Template talk:DidYouKnow

From the Super Mario Wiki

Ok, PLEASE tell me this is a joke. Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back!

I edited it so it had real facts – I guess this can be updated once a month. Wa _T^C_@ | Mi Youtube 01:15, 28 August 2007 (EDT)

A lot of wikis use info from the most recently created articles. Perhaps we should adopt this policy. Every week or so someone could browse through every new mainspace article created in the week, and pick out three or fours interesting facts. -- Son of Suns

That sounds cool. PRETxZELion ^{E T C}

That sounds like it could work, really well. Pokémon DP

That sounds like DPL can find all articles created from a certain timepoint...idea forming... Wa _T^C_@ | Mi Youtube 23:38, 28 August 2007 (EDT)

Bingo. Unfortunately transcluding content runs a risk of including templates on this page, which made a SUPER big mess when I tested it. A bit long to load, but more custom than Special:Newpages. Wa _T^C_@ | Mi Youtube 01:29, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

Moved to MarioWiki:Main Page Maintenance

This is useful for picking out a couple new articles in the week, but I don't think we should have a list of new pages on the front page. It would simply clutter it. -- Son of Suns

Never did I want it to go on the Main Page. I was thinking it would just stay here. Wa _T^C_@ | Mi Youtube 17:51, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

Okay now it shows information from both old and new articles, and changes every time you look at it. Plumber

[edit] A New Style

Instead of having only did you Knows from New Articles we should use the <option></option> feature and gather Random (and cool) facts from articles (maybe from Trivia Sections). If we do this we could have different DYKs almost everytime (like with Plumber did here. PRETxZELion ^{E T C}

I am with you all the way.

I like it the way it is. Not only it makes sure that the information presented there is new on the wiki (assuming it is updated regularly), it is also a nice way to feature recent additions. / Time Questions 13:08, 5 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] Maintenance

Is actually anyone concerned with this template? I ask because it is so rarely updated. Could I just edit myself? --Grandy02 03:54, 20 June 2008 (EDT)

No one is concerned with it at the moment, so please feel free to edit it! (We used to update it once a week (on Saturdays), and used facts from newly-created articles, but unless you want to update it regularly, I think it doesn't matter which articles you take the facts from.)
