How does this work?

[edit]

What creates this table? Is it bot-generated? I'm asking because it appears to be out of date (the oldest nomination is from 21 June, whereas the table has dates going back as far as 17 June). Schwede66 21:12, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I've only seen your question now. The table is created by User:WikiStatsBOT, and it appears to be updating every 30 minutes. —Bruce1eetalk 07:00, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Changing of label

[edit]

Shubinator: Would it be possible to change DYKHousekeepingBot to write "Approved" rather than "Verified" on the top of the last column of this template, like I did here? I feel this would make it clearer to people as "verified" sounds as if it means "sourced" (the article in question), because verify just means to prove true, whereas this table needs a word that indicates there is approval for main page display.

Sure, it's a straightforward fix. I'll tweak it the next time I log into the servers, likely within the next week. Shubinator (talk) 04:00, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's nearly 4 years later - I agree with replacing "Verified" by "Approved". Boud (talk) 19:36, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
