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:8(this number changes daily){{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=2}}generates:15(this number changes daily){{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=3}}generates:23(this number changes daily){{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=4}}generates:30(this number changes daily){{#invoke:DYK|random|length=33|seed=5}}generates:4(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:28(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=2}}generates:3(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=3}}generates:10(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=4}}generates:17(this number changes weekly){{#invoke:DYK|randomW|length=33|seed=5}}generates:25(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 during periods where there was no server Dynmap, players took mapping into their own hands by creating the Great Survival Map (Survival 2) and later the Grand Map (Survival 3)?
- ... that the [VIP] rank, given as a reward to specific users, is a leftover Dogcraft.net forum rank that could be purchased c. 2012-2015.
- ... that during a tour of the City of Havana on Survival 3,
Skelleton123 gave
ReNDoG a T-Shirt dissing sister city Akkara and that the Akkarans returned the favor in their tour later that month?
