WikiFur talk:Did you know?

From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search

Could 'Did you knows' include one 'hint' at the end of info about new articles? For example, 'You can use a disambiguation leader when a full disambiguation page isn't called for', or 'You can create an interwiki link by (foo code) to link to pages in other Wikia'. A new hint per day might be nice. Almafeta 21:21, 23 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Updates[edit]

What's up with not having any updates lately? --Rat 09:04, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

nominations for Did-you-know ?[edit]

Where should potential Did-you-knows go? Example: When I have a potential Did-you-know but I'd like other people's opinions/tweaks before posting them to the DYKnow template. --EarthFurst 01:01, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

here. I'll be by here to see changes are made, cause they're behind. --cchristian 17:46, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

What do others think of replacing the Halloween Did-you-know with something like "*Furry Cruise started in 2005 and is a yearly gathering of furries on a cruise ship." --EarthFurst 01:01, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

thats pretty interesting, I'm gonna do that, thanks! cchristian

New nomination[edit]

I would like to nominated We Are Mongrels for the "DYK?", how do I do that? ISD 12:38, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

There's a big "edit" button next to it . . . you could either remove one item from the bottom, or remove them all (they've been up long enough) and add a few more from recent articles. --GreenReaper(talk) 13:50, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

(slight) broadening of DYK criteria[edit]

I want to change Did you know? to feature "recently added or expanded articles", and not just "newly-added articles", as English Wikipedia is currently doing. A recently expanded article can be worth promoting, especially if it initially had little content. What do you think? --Kakurady (talk) 18:29, 21 November 2016 (EST)

It amuses me that Wikipedia's "informal review" process for DYK is 22k bytes long. --Kakurady (talk) 16:11, 1 December 2016 (EST)
It's been a month and I'm just going to change it. Feel free to revert or discuss here. --Kakurady (talk) 20:46, 20 December 2016 (EST)

Update "Did you know?" box[edit]

The "Did you know?" box hasn't been updated since about 2017 -- five years ago.

I reckon it'd be good to try and encourage more activity when it comes to suggestions, and/or expand the scope of it.
