The other notifications must be done before the preparation area page can be reset. ==Images== *Don't forget to add an ''{{tl|mprotected}}'' notice to the image description page (or ''{{tl|C-uploaded}}'' '''plus''' a copy of the author attribution and the licence tag if you have uploaded a temporary copy from Commons). *Alternatively, consider crediting the image file page even if the file is from Commons: <code>{{tlx|DYKfile|{{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}|{{CURRENTYEAR}}|type=image}}</code> ==Manually posting the new update (if the bot is down) == *''Note: This is the manual method. When using [[User:DYKUpdateBot|DYKUpdateBot]], the bot should automate all of the following except steps 1 and 11.'' # Make sure the image/media for the [[Template:Did you know/Queue/{{Template:Did you know/Queue/Next}}|hooks to be loaded]] is on English Wikipedia or protected on Commons. If the image/file is on Commons and not protected, upload it to En and tag it with {{tl|c-uploaded}}. You do not need to protect the picture; this is done automatically because of the [[WP:Cascading protection|cascading protection]] of the Main Page. Alternatively, if you are an admin at Commons you can protect the picture/file at Commons instead of uploading to En. # Update [[T:DYK]] from [[Template:Did you know/Queue/{{Template:Did you know/Queue/Next}}|the current queue]]. # [[Special:Purge/Main Page|Purge the cache of the Main Page]] to make sure the new entries appear. # [[Special:Edit/Template:Did you know/Next update/Time|Reset]] the [[Template:Did you know/Next update/Time|DYK time]]. # Increment the [[Template:Did you know/Queue/Next|next queue pointer]]. # Copy the [[Special:PageHistory/Template:Did you know|''previous'' set of hooks]] (''not'' the new set just promoted to the front page) to [[Wikipedia:Recent additions|the archive]]. Be sure to copy the final revision of the set (it should be the last diff on the [[T:DYK]] page before your update), and place the timestamp of the DYK update you just made above it. Please include the picture/file. # Check if the previous picture/file was temporarily uploaded from Commons for display on the Main Page, and delete it from En if so. # On the local description page of the picture/file for the ''previous'' set of hooks, add <code><nowiki>{{DYKfile|</nowiki>{{#time:j F{{!}}Y}}<nowiki>|type=image}}</nowiki></code> (occasionally replacing <code>image</code> with <code>video</code> where appropriate). Note that, like the archives, this will create a one-day misalignment between the date on the file page and the date it actually appeared in DYK. # If you have time, please do the credits for the hooks just promoted (see "Credits" section above). # Clear the queue you just promoted hooks from with <code><nowiki>{{User:DYKUpdateBot/REMOVE THIS LINE}}</nowiki></code>. # If you have time, check if there are any full preparation areas. Check the hooks for errors, and promote them to the next empty numbered queue if they're good. Clear the prep you took hooks from to look like [[Template:Did you know/Clear|this]]. Tag the numbered queue with {{tlx|DYKbotdo|<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>}} once the queue is loaded and ready. {{#switch: {{substr|{{FULLPAGENAME}}|0|28}} | Template:Did you know/Queue/ = {{pp-template}} | Template:Did you know/Prepar = {{pp-move|small=yes}} }} {{template other|{{sandbox other||[[Category:Wikipedia Did you know preparing updates templates]]}}}} </noinclude>
