This module is responsible for the functionality of the Did you know? facts that appear on the main page. It does this by randomly pulling a number of facts from the content of the Dogcraft Wiki:Did you know/Facts page.
Functions:
random
The "random" function can generate up to 5 random numbers per day. Its arguments are "length", which sets the highest random number it can select (default is 30), and "seed", which can select between the 5 daily numbers. Seed accepts numbers from 1 to 5.
Examples:
{{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=1}}generates:3(this number changes daily){{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=2}}generates:11(this number changes daily){{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=3}}generates:18(this number changes daily){{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=4}}generates:25(this number changes daily){{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=5}}generates:33(this number changes daily)
randomW
The "randomW" function can generate up to 5 random numbers per week. Its arguments are "length", which sets the highest random number it can select (default is 30), and "seed", which can select between the 5 daily numbers. Seed accepts numbers from 1 to 5.
Examples:
{{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=1}}generates:18(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=2}}generates:25(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=3}}generates:32(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=4}}generates:7(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=5}}generates:14(this number changes weekly)
facts
The "facts" function, which returns up to 5 facts per day, selected from Dogcraft_Wiki:Did_you_know. Its arguments are "text", which expects "{{Dogcraft_Wiki:Did_you_know/Facts}}" or a similarly layed out page, as the value, and "start" and "end", which determine which of the 5 facts to return.
Example: {{#invoke:DYK|facts|text={{Dogcraft_Wiki:Did_you_know/Facts}}|start=1|end=2}} generates:
- ... that for a time it was possible to purchase Mall plots via a menu on the Dogcraft.net website?
- ... that the Dogcraft Build Team were formed from the players who helped build the Spawn of Survival 2?
(this changes daily)
