UDWiki:Did You Know

Community Portal – General Discussion – Wiki Questions – Featured Articles – Did You Know

Shortcut: DYK 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. The Did You Know template is to be updated once a week 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.

• ...that survivors once lost almost 10,000 active characters in the space of one hour? - Originally submitted by The Rooster

• ...that Danversbank has two mobile phone masts? - Originally submitted by The Rooster

Only the mast on the Barrow Building works, by the way. We conducted an experiment to find out for sure. We call the one on top of the Poulet Museum the phantom phone mast. --Paddy Dignam^{IS DEAD} 19:02, 30 March 2009 (BST)

I knew that, I'd happened across the info on the MPM talk page a while back. Worth mentioning that only one works you think? --  RoosterDragon  19:13, 30 March 2009 (BST)
