How to review a nomination[සංස්කරණය]
Any editor who was not involved in writing/expanding or nominating an article may review it by checking to see that the article meets all the DYK criteria (long enough, new enough, no serious editorial or content issues) and the hook is cited. Editors may also alter the suggested hook to improve it, suggest new hooks, or even lend a hand and make edits to the article which the hook applies so that the hook is supported and accurate. For a more detailed discussion of the DYK rules and review process see the supplementary guidelines and the WP:Did you know/Reviewing guide.
To post a comment or review on a DYK nomination, follow the steps outlined below:
- Look through this page, සැකිලි සාකච්ඡාව:ඔබ දන්නවාද, to find a nomination you would like to comment on.
- Click the "Review or comment" link at the top of the nomination. You will be taken to the nomination subpage.
- The top of the page includes a list of the DYK criteria. Check the article to ensure it meets all the relevant criteria.
- To indicate the result of the review (i.e., whether the nomination passes, fails, or needs some minor changes), leave a comment on the page. Please indicate all aspects of the article that you have reviewed; your comment should look something like the following:
If you are the first person to comment on the nomination, there will be a lineArticle length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used. But the hook needs to be shortened.:*<!--Make first comment here-->showing you where you can put the comment. - Save the page.
If there is any problem or concern about a nomination, please consider notifying the nominator by placing {{subst:DYKproblem|Article|header=yes|sig=yes}} on the nominator's talk page.
Frequently asked questions[සංස්කරණය]
Backlogged?[සංස්කරණය]
This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until an editor reviews it. Since editors are encouraged to review the oldest submissions first (so that those hooks don't grow stale), it may take several days until your submission is reviewed. In the meantime, please consider reviewing another submission (not your own) to help reduce the backlog (see instructions above).
Where is my hook?[සංස්කරණය]
If you can't find the hook you submitted to this page, in most cases it means your article has been approved and is in the queue for display on the main page. You can check whether your hook has been moved to the queue by reviewing the queue listings.
If your hook is not in the queue or already on the main page, it has probably been deleted. Deletion occurs if the hook is more than about eight days old and has unresolved issues for which any discussion has gone stale. If you think your hook has been unfairly deleted, you can query its deletion on the discussion page, but as a general rule deleted hooks will only be restored in exceptional circumstances.
Instructions for other editors[සංස්කරණය]
How to promote an accepted hook[සංස්කරණය]
- In one window, open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to promote. In a separate window, open the prep area you intend to add the hook to.
- Paste the accepted hook and the credit information (the {{DYKmake}} and {{DYKnom}} templates) into the prep area. Make sure to follow the guidelines at Wikipedia:Did you know/Preparation areas.
- In the window where the DYK nomination subpage is open, replace the line
{{DYKsubpagewith{{subst:DYKsubpage, replace|passed=with|passed=yes, and for the|monthyear=fill in the month and year under which the nomination was posted (not the current date)—the format for the month and year should be, e.g.,අප්රේල් 2024. Then save the page. This has the effect of wrapping up the discussion on the DYK nomination subpage in a blue archive box and stating that the nomination was successful, as well as adding the nomination to a category for archival purposes. - In your edit summary, please indicate which prep area you are moving the hook to.
How to remove a rejected hook[සංස්කරණය]
- Open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to remove. (It's best to wait several days after a reviewer has rejected the hook, just in case someone contests or the article undergoes a large change.)
- In the window where the DYK nomination subpage is open, replace the line
{{DYKsubpagewith{{subst:DYKsubpage, replace|passed=with|passed=no, and for the|monthyear=fill in the month and year under which the nomination was posted (not the current date)—the format for the month and year should be, e.g.,අප්රේල් 2024. Then save the page. This has the effect of wrapping up the discussion on the DYK nomination subpage in a blue archive box and stating that the nomination was unsuccessful, as well as adding the nomination to a category for archival purposes.
How to remove a hook from the prep areas or queue[සංස්කරණය]
- Edit the prep area or queue where the hook is and remove the hook and the credits associated with it.
- Go to the hook's nomination subpage (there is usually a link to it in the credits section).
- View the edit history for that page
- Go back to the last version before the edit where the hook was promoted, and revert to that version to make the nomination active again.
- Leave a comment explaining that the hook was removed from the queue, and why, so that later reviewers are aware of this issue.
- If the day title for the section that contained the hook has been removed from this page, restore that section.
- If you removed the hook from a queue, it is best to either replace it with another hook from one of the prep areas, or to leave a message at WT:DYK asking someone else to do so.
- Add a link to the nomination subpage at Wikipedia:Did you know/Removed
How to move a nomination subpage to a new name[සංස්කරණය]
- Don't; it should not ever be necessary, and will break some links which will later need to be repaired.
