This is a list of DYK hooks that were pulled from the Main Page in 2023–2024, including those that were rewritten in situ or replaced with a pre-approved alt. Its aim is to assist in ongoing DYK reform efforts by giving editors an overview of why and how often hooks are pulled, and by providing quick access to relevant discussions.
