View source for Template talk:Did you know

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 <nowiki>{{DYK/{{CURRENTDAY}}/{{CURRENTWEEK}}/{{CURRENTMONTH}}/{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</nowiki> in the template (DYK) and we don't have to include that long thing in the main page.[[User:Twine3|Twine3]] ([[User talk:Twine3|talk]]) 00:40, January 26, 2025 (UTC)

::We can use <nowiki>{{#ifexist:DYK/{{CURRENTDAY}}/{{CURRENTWEEK}}/{{CURRENTMONTH}}/{{CURRENTYEAR}}|{{DYK/{{CURRENTDAY}}/{{CURRENTWEEK}}/{{CURRENTMONTH}}/{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}|there is no did you knows today.

:::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. [[User:Eeyore the Iowan Goat|Eeyore the Iowan Goat]] ([[User talk:Eeyore the Iowan Goat|talk]]) 04:13, January 27, 2025 (UTC)
