This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators.
This notice will automatically hide itself when the backlog is cleared.

To report errors in the queue, please place a message at WT:DYK or WP:ERRORS.

DYK queue status

There is currently 1 filled queue. Admin assistance in moving preps is requested.

When modifying a hook in a Prep or Queue (other than minor formatting fixes) please notify the nominator by including a link of the form [[User:JoeEditor]] in your edit summary. (Ping templates like {{U|JoeEditor}} don't work in edit summaries.)

ADMINISTRATORS: Please ensure that there is always at least one update loaded into the Queue at all times to prevent overdue updates to the main page.

This page gives an overview of all the hooks currently in the queue for promotion to the front page. By showing the content of all the queue and preparation area pages in one place, the overview helps administrators see how full the queue is, and also makes it easier for users to check that their hook has been promoted. Hooks removed from the prep areas or queue for unresolved issues should have their nominations reopened and retranscluded at the nomination page.

You may need to purge this page to get it to display the latest edits.

The next update will be produced from queue 6. After doing a manual update, please update the pointer to the next queue.

Current number of hooks on the nominations page

Note: See WP:DYKROTATE for when we change between one and two sets per day.

Instructions on how to promote a hook

At-a-glance instructions on how to promote an approved hook to a Prep area

See Wikipedia:Did you know/Preparation areas for details on verifying a hook's acceptability.
Promoters should not promote their own nomination or their own review
When promoting hooks intended for a particular date, keep in mind that when the number of available approved nominations exceeds 120 we switch to two sets per day, and when that number drops below 60 we return to one set per day.

Check list for nomination review completeness

Select a hook from the approved nominations page that has one of these ticks at the bottom post: .
Check to make sure basic review requirements were completed.
- Any outstanding issue following needs to be addressed before promoting.
Check the article history for any substantive changes since it was nominated or reviewed.
Images for the lead slot must be freely licensed. Fair-use images are not permitted. Images loaded on Commons that appear on the Main Page are automatically protected by KrinkleBot.
Hook must be stated in both the article and source (which must be cited at the end of the article sentence where stated).
Hook should make sense grammatically.
Try to vary subject matters within each prep area.
Try to select a funny, quirky or otherwise upbeat hook for the last or bottom hook in the set.

Steps to add a hook to prep

In one tab, open the nomination page of the hook you want to promote.
In a second tab, open the prep set you intend to add the hook to.

Wanna skip all this fuss? Install WP:PSHAW instead! Does most of the heavy lifting for ya :)

For hooks held for specific dates, refer to "Local update times" section on DYK Queue.
- Completed Prep area number sets will be promoted by an administrator to corresponding Queue number.
Copy and paste the hook into a chosen slot.
- Make sure there's a space between ... and that, and a ? at the end.
- Check that there's a bold link to the article.
If it's the lead (first) hook, paste the image where indicated at the top of the template.
Copy and paste ALL the credit information (the {{DYKmake}} and {{DYKnom}} templates) at the bottom
Check your work in the prep's Preview mode.
- At the bottom under "Credits", to the right of each article should have the link "View nom subpage" ; if not, a subpage parameter will need to be added to the DYKmake.
Save the Prep page.

Closing the DYK nomination page

At the upper left
- Change {{DYKsubpage to {{subst:DYKsubpage
- Change |passed= to |passed=yes
At the bottom
- Just above the line containing
  }}
  insert a new, separate line containing one of the following:
  To [[T:DYK/P1|Prep 1]]
  
  To [[T:DYK/P2|Prep 2]]
  
  To [[T:DYK/P3|Prep 3]]
  
  To [[T:DYK/P4|Prep 4]]
  
  To [[T:DYK/P5|Prep 5]]
  
  To [[T:DYK/P6|Prep 6]]
  
  To [[T:DYK/P7|Prep 7]]
- Also paste the same thing into the edit summary.
Check in Preview mode. Make sure everything is against a pale blue background (nothing outside) and there are no stray characters, like }}, at the top or bottom.
Save.
