Template:DidYouKnow

The DidYouKnow template is for showing trivia from newly created articles in the "Did you know..." section of the Main Page. It's 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 that "...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) Update the trivia list once a week or once every two weeks as necessary. Alternatively, add a new entry to the top of the list, and remove the last entry in the list. 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) Edit the Archive to include the new entries, and ensure that the old entries are present.

The current trivia are: (Archive | More new pages) Old entries are kept at Template:DidYouKnow/archive.
