==Posting the new update== *''Note: This is the manual method. When using [[WP:DYKADMINBOT]], the bot should automate all of the following except steps 1, 7, and 10. Update: Bot is currently working but not archiving, so step 6 also has to be done manually after each bot update until further notice.'' # Make sure the image/media for the [[Template:Did you know/Queue/{{User:DYKadminBot/count}}|hooks to be loaded]] is on English Wikipedia or protected on Commons. If the image/file is on Commons and not protected, upload it to En and tag it with {{tl|c-uploaded}}. You do not need to protect the picture; this is done automatically because of the [[WP:Cascading protection|cascading protection]] of the Main Page. Alternatively, if you are an admin at Commons you can protect the image/file at Commons instead of uploading to En. # Update [[T:DYK]] from [[Template:Did you know/Queue/{{User:DYKadminBot/count}}|the current queue]]. # [{{fullurl:Main Page|action=purge}} Purge the cache of the Main Page] to make sure the new entries appear. # [{{fullurl:Template:Did_you_know/Time|action=edit}} Reset] the [[Template:Did_you_know/Time|DYK time]]. # Increment the [[User:DYKadminBot/count|next queue count]]. # Copy the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Did_you_know&action=history ''previous'' set of hooks] (''not'' the new set just promoted to the front page) to [[Wikipedia:Recent additions|the archive]]. Be sure to copy the final revision of the set (should be the last diff on the [[T:DYK]] page before your update). Please include the picture/file. # Check if the previous picture/file was temporarily uploaded from Commons for display on the Main Page, and delete it from En if so. # If you have time, please do the credits for the hooks just promoted (see "Credits" section above). # Clear the queue you just promoted hooks from with {{tlu|User:DYKadminBot/REMOVE THIS LINE}}. # If you have time, check if [[T:DYK/P1|Preparation area 1]] or [[T:DYK/P2|Preparation area 2]] are full. Check the hooks for errors, and promote them to the next empty numbered queue if they're good. Clear the queue you took hooks from to look like [[Template:Did you know/Clear|this]]. Tag the numbered queue with <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:DYKbotdo|DYKbotdo]]<nowiki>|~~~}}</nowiki> once the queue is loaded and ready. [[Category:DYK templates for preparing updates]] </noinclude>
