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.

Tips on assembling sets are at Wikipedia:Did you know/Preparation areas.

Hooks

From Wikipedia's newest articles:

  • ... that the repertoire of the Japanese musical style danmono consists of eight pieces, all very similar in style?
  • ... that the existence of the mineral frankdicksonite was predicted before its discovery?

Credits

This space is to credit the creators/nominators of the items in this Did you know/Preparation page 1 (or 2) 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

You can also give out credits using the following templates:

  • Article talk page: ({{dyktalk}}) {{dyktalk|21 March|2026}} (check if small style templates in use, if so add small=yes parm)
  • Article creator/expander's talk page: ({{UpdatedDYK}}) {{subst:UpdatedDYK|21 March|2026|Article name}} --~~~~
  • Nominator's talk page: ({{UpdatedDYKNom}}) {{subst:UpdatedDYKNom|21 March|2026|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 preparation area 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).

Posting the new update

  • Note: This is the manual method. When using DYKUpdateBot, the bot should automate all of the following except steps 1 and 10.
  1. Make sure the image/media for the 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 {{c-uploaded}}. You do not need to protect the picture; this is done automatically because of the 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.
  2. Update T:DYK from the current queue.
  3. Purge the cache of the Main Page to make sure the new entries appear.
  4. Reset the DYK time.
  5. Increment the next queue count.
  6. Copy the previous set of hooks (not the new set just promoted to the front page) to 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.
  7. Check if the previous picture/file was temporarily uploaded from Commons for display on the Main Page, and delete it from En if so.
  8. If you have time, please do the credits for the hooks just promoted (see "Credits" section above).
  9. Clear the queue you just promoted hooks from with {{User:DYKUpdateBot/REMOVE THIS LINE}}.
  10. If you have time, check if Preparation area 1 or 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 this. Tag the numbered queue with {{DYKbotdo|~~~}} once the queue is loaded and ready.
