Some articles that were featured on DYK have gone on to become some of Misplaced Pages's featured or good content, in the form of ], ], or ].

==Most-viewed DYKs==
This section details all the most-viewed DYKs from the beginning of the available data - December 2007. Unfortunately the articles that appeared in the DYK section before that date do not have page view information and cannot be included.

===Rules===
<!--NOTE: These are not the rules that DYKUpdateBot links to. In order to keep DYKUpdateBot up to date you MUST update "User:Rjanag/Pageview stats" whenever these rules are changed.-->
#Use ]'s which will calculate the statistics for you based upon the date and time it was featured on the Main Page. You can use ] to find out whether it was posted during AM or PM (UTC); remembering that recent additions lists the time it was ''removed'' from the Main Page.
#:Historical (pre-2016) statistics are based on ] page view tool at http://stats.grok.se/. For more information on this tool, see http://stats.grok.se/about and ]. Please note that at some point since December 2013 this tool began compiling days using a 23:00 to 22:59 (UTC) time range to match the range that uses rather than the 00:00 to 23:59 (UTC) time range that it had previously used. Also, note that these statistics ]. For queries, go to Henrik's ] – missing stats are often the result of the tool being down or missing . Normally, you should count page views ''only for the day X when the article was featured''. Because of the timing of the stats collection, nearly all hooks which exit the main page around 00:00 UTC get extra DYK views on the next day X+1; in this case views for two consecutive days (X and X+1) should be summed.
#The views are counted and summed for all articles which were '''bolded''' (not merely linked) in the hook. If one or more bolded articles were moved while on the main page, add views for the main article(s) and the redirect page(s).
#This page aims to list the views originating from the DYK section of the main page. Some articles draw additional views unrelated to DYK. Those views are removed by subtracting a half sum on the days before and after, that is V<sub>X</sub> &minus; (V<sub>X&minus;1</sub> + V<sub>X+1</sub>) / 2. Example V<sub>X</sub>=18,400; V<sub>X&minus;1</sub>=4,400; V<sub>X+1</sub>=2,000; total=18,400&minus;(4,400+2,000)/2=15,200.
#Subject to rule 3, any article receiving at least 5,000 views (after subtracting background views) is eligible for listing on the "STATS" page. If you know of an article that has received more than 5,000 views while on DYK, feel free to add it to the list.
#Anyone is free to help by checking page views and listing hooks here that meet the requirements. Help is also welcome reviewing page views for earlier months where data is waiting to be mined (Jan–May 2008).
<!--NOTE: These are not the rules that DYKUpdateBot links to. In order to keep DYKUpdateBot up to date you MUST update "User:Rjanag/Pageview stats" whenever these rules are changed.-->

This Did you know statistics (DYK STATS) page is an attempt to recognize the DYK entries that have distinguished themselves, either by receiving an unusually high number of page views while being featured on DYK, or by going on to become some of Misplaced Pages's best content after appearing at DYK. The page illustrates the types of hooks that have been particularly successful in attracting readers. The statistics can be manually or semi-automatically updated.

For page view counts, there are separate lists for the all-time top hooks and the most effective hooks on a monthly basis. If you have thoughts on the format of this page, or whether it is useful, please post your comments on the Discussion page.

Please do not see this list as a competition, but rather a celebration of some of the most effective DYK hooks.

Please note that hits from outside the DYK section of the main page are also included here. That might include random clicks or direct searches, but also views from other parts of the main page which feature the same article on the same day.
