This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. This notice will automatically hide itself when the backlog is cleared. |
To report errors in queues, please place a message at WT:DYK or WP:ERRORS. |
There are currently 2 filled queues. Admin assistance in moving preps is requested.
When modifying a hook in a queue or prep area (other than minor formatting fixes), please notify the nominator by including a link of the form [[User:JoeEditor]]
in your edit summary. (Ping templates like {{u|JoeEditor}}
don't work in edit summaries.)
Administrators: Please ensure that there is always at least one queue filled at all times, to prevent overdue updates to the Main Page.
This page gives an overview of all DYK hooks currently scheduled for promotion to the Main Page. By showing the content of all queues and prep areas in one place, the overview helps administrators see how full the queues are, and also makes it easier for users to check that their hook has been promoted or to find hooks for copy-editing. Hooks removed from queues or prep areas for unresolved issues should have their nominations reopened and retranscluded at the nomination page.
You may need to purge this page to get it to display the latest edits.
The next update will be produced from Queue 6. After performing a manual update, please update the pointer to the next queue.
