NOTE: Since on average about 50% of hooks on the suggestions page are U.S. related, it is usually appropriate to have roughly half the hooks in any given update on U.S. topics. Thanks.

Hooks

NOTE: Since we are running low on hooks on the Suggestions page, the time period has been adjusted so that the bot fires every twelve hours instead of every six. Please ignore the DYK time template colour unless the time has gone over twelve hours. Thanks.

From Wikipedia's newest articles:

سانچہ:*mp... that the Eastside Historic Cemetery District (pictured) in Detroit, Michigan, contains the graves of 29 Detroit mayors, at least 6 governors, 11 senators, and a dozen cabinet members? سانچہ:*mp... that White Tights are mysterious blonde female snipers from the Baltic states who have supposedly fought against the Russian Army in various conflicts? سانچہ:*mp... that the later political works of John Milton (born 400 years ago today), including Tenure of Kings, Eikonoklastes, Defensio Secunda, Civil Power, and Ready and Easy Way, were controversial but still sold well? سانچہ:*mp... that while working on The Last Sleep of Arthur in Avalon, painter Edward Burne-Jones identified so strongly with King Arthur that he even assumed Arthur's pose when he slept? سانچہ:*mp... that Kunz von Kaufungen kidnapped Frederick II, Elector of Saxony's two sons, Ernest and Albert, just four years after he commanded Frederick II's forces during the Saxon Fratricidal War? سانچہ:*mp... that the "noble polypore" (mushroom species Bridgeoporus nobilissimus) was the first fungus to be listed as endangered by any private or public agency in the United States? سانچہ:*mp... that two of the three character designers of the Japanese visual novel Flyable Heart have illustrated the Shakugan no Shana light novels and manga series, respectively? سانچہ:*mp... that Scott Smith is the first person since 1966 to be elected Mayor of سانچہ:City-state without having first served on its City Council?

Credits

This space is to credit the creators/nominators of the items in this Did you know/Next update template that in fact appear on the Main Page. If you replace or remove an item from the above template before it appears on the Main Page, make sure to re-add the hook to Template talk:Did you know at the correct date of creation/expansion (find it in the history) along with credits, and preferably add a note explaining why you did so.

Credit templates

You can also give out credits using the following templates:

  • Article talk page: ({{dyktalk}}) {{dyktalk|7 مئی|2025}} (check if small style templates in use, if so add small=yes parm)
  • Article creator/expander's talk page: ({{UpdatedDYK}}) {{subst:UpdatedDYK|7 مئی|2025|Article name}} --~~~~
  • Nominator's talk page: ({{UpdatedDYKNom}}) {{subst:UpdatedDYKNom|7 مئی|2025|Article name}} --~~~~
  • Notify contributor about addition to a Portal: (can be modified for more than one portal) - ({{UpdatedDYKportal}}) {{subst:UpdatedDYKportal|Article name|Portal:Portal name}} --~~~~
Note that portal notifications are only done if you have taken the trouble to add the DYK hook to a relevant portal, which is entirely optional. The other notifications must be done before the "Next update" page can be reset.

Images

  • Don't forget to add an {{mprotected}} notice to the image description page (or {{C-uploaded}} plus a copy of the author attribution and the licence tag if you have uploaded a temporary copy from Commons).

After posting the new update

  • Note: This is the old manual method. For updates copied to the bot queue, the bot currently automates all of the following except steps 3 and 5.
  1. Purge the cache of the Main Page to make sure the new entries appear;
  2. Reset the DYK time;
  3. Delete the previous image (if c-uploaded from commons) or unprotect and remove the tag (if m-protected);
  4. Copy the previous set of hooks (not the new set just promoted to the front page) to Wikipedia:Recent additions. Be sure to copy the final revision of the set (should be the last diff on the T:DYK page before your update).
  5. If you have time, please do the credits for the hooks just promoted (see "Credits" section above).
