23 editor Template:DYK checklist unfortunately can't parse comments in the fields it uses as a sign of approval, only the 'y' tag. Without this parsing, the template won't realise the review has been passed and promote to the approved nom page. Since you've approved the hook, I've been bold and fixed the template formatting so that the bot will transfer it over. If you disagree at all with my edit, please feel completely free to revert!
