Jacques protected Madison Pizza Wiki:Did you know [Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) Pool of Main Page hooks; administrators only

New page

The Main Page's "Did you know?" box shows three of these hooks for a week at a time, picked at random by the DailyFeatures extension (administrators can reorder the queue on [[Special:DailyFeatures]]). Every bullet line below is one hook; anything else on the page is ignored. The facts must appear, with a citation, in the linked article, and hooks don't name private individuals. Add new hooks when you write new articles; the comment after each hook says where the fact comes from.
