NOTE: Since on average about 50% of hooks on the suggestions page are U.S. related, it is usually appropriate to have roughly half the hooks in any given update on U.S. topics. Thanks.
This space is to credit the creators/nominators of the items in this Did you know/Next update template that in fact appear on the Main Page. If you replace or remove an item from the above template before it appears on the Main Page, make sure to re-add the hook to
Template talk:Did you know at the correct date of creation/expansion (find it in the history) along with credits, and preferably add a note explaining why you did so.
Notify contributor about addition to a
Portal: (can be modified for more than one portal) - ({{UpdatedDYKportal}}){{subst:UpdatedDYKportal|Article name|Portal:Portal name}} --~~~~
Note that portal notifications are only done if you have taken the trouble to add the DYK hook to a relevant portal, which is entirely optional. The other notifications must be done before the "Next update" page can be reset.
Images
Don't forget to add an {{mprotected}} notice to the image description page (or {{C-uploaded}}plus a copy of the author attribution and the licence tag if you have uploaded a temporary copy from Commons).
Purge the front page cache to make sure the new entries appear;
Reset the DYK time;
Delete the previous image (if c-uploaded from commons) or unprotect and remove the tag (if m-protected);
Copy the previous set of hooks (not the new set just promoted to the front page) to
Wikipedia:Recent additions. Be sure to copy the final revision of the set (should be the last diff on the
T:DYK page before your update).
If you have time, please do the credits for the hooks just promoted (see "Credits" section above).
