Did You Know?
This is the project page for coordinating the content of the "Did You Know" section on the Main Page and Community Portal. DYKs are short, factual quips to reveal interesting facts on Urban Dead. It's important that these facts are neutral and no more than 200 words. In addition, they should not boast or defame groups or users.

The Did You Know template is to be updated once in a while from the selection of DYKs, with the ones waiting the longest being added first, limited to a max of roughly 10 (depending on the length). Did You Knows should be Urban Dead (or zombie) related and should be duplicates.

Current Did You Know?

Nominations

Add your suggestions here at the bottom and sign with four tildes (~~~~) or Sign.png. If there is no significant disagreement with the DYK, update the template once a week from the top 10 or so from this list.
