User:DYKBot/credits

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The credits are basically as normal with a few formatting changes:

  • Every credit, nom or otherwise must be on a new line
  • If a user has submitted or nominated multiple articles, their username must be appended by different amounts of spaces (explained below)

Syntax[edit]

DYKmake[edit]

  • Normal:
    • {{DYKmake|Article name|Author's name}}
  • Commented - the bot will append a comment to the credit
    • {{DYKmake|Article name|Author's name|Comment}}

DYKnom[edit]

  • Normal:
    • {{DYKnom|Article name|Author's name}}
  • Commented - the bot will append a comment to the credit
    • {{DYKnom|Article name|Author's name|Comment}}

Multiple entries[edit]

You will have to view the source of this section to get the idea

Unfortunately if a person has submitted multiple articles that are in the same queue a small change is requires. Their username must appear to be different to the bot, otherwise the bot will keep giving them the credit for the first instance in which their username appears. There should be a way round this but for now this work-around will have to suffice;

  • The mediawiki software treats usernames the same regardless of how many spaces follow it, therefore if a person has multiple articles add spaces after their username:
    • {{DYKmake|Foo|Editor}}
    • {{DYKmake|Bar|Editor }}
    • {{DYKmake|Cad|Editor }}
    • {{DYKmake|Daf|Editor }}
    • {{DYKmake|Ead|Editor }}
    • ... and so on
    • {{DYKnom|Foo|Editor}}
    • {{DYKnom|Bar|Editor }}
    • {{DYKnom|Cad|Editor }}
    • {{DYKnom|Daf|Editor }}
    • {{DYKnom|Ead|Editor }}
    • ... and so on
  • With comments:
    • {{DYKmake|Foo|Editor|Comment}}
    • {{DYKmake|Bar|Editor |Comment}}
    • {{DYKmake|Cad|Editor |Comment}}
    • {{DYKmake|Daf|Editor |Comment}}
    • {{DYKmake|Ead|Editor |Comment}}
    • ... and so on
    • {{DYKnom|Foo|Editor|Comment}}
    • {{DYKnom|Bar|Editor |Comment}}
    • {{DYKnom|Cad|Editor |Comment}}
    • {{DYKnom|Daf|Editor |Comment}}
    • {{DYKnom|Ead|Editor |Comment}}
    • ... and so on
