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:15
(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:30
(this number changes daily){{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=4}}
generates:4
(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:17
(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=2}}
generates:24
(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=3}}
generates:31
(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=4}}
generates:6
(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=5}}
generates:13
(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 [VIP] rank, given as a reward to specific users, is a leftover Dogcraft.net forum rank that could be purchased c. 2012-2015.
- ... that during a tour of the City of Havana on Survival 3,
Skelleton123 gave
ReNDoG a T-Shirt dissing sister city Akkara and that the Akkarans returned the favor in their tour later that month?
- ... that in Nitro UHC, if you build a snowman, it has a 75% chance of dropping 8 Lapis Lazuli?
