Note: The hook will need to be updated depending on its run date. Martial is expected to break the record at some point in the next ~~month~~ two weeks. Cbl62 (talk) 18:24, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is the same issue ("The hook should refer to established facts that are unlikely to change") as Template:Did you know nominations/Chase Brown; the number is a moving target. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:19, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: @RoySmith: Martial broke the record today, and I've added this fact to the article with in-line sourcing. Accordingly, we can now run an updated hook as follows:
