Template:DidYouKnow

The DidYouKnow template is for showing trivia from newly created articles in the "Did you know..." section of the Main Page. It also displays trivia from a past (randomly selected) year. Here are the current year's trivia with links to past years. Trivia entries are not automatically or randomly updated, but purely manually operated. A user must add and move information by hand on a regular basis.

Please follow these instructions when adding new trivia:
 * 1) Pick the trivia from a recently created in-universe article. This article should be well written and properly cited, not copied from a source, and demonstrate a good wiki style. Please don't pick major spoilers as trivia. Also try to pick a wide variety of topics from a number of users, rather than from a recent batch on the same topic from the same editor.
 * 2) Phrase the trivia as a question in the form "Did you know that...?". Please begin the line with "...that", write in past tense, and end it with a question mark, "?". Bold the link to the new article, and leave other links unbolded.
 * 3) Please keep the list at around five or six entries, depending on the number of new recent articles and the number needed to provide a good representation of recent work.
 * 4) Update the trivia list once a week until there are 53 sections in Template:DidYouKnow/current (every 5 or 6 years we get a year with 53 weeks in it. See ISO week date).
 * 5) When a new year rolls around, copy Template:DidYouKnow/current to Template:DidYouKnow/archive/YYYY where YYYY is the year (See Template:DidYouKnow/archive/2013 for an example) and then clear out the "current" page and add the first trivia of the new year. The YYYY page will now be a candidate for random selection. Don't forget to add a link to the YYYY page on Template:DidYouKnow/archive, and ensure that the older entries are also present.

The current trivia are: And, from the archives, did you know...
