STOP! BEFORE YOU ADD A NEW ITEM, PLEASE READ THESE NOTES: |
|||
*This is NOT a general trivia section. |
|||
*This section is only for items that have been listed on "NEW PAGES" in the last 120 hours |
|||
*The title of the new article should be '''BOLD''' and placed on TOP as the FIRST ITEM. |
|||
*Generally limited to eight items, but whatever the case – just make sure it fits whatever else is on the page at that time. Use your common sense. |
|||
*NO STUBS (moreover, try to find new articles that are 1,500+ bytes in size) |
|||
*Try to pick articles that are ORIGINAL to Wikipedia (not 1911 or other data sources) and that are INTERESTING. |
|||
*The "Did you know?" fact must be mentioned in the article. |
|||
*Images should be sized to 100px or SMALLER. |
|||
*Do not use fair-use images. Instead, find a related free image (PD, GFDL, CC etc.) as an alternative. |

===Credit templates=== |
|||
You can also give out credits using the following templates: |
|||
*'''Article talk page:''' ''({{tl|dyktalk}})'' <tt><nowiki>{{dyktalk|</nowiki>{{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}|{{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt> (check if small style templates in use, if so add small=yes parm) |
|||
*'''Article creator/expander's talk page:''' ''({{tl|UpdatedDYK}})'' <tt><nowiki>{{subst:UpdatedDYK|</nowiki>{{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}|{{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>|Article name}} --~~~~</nowiki></tt> |
|||
*'''Nominator's talk page:''' ''({{tl|UpdatedDYKNom}})'' <tt><nowiki>{{subst:UpdatedDYKNom|</nowiki>{{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}|{{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>|Article name}} --~~~~</nowiki>'''</tt> |
|||
*'''Notify contributor about addition to a [[Wikipedia:Portals|Portal]]:''' (can be modified for more than one portal) – ''({{tl|UpdatedDYKportal}})'' <tt><nowiki>{{subst:UpdatedDYKportal|Article name|Portal:Portal name}} --~~~~</nowiki></tt> |
|||
: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 preparation area page can be reset. |
|||
==Images== |
|||
*Don't forget to add an ''<nowiki>{{mprotected}}</nowiki>'' notice to the image description page (or ''<nowiki>{{C-uploaded}}</nowiki>'' '''plus''' a copy of the author attribution and the licence tag if you have uploaded a temporary copy from Commons). |
|||
==Posting the new update== |
|||
*''Note: This is the manual method. When using [[WP:DYKADMINBOT]], the bot should automate all of the following except steps 1, 7, and 10. Update: Bot is currently working but not archiving, so step 6 also has to be done manually after each bot update until further notice. In case of bot failure, a troubleshooting guide and checklist can be found [[User:Chamal N/DYKadminBot checklist and troubleshooting|here]].'' |
|||
# Make sure the image/media for the [[Template:Did you know/Queue/{{User:DYKadminBot/count}}|hooks to be loaded]] is on English Wikipedia or protected on Commons. If the image/file is on Commons and not protected, upload it to En and tag it with {{tl|c-uploaded}}. You do not need to protect the picture; this is done automatically because of the [[WP:Cascading protection|cascading protection]] of the Main Page. Alternatively, if you are an admin at Commons you can protect the image/file at Commons instead of uploading to En. |
|||
# Update [[T:DYK]] from [[Template:Did you know/Queue/{{User:DYKadminBot/count}}|the current queue]]. |
|||
# [{{fullurl:Main Page|action=purge}} Purge the cache of the Main Page] to make sure the new entries appear. |
|||
# [{{fullurl:Template:Did_you_know/Time|action=edit}} Reset] the [[Template:Did_you_know/Time|DYK time]]. |
|||
# Increment the [[User:DYKadminBot/count|next queue count]]. |
|||
# Copy the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Did_you_know&action=history ''previous'' set of hooks] (''not'' the new set just promoted to the front page) to [[Wikipedia:Recent additions|the archive]]. Be sure to copy the final revision of the set (should be the last diff on the [[T:DYK]] page before your update). Please include the picture/file. |
|||
# Check if the previous picture/file was temporarily uploaded from Commons for display on the Main Page, and delete it from En if so. |
|||
# If you have time, please do the credits for the hooks just promoted (see "Credits" section above). |
|||
# Clear the queue you just promoted hooks from with {{tlu|User:DYKadminBot/REMOVE THIS LINE}}. |
|||
# If you have time, check if [[T:DYK/P1|Preparation area 1]] or [[T:DYK/P2|Preparation area 2]] are full. Check the hooks for errors, and promote them to the next empty numbered queue if they're good. Clear the queue you took hooks from to look like [[Template:Did you know/Clear|this]]. Tag the numbered queue with <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:DYKbotdo|DYKbotdo]]<nowiki>|~~~}}</nowiki> once the queue is loaded and ready. |

![]() | REMOVE THIS MESSAGE WHEN ADDING HOOKS TO THE QUEUE This queue is currently empty. When hooks are added, they must be approved by adding {{DYKbotdo|~~~}} to the top of the page; the bot will not make any updates unless this is added. Remove this message when adding the hooks. |
