 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:DYK top}}). |
Template is used to archive successful and unsuccessful DYK nominations when the discussion is closed.
Usage
The template has three variable choices for closing a nomination (input under the "passed" variable). y or yes will result in the nomination being archived as promoted, n or no will result in the nomination being archived as not promoted, and w or withdrawn will result in the nomination being archived as not promoted due to the nominator withdrawing the nomination.
Successful nominations will be closed with syntax similar to {{subst:DYK top|passed=yes|monthyear=January 2013}} placed at the top of the nomination.
Which produces the following top archive statement and tag:

Article currently at AFD and clearly has basic sourcing and content problems.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 14:22, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
AfD appears headed in the direction of "keep", and the article is being improved along the way; once the AfD closes one way or the other, it would be appropriate to re-review it to see if it then fulfills DYK requirements. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:18, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
- Article has exited AfD, but still has only about 1100 characters of prose. Chris857 (talk) 04:20, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- Problem fixed. Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 13:04, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- Article still only contains 1385 characters of prose. The hook isn't necessarily "hooky" and can use some reworking to deliver the same message in an easier way. The article is lacking in a large number of refs and is in general not fit for the main page as it stands. Ryan Vesey 09:32, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
