Topic-specific challenges

checkYAstronaut

Create four articles whose titles contain distinct Solar System objects from this list: the Sun; the planets and their moons; the IAU dwarf planets.[h] (For instance, Omar Sharif counts for Mars.)

checkYDecadent

Create bios for people who were born in each decade from the 1900s to the 1990s, inclusive. Bonus if each article falls under the scope of WikiProject Women in Red.

checkYElementary

Create four articles whose titles contain the consecutive letters "tin", "iron", "lead" and "gold". (For instance, Acting, Anti-nuclear movement or Betti number all count for "tin", but Avanti un altro! does not.)

checkYRainbow

Create articles whose titles contain the consecutive letters of a shade of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.[i] (Shades of cyan can count as blue or green, and magenta for purple. Names have to be listed at the given templates and can exclude the base colour name e.g. for robin egg blue, the title must contain "robin egg". Are druryi would count for "red".)

Switch

Receive a credit for a hook featured at Did you know? in every slot (from first to ninth) within the section.[c] (Until May 2024 this could be achieved with slots from first to eighth only.)

Notes

  1. Special thanks to Dumelow, Fritzmann2002, and voorts for the creative inspiration.
  2. Expanding from redirect is okay; must be an article (or list) when you create it, not a disambiguation page or redirect. Pick either the default sort or order of the verbatim title.
  3. The credit must be for content creation and not just nomination—in technical terms, a DYKmake rather than DYKnom credit.
  4. No mixing and matching! Choose one of the sections.
  5. The nominations don't all have to occupy the same calendar month—a set that contains nominations from April 1, August 2, December 3, February 4, and so on, would satisfy the requirement.
  6. Deprecated namespaces and the "transwiki" pseudo-namespace (but no other pseudo-namespaces) count.
  7. The edits are measured over the total account activity, and not over a single week.
  8. As of 2022: Ceres, Eris, Haumea, Makemake and Pluto.
  9. Six articles are required, one for each colour.
