This section of the History portal uses the following layout template:

{{Portal:History/Did you know/Layout

You may add a new selection to the first available numbered subpage below; to display your new selection, you must then increment the max= parameter on this page's {{Random portal component}} on the portal itself. Each selection should contain eight historically relevant and interesting did you know selections, that have been through the DYK process; in its current form its elements consist of relevant hooks from the list of most popular hooks, organized by month. Remember to avoid systematic bias; give regional and topical balance by, for instance, limiting the amount of WWII-related hooks to one or two per selection.
