After working at Did you Know regularly, you will notice many mistakes which tie-up hook nominations, slowing down their progression to the main page. In some instances, this mistakes will cause the nomination to be declined.
It is because of this, I have provided an indepth step-by-step instruction on how to nominate an article, place an eligible hook, verifing another editors nomination, promting a hook to a prepartion area, and finally moving a set of hooks both manually and with use of adman tools.
This is to be used as a reference to new DYK contributers, admin-candidates, and new admins with limited experience in this field.
