Did you know

Draft Version: This page is in draft form; it should be taken as a proposal. Guidelines stated on this page are not in their final form and are subject to change.

This page contains submissions and guidelines for a proposed "Did you know?" section on the Main Page. The section will showcase interesting pieces of trivia about articles, showcasing interesting facts. This may then lead readers to click through to the main article to find out more information, with the goal of increasing discovery of pages and possibly ultimately enticing players to make their own.

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.
