@DYK admins: , any reason this hasn't been promoted yet? AryKun (talk) 07:58, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is the urgency? Schwede 66 08:16, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Schwede66, it's been a couple months since I was nominating articles for DYK regularly, but articles with passed QPQs used to be promoted to a prep set within a week, and it's been over two weeks now. Has DYK gotten a lot slower now? AryKun (talk) 15:58, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just wait. It'll happen. And note that it’s not admins who promote approved nominations to prep; that step is done by DYK volunteers. Hence there is no reason to ping all the DYK admins. Schwede 66 18:06, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
