (or {{C-uploaded}} plus a copy of the author attribution and the licence tag if you have uploaded a temporary copy from Commons).
After posting the new update
- After copying DYK entries to Template:Did you know, please do the following:
- Purge the front page cache to make sure the new entries appear;
- Reset the DYK time;
- Delete the previous image (if c-uploaded from commons) or unprotect and remove the tag (if m-protected);
- Copy the previous set of hooks (not the new set just promoted to the front page) to Wikipedia:Recent additions. Be sure to copy the final revision of the set (should be the last diff on the T:DYK page before your update).
- If you have time, please do the credits for the hooks just promoted (see "Credits" section above).
