[edit] Purpose
The purpose of this template is to signal that an entry from a particular article has made it to the DYK column on main page. --Gurubrahma 10:59, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

It is to be placed on the talkpages of articles from which the DYK entry was featured. --Gurubrahma 10:59, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions
The objective in creating this template is to accord some mileage to a DYK entry, and thus, improve the quality of DYK suggestions, leading to creation of better articles in the first place. Vaoverland's comments elsewhere about listing DYK facts on talk pages inspired me to design this template so that some of the grunt work is removed. I envisage that this template would be used voluntarily by updating admins AND that it should not be made compulsary for them; as it is, updating DYK is strenuous. Even if the admin does not add them to the talkpages, the creators of the article themselves can do so. Suggestions to improve this template are welcomed. --Gurubrahma 10:59, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
