On 11 August 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Allen Hall Theatre, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Lisa Warrington was responsible for painting the doors of Allen Hall Theatre red? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Allen Hall Theatre. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Allen Hall Theatre), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
