This module is responsible for the functionality of the Did you know? facts that appear on the main page. It does this by randomly pulling a number of facts from the content of the Dogcraft Wiki:Did you know/Facts page.
Functions:
random
The "random" function can generate up to 5 random numbers per day. Its arguments are "length", which sets the highest random number it can select (default is 30), and "seed", which can select between the 5 daily numbers. Seed accepts numbers from 1 to 5.
Examples:
{{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=1}}
generates:14
(this number changes daily){{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=2}}
generates:22
(this number changes daily){{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=3}}
generates:29
(this number changes daily){{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=4}}
generates:3
(this number changes daily){{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=5}}
generates:11

randomW
The "randomW" function can generate up to 5 random numbers per week. Its arguments are "length", which sets the highest random number it can select (default is 30), and "seed", which can select between the 5 daily numbers. Seed accepts numbers from 1 to 5.
Examples:
{{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=1}}
generates:11
(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=2}}
generates:18
(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=3}}
generates:25
(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=4}}
generates:33
(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=5}}
generates:7
(this number changes weekly)
facts
The "facts" function, which returns up to 5 facts per day, selected from Dogcraft_Wiki:Did_you_know. Its arguments are "text", which expects "{{Dogcraft_Wiki:Did_you_know/Facts}}" or a similarly layed out page, as the value, and "start" and "end", which determine which of the 5 facts to return.
Example: {{#invoke:DYK|facts|text={{Dogcraft_Wiki:Did_you_know/Facts}}|start=1|end=2}}
generates:
- ... that the competitive aerial sport of Elytra racing was a popular pastime on the original Survival world, even before rocket-boosting was added to the game?
- ... that in Nitro UHC, if you build a snowman, it has a 75% chance of dropping 8 Lapis Lazuli?
