Did you know

Latest revision as of 18:10, 28 August 2022

This page is about the Did you know? section that appears at the bottom of the new page with interesting facts and trivia. Every day, three facts are automatically randomly selected and displayed in the section. The idea is that the section provides an interesting way of discovering pages by interested players and may even entice them to write their own articles. The Did you know? items are community sourced, so if you have a neat fact then read on to find out how to add it!

Today's section

Did you know...

... that in Nitro UHC, the Ender Dragon, Illusioners, Zombie Horses and Withers all have special loot tables despite there being no way for these mobs to be spawned or summoned?

... that during periods of downtime on the Dogcraft Server, Temporary Worlds are often put up - and that there have been at least 6 of these?

... that although the Dogcraft Server was launched officially in 2015, a number of unofficial servers operated as a precursor since at least 2012?

Format

Criteria

The item should contain a link to an article and a corresponding interesting piece of trivia.
The item can be niche and specific, but must be interesting to the general public viewing the wiki.
The item should be written from a neutral POV. You're encouraged to write an item about your base but again it must be something unique about it.
The item should start with an asterisk (*) to create a bullet, then a space, three periods (not the ellipsis character "…") and a space; and end with a question mark.
The item should be concise: fewer than about 200 characters (including spaces and the question mark, but not including the ...). While 200 is an outside limit, DYK items slightly under 200 characters may still be rejected if it formats badly or doesn't fit.

Examples

Did you know...

... that milk can come from cows?
... that if lightening strikes a mooshroom, it changes color?
... that the Dogcraft Server was started in 2015?

Adding an item

To add a DYK item, edit the Dogcraft Wiki:Did you know/Submissions page and add one to the format outlined above.
