Suggestions link

The "DYK Suggestions" links to T:DYK; can an administrator change it so it is piped to the "Suggestions" subsection? Thanks. Skomorokh ^incite 14:18, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Crossname redirects

Is it ok if I do the followings changes?

• [[T:DYK]] -> [[Template:Did you know|T:DYK]]
• [[T:TDYK]] -> [[Template talk:Did you know|T:TDYK]]
• [[T:DYK/N]] -> [[Template:Did you know/Next update|T:DYK/N]]

This will minimize problems by crossnaming as those reported in Wikipedia_talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Bugs. -- Magioladitis (talk) 20:33, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Please add <noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude> to the page or just add <noinclude>[[Category:Wikipedia Did you know templates]]</noinclude> to the bottom of the template. -- Suntag ☼ 20:46, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

20px Done. I went ahead and added the {{Documentation}} template. --Elonka 23:04, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Order

This is in the wrong order in my opinion. It should go as follows:

1. Main
2. Rules (because we should all read the rules first!)
3. Suggestions (suggestions are what keeps it running)
4. Next update (related to above, except it covers the hooks about to go live)
5. Archive (WP:DYKA) (details of every hook ever featured)
6. Discussion (WT:DYK) (discussion of the whole process)

I'm wary of even including the following two:

1. List (WP:DYKLIST) (essentially a page of who got the most DYKs. Numbers don't mean a lot to me.)
2. Best (WP:DYKBEST) (I personally dispute this page's title, should be more along the lines of "Most viewed".)

Neither of them are a daily part of the DYK process so don't really need to be on the template. – How do you turn this on (talk) 23:43, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

I made the requested changes [2], but I think we can keep the other 2 links included. Cirt (talk) 23:56, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

On the "Best" part, I inserted it as an experiment. It's a new feature, and my suggestion would be to give it a month to see how popular (how many page views the page view page gets?) it is. If DYK regulars conclude it's not useful, then we can dump it, but I vote to give it a chance.Cbl62 (talk) 16:35, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Nod. Leave it for a month and let's see then. ++Lar: t/c 21:22, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Background color

A change to the template background color might be nice. We could match it to the green color scheme used on the main page, using f5fffa for the light green and cef2e0 for the darker green color. -- Suntag ☼ 13:02, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Missing section

This is missing from the template. --➨♀♂Candlewicke _S^T _# :) 19:55, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Rules

The rules link just links to the top of the page, not to Wikipedia:Did_you_know#DYK_rules. Dotty••|☎ 15:51, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Those are the rules for nominations. Further down are rules for the preparation page, and beyond (without mentioning WP:DYKADMINBOT), although some subsections such as Selecting nominated hooks are in the wrong section. (I'm biased; I tried to fix it but the consensus went against me.) Art LaPella (talk) 20:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Add a link to WP:DYKLIST

I propose we add a line saying "Contributors (WP:DYKLIST)" to the bottom of the template. Binksternet (talk) 18:11, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

>Sound of knocking< Hello! Let's put one more link in the box. Binksternet (talk) 00:18, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I have no objection. As there's been no response for almost nine months, I'd suggest just adding it. —Bruce1ee^talk 06:09, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

This is not a very busy talkpage, I'm afraid. However, I'd prefer not to add that link; I don't think that list is very important to DYK and the navigation box should be limited to the most important links. Ucucha 12:20, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Add prepextra to DYKbox

I would like to add PrepExtra to "Prep areas" as follows:

• Prep areas (T:DYK/P1 | P2 | Px)

It would make the box a little wider, but I don't see that being a problem. Does anyone have any objections? —Bruce1ee^talk 06:05, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

I've been bold and done it. Ucucha 12:34, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. —Bruce1ee^talk 12:35, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Sidebar

Please convert to {{sidebar}}. I made an initial try at it but it was reverted. Feel free to discuss but it is a navigational sidebar and not an infobox or other tabular data. 50.53.15.51 (talk) 02:20, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

20px Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. The revert comment says consensus is needed for the proposed change. RudolfRed (talk) 20:14, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Please replace the line

| label1 = [[Template:Did you know|Currently on Main Page]]

with

| label1 = {{nowrap|[[Template:Did you know|Currently on Main Page]]}}

so that "Currently on Main Page" doesn't linewrap when in bold. 213.246.89.79 (talk) 06:13, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

20px Done --Mdann52talk to me! 11:29, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
