Template talk:Did you know nominations/India national football team at the Asian Games

200 Character

@Mandarax:, when I was nominating, the template auto counts the character as 192 or so which is below 200, the limit is on characters which is displayed, in the displayed text the number of characters is below 200. For eg: If India national football team is linked as India the number of character is 5 instead of 25. However, I am making bold as you advised. Let me know what else to be corrected.

Drat8sub, the nomination form gives a rough estimate, but it is not perfect. I just put the wikitext of that hook into the form, and it said it's 248 characters, but the actual correct current count is 242. You can check this by going to the nom page and clicking on "Hook length" in the DYK toolbox on the right. You can also copy the rendered text (everything from "that" to the "?") and paste it into an online character counter. Or you can just manually count them. In any case, as I said in my edit summary, it's way over the 200-character limit, and you'll have to either remove that hook or drastically trim it. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 18:38, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Yeah....just seen that, I've modified the hook to reduce the size. Kindly, check if it's ok now. Thank you. Drat8sub (talk) 21:44, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

All three hooks are now acceptable lengths. Thanks for taking care of it. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 22:23, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
