Main Page

[edit]
  • Reviewed: Not bothering, the Main Page is such a special page that it NEEDS to be on DYK with or without a QPQ.

Created by TwoOneTwo (talk). Nominated by Narutolovehinata5 (talk) at 00:39, 1 April 2019 (UTC).

  • General eligibility:
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - no
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Needs a citation for the hook. DannyS712 (talk) 01:16, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Source added for main hook. Alt1 needs a source (Wikipedia:You do need to cite that the sky is blue) --DannyS712 (talk) 01:22, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

This hook is false. The main page could be deleted, someone just has to modify MediaWiki:Mainpage first. Clever Wikipedians can always outsmart the software. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 01:31, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

@Pppery: and yet there is also MediaWiki:Group-sysop.css (starting at line 34)... --DannyS712 (talk) 01:33, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
Special:ApiSandbox#action=delete&title=Main Page. Your anti-deletionist tricks are futile! {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 01:37, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
Maybe I'm wrong --DannyS712 (talk) 01:39, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
No, no, no, you can't dismiss my attempts and let a utterly false hook get promoted to the main page so easily!. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 01:41, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
The above X symbol applies to the original hook. ALT1 isn't interesting enough, so there are no valid hooks and a new hook is needed. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 01:56, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
  • ALT2:... that Wikipedia's Main Page is the most amazing thing ever and you are reading it right now? Source: Yes
