The "did you know" section is just a list of facts/information that is manually maintained. There is nothing special about it.

The article box randomly shows a page from one of two lists; featured articles and good articles. The lists are maintained manually and the randomization is done via a Lua module. This feature has nothing to do with which pages are "popular". If you want to achieve something similar, you can do it more simply using either the RandomSelection extension or DPL. For more information on how to do this, see Thread:1971785.
