Template talk:Did you know

formatting

I understand that we are supposed to create a bullet list in the template mainspace, but then it might

• get too long
• show the same facts will repeat day after day (ok pretty short for a bullet list)

anyways, we can solve this by using {{DYK/{{CURRENTDAY}}/{{CURRENTWEEK}}/{{CURRENTMONTH}}/{{CURRENTYEAR}}}} in the template (DYK) and we don't have to include that long thing in the main page.Twine3 (talk) 00:40, January 26, 2025 (UTC)

It's only showing a broken link though. Eeyore the Iowan Goat (talk) 04:32, January 26, 2025 (UTC)

We can use {{#ifexist:DYK/{{CURRENTDAY}}/{{CURRENTWEEK}}/{{CURRENTMONTH}}/{{CURRENTYEAR}}|{{DYK/{{CURRENTDAY}}/{{CURRENTWEEK}}/{{CURRENTMONTH}}/{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}|there is no did you knows today. [[DYK/{{CURRENTDAY}}/{{CURRENTWEEK}}/{{CURRENTMONTH}}/{{CURRENTYEAR}}?action=edit|Create them!]]}} Twine3 (talk) 02:43, January 27, 2025 (UTC)

Yeah that works, though I think the year may be a bit excessive since that means it can be viewed only once, not cycling back for when the year is done. Eeyore the Iowan Goat (talk) 04:13, January 27, 2025 (UTC)
