Whoah, can't wait for the next DYK update! :P -- OstPavel (talk • contributions) 20:49, 23 April 2014 (CEST)

Just wondering, should we perhaps (also) make a little widget that picks one DYK/funfact at random from the list? That should be possible using choose/option tags... {{User:dgelessus/Did you know?}} --dgelessus (talk · contribs) 21:07, 23 April 2014 (CEST)

Nice! Yeah, I am up for it! -- OstPavel (talk • contributions) 23:44, 23 April 2014 (CEST)

Unfortunately transcluding the thing multiple times will always show the same result, and I haven't been able to find a workaround yet. Otherwise it would be possible to simply transclude the random fact five times in a list, so every time you view the page you would get five new facts. --dgelessus (talk · contribs) 23:51, 23 April 2014 (CEST)

Well, as we don't have many facts right now, we may as well have one fact shown at a time. -- OstPavel (talk • contributions) 12:45, 24 April 2014 (CEST)

Supplying an empty parameter forces the randomizer to use a new seed:

...that in the earliest version of BuildCraft all machines were powered only using Redstone timers?

List of facts – Add a fact

...that EnderIO was originally developed for MC 1.6.x, but had to be backported to MC 1.5.x because of the popularity of 1.5 packs at that time?

List of facts – Add a fact

...that ComputerCraft Disk Drives can also play Music Discs?

List of facts – Add a fact

You can get repeats, but it's not always the same fact. --timrem (talk) 18:45, 25 April 2014 (CEST)

Ooh nice, lemme try that.

Did you know that...

There is of course a chance for dupes, but it seems to mostly work fine. We could just implement it like this. --dgelessus (talk · contribs) 18:59, 25 April 2014 (CEST)

...that if you right click a Rain Muffler, it will mute rain wherever you go?
