This is where you can submit Did You Know entries. List your submission(s) below, and if the admins decide it's worthwhile, it will be added to the main page template. You can sign your submissions if you want, but really, there's not much credit to be given here so you may not want to bother.
Q: Why is DYK now locked?
A: Because when it was freely editable, it was repetitive, unfunny, got way too huge, and was too time-consuming for the admins to manage.
Q: When will my submission appear?
A: When an admin decides that it's good enough for the front page. A warning: DYK is low priority for most admins. It may not be updated with new submissions frequently, and many entries will be deleted without making it to the main template. Here's how to maximize your chances:
- Search the current DYKs and make sure yours isn't a repeat. No, "...that 74.6% of statistics are made up" won't cut it, sorry.
- Link to good pages in your DYK.
- Sequence DYKs (i.e. using two or three or four indented entries for one DYK) are allowed, but don't go overboard.
- DO SOMETHING ORIGINAL. PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, BE ORIGINAL.
Q: What is the template format?
A: All the DYKs are thrown into a random blender using the <choose> tags. That means only one (or a few) DYK will appear on the front page each time you load the page. So no, your DYK will not automagically appear after it's accepted.
Q: What about "Do You Care"?
A: Do You Care entries are mainly for highlighting great past articles.
