Template-protected edit request on 1 July 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the template-protected template at Template:DYK archive header.
(edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · transclusion count · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.

Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the template's sandbox before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

I suggest changing " ... follow the archive link in the DYK talk page message box." to " ... follow the archive link in the DYK talk page message box (or the Article Milestones box)."

Reason: Many DYK articles (e.g. many GA articles) have a "Milestone" box and the DYK links are inside that. Those articles will not have a "DYK talk page message box". The suggested change makes the instructions more helpful to editors. Noleander (talk) 16:06, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please link to a couple pages as examples. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:32, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Examples of Talk pages that have the DYK links within the "Milestones" box of the Talk page (and do not have a "DYK talk page message box"):

The template is actually called "Article history" but milestones is displayed on the template. So I'm not sure what wording to use — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:29, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
