This is a list of the most prolific DYK contributors - those who have at least 25 contributions to DYK. If you feel that you have enough DYKs to qualify for this list, please feel free to update the list accordingly, but make sure you provide a viable reference source (such as, perhaps, a place on your user page where you document your number of DYK contributions). Also, if you know of a user who may challenge any of the people on this list, then the same applies, and references are needed to support a place on the list. Also note that it is very unlikely that the list is 100% accurate, because there are likely many Wikipedians out there whose DYKs have not been counted, or who choose not to display the number of DYKs they have. There is also the factor that the list is not automatically updated. Please also note that this list counts each user's DYK creations and nominations. This list also may be used to keep track of who needs to be awarded the 25 DYK medal, 50 DYK medal, 100 DYK medal, and 200 DYK medal.

A similar page, WP:DYKSTATS, records the DYKs that have received the most views while on the main page, and those that have gone on to become good or featured content.

On an important note: Please do not see this list as a competition, but rather a celebration of some of the hardest working DYK contributors, and the efforts they put in to DYK nominations.
