This module is responsible for some of the functionality of the currently in-progress "Did you know" feature.

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.
Example: {{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=3}} generates: 21 (this number changes daily)

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}}" as the value, and "count", which determines how many facts to return.
Example: {{#invoke:DYK|facts|text={{Dogctaft_Wiki:Did_you_know}}|count=2}} generates:
Lua error in Module:DYK at line 41: attempt to compare number with nil.
