== Genshin Impact in the Did You Know section ==

I noticed that [[Genshin Impact]] has been getting mentioned quite often in the Did You Know section of the English front page. I just want it known that it has been noticed.

:I haven't noticed that myself (I usually don't pay attention to DYK), but I have noticed that there's a lot of [[Taylor Swift]] and [[Meghan Trainor]]-related FAs on the main page throughout the years. Oh look, there's one on the MP right now! [[User:Some1|Some1]] ([[User talk:Some1|talk]]) 04:17, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
:That was the pattern a couple of years ago on Chinese Wikipedia. Back then I tried to hit the brakes but to no avail and I don't bother messing with Genshin editors since. If the same pattern happens here, are people translating from Chinese Wikipedia?

::I don't know how big the genshin article space is but it will presumably one day hit a limit. I suspect that limit will be when genshin becomes a GA topic. [[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]] ([[User talk:Chipmunkdavis|talk]]) 01:43, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
:::It seems to have bypassed GA and gone [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Genshin Impact/archive1|straights to FAC]].  I hadn't even heard of this until it showed up there, but this wouldn't be the first time I'm out of touch with the latest pop craze :-) [[User:RoySmith|RoySmith]] [[User Talk:RoySmith|(talk)]] 21:17, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
::::Yes, I had to link Genshin Impact in the opening statement to know what it was. I'm of the age now when I don't care about people thinking me out of touch. [[User:Phil Bridger|Phil Bridger]] ([[User talk:Phil Bridger|talk]]) 13:52, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
:::I don't think so. Genshin is a continuously updating gacha game. So long as the game is still delivering new contents (it is a stable source of income for MiHoYo/HoYoVerse and somewhat endorsed by Chinese authorities to show off their soft powers), I doubt people would ever run out of articles to write. Genshin has a stable fan base in China and never runs out of sources for now. There is an active pool of editors willing to devote their time to source digging and writing articles, which is no small feat. The same applies to Mario/Zelda/The Simpsons etc. [[User:MilkyDefer|<span style="color:#09C">Milky</span>]][[User talk:MilkyDefer|'''<span style="color:#F09">Defer</span>''']] 13:04, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
:Anyone can nominate an article to DYK, so long as they're willing to put in the effort to write the article and bring it to a sufficient quality. This often means that one person or a small group of people interested in a topic will write and nominate several articles about that topic.
