Wikipedia:Did you know/Hall of Fame is Wikipedia's online museum established to recognize and honor individuals for noteworthy contributions to the advancement of the Did You Know (DYK) project. In addition to enshrining those who have stood out through their creation of new Wikipedia article content recognized by DYK, this Hall of Fame enshrines those who have stood out through their participation in the DYK project itself. The shortcut for this page is WP:DYK/HoF.
DYK Article Content : Nominees may be added directly to the DYK Hall of Fame based on the number of DYK Content Awards they have received.
DYK Project: (i) Nominees may be added directly to the DYK Hall of Fame based on the number of DYK Nomination Awards they have received. (ii) Nominations to be added to the DYK Hall of Fame for other contribution to the project may be made on the DYK Hall of Fame talk page. To be added to the DYK Hall of Fame for other contribution to the project, the nominee must receive both a consensus of those participating in the talk page nomination and a consensus of those regular DYK members participating in the talk page nomination.
Enshrinement: Enshrinement of the honorees may take any form, including their name, descriptions of why they are included, graphics, plaque images, displays of memorabilia, and other images. In addition to others maintaining this page, the honoree may add to and revise their enshrinement.

[edit] DYK Project Contribution
DYK Project contribution comes in the form of suggesting articles for the DYK page, managing the DYK page, and otherwise contributing to the DYK project.
[edit] DYK Article Nomination Awards
Although DYK awards are given both for creating new article content and for nominating new content to DYK, there is a significant difference in the effort between creating new article content and nominating new content to DYK. Below is a list of the top DYK nominators by number of nominated articles added to DYK, including self-nominations.

[edit] The steeplechase
A steeplechase was originally a type of horse race where competitors hurried to the nearest church steeple, and developed into a formal race across an obstacle course of various challenges. Modern steeplechases can be either foot races or equestrian events.
The new Wikipedia steeplechase applies the idea of varied accomplishments to editing. It isn't exactly a triple crown; it's a challenge to contribute different types of featured content. To qualify for a steeplechase award, an editor must be a major contributor to at least 5 of Wikipedia's 6 different types of featured content:
No good articles or Did you know? entries are required for the steeplechase. Just create as many different kinds of featured content as possible. Submit steeplechase nominations to the same page as triple crown nominations. Pride of place and a special unique award will go to the first Wikipedian to complete the steeplechase requirements.
