Note: Because a preponderance of hooks on the approved nominations page are biographies or U.S.-related, it is usually appropriate to have several hooks on biographies or U.S. topics in any given set, but never more than half from either category.

Credit templates[edit]
You can also give out credits using the following templates:
- Article talk page: ({{DYK talk}})
{{DYK talk|27 April|2023|entry= ... that ...?|nompage=Template:Did you know nominations/Article name}}
(check if small style templates in use, if so add|small=yes

{{subst:UpdatedDYK|27 April|2023|Article name}}--~~~~
- Nominator’s talk page: ({{UpdatedDYKNom}})
{{subst:UpdatedDYKNom|27 April|2023|Article name}}--~~~~

- Alternatively, consider crediting the image file page even if the file is from Commons:

Manually posting the new update (if the bot is down)[edit]
- Note: This is the manual method. When using DYKUpdateBot, the bot should automate all of the following except steps 1 and 11.
