Template talk:DidYouKnow

Ok, PLEASE tell me this is a joke. http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back! http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif
 * I edited it so it had real facts – I guess this can be updated once a month. 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.
 * That sounds like it could work, really well.
 * That sounds like DPL can find all articles created from a certain timepoint...idea forming... 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. 01:29, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

Moved to 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. 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.

A New Style
Instead of having only did you Knows from New Articles we should use the 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.
 * 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. / 13:08, 5 November 2007 (EST)

I'm with ya bro!

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.) 14:33, 20 June 2008 (EDT)

Fawfulized Yoshi?
Wait, who said it was a yoshi? No one ever confirmed that, and (yes, guidebook reference) that they were shot at one of the brothers by an offscreen monster, and I don't think they mean a Yoshi.
 * Ok, if its not official I will change it for "monster" :) -- 17:49, 4 February 2010 (EST)


 * Glamdozer's battle theme is a remix of Bugaboom, Topmaniac, and King Kaliente's themes.
 * Princess Lipid has the same laugh as Golden Diva.
 * King K. Rool reveals he has siblings in The Kongo Bonga Festival of Lights.

Ok, heres some trivia that I'll give BLOF on Saturday when its time to update. I will delete this once I memorize it.

Whats the point of this template? Its not on any articles!


 * Have you bothered checking the main page? >_> --
 * XD! Ignorance is hilarious :)

Fake info
"New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the first Mario platformer game to feature multiplayer co-op at the same time since Mario Bros.." WTF? What about NSMB??? No? There's a lot of Mario games with that feature. (I remember like 3 already)
 * NSMB has Multiplayer Co-op? -- 18:19, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It says Mario PLATFORMER, which are only DK, DKJ, MB, SMB, SMB2, SMBLL, SMB3, SMW, SMW2, SML, SML2, SM64, SMS, SM64DS, SMG, SMG2, NSMB, and NSMBW. Most of the sidescrollers have multiplayer rotational, Super Mario 64 DS is multiplayer vs, not co-operative, and SMG/SMG2 is not direct co-op, as normal co-op means that both players are equal, which one player lacks a character completely in the Galaxy games. * * * Super! ~ Nickno  21:03, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Dr. Mario
It should say "21 years", not "11 years". Flicky1991 05:10, 5 May 2012 (EDT)

curious
Im just curious, do only administrators get to write the Did You Know? column?
 * I believe that Lindsay151 is in charge of updating it but others can fix mistakes.

Users can update the template, i just do it snice no one else does.
