Images

Don't forget to add an {{mprotected}} notice to the image description page (or {{C-uploaded}} plus a copy of the author attribution and the licence tag if you have uploaded a temporary copy from Commons).

After posting the new update

Note: This is the old manual method. For updates copied to the bot queue, the bot currently automates all of the following except steps 3 and 5.

After copying DYK entries to Template:Did you know, please do the following:

Purge the cache of the Main Page to make sure the new entries appear;
Reset the DYK time;
Delete the previous image (if c-uploaded from commons) or unprotect and remove the tag (if m-protected);
Copy the previous set of hooks (not the new set just promoted to the front page) to Misplaced Pages:Recent additions. Be sure to copy the final revision of the set (should be the last diff on the T:DYK page before your update).
If you have time, please do the credits for the hooks just promoted (see "Credits" section above).
