== Old POTD mechanism ==

Hi Angela,

Do you know how the older version of POTD used to work?.

Today, I came across a couple of users who include
:<nowiki>{{msg:pic_of_the_day_{{CURRENTDAYNAME}}}}</nowiki>
on their user page. However ] and similar
are stuck on POTDs from last November, because no one has been updating them
since the move over the the newer auto-archive version of POTD. However, I noticed
that you've edited some of these pages before ] took over.

I was thinking to replace each of the
with a redirect to ], but I wasn't sure this would
do the trick and it would lead to some double/tripple redirects. There also seems to be a set of ],
but I have no idea what they are for (interface messages?).

An alternative might be to update each user page linking to the older templates and then delete the POTD-Dayname templates. -- ] 18:43, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the note at http://mi.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages:K%C3%B6rero&curid=629&diff=0&oldid=0 - Regrettably, we still have no regular contributors on "mi" who are fluent Maori speakers. We have fairly new contributors who are native Taiwanese and Galician, but their knowledge of Maori is not even up to my standard yet. One day... - Robin Patterson 20:30, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Tagline for Indonesian Misplaced Pages

I know this may not be the best place to ask about Indonesian Misplaced Pages. But how can I put a tagline (like the "" in English Misplaced Pages) in the Indonesian Misplaced Pages? Can you take a look at it please? Thanks! Hayabusa future 00:39, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

See Wikicities:Help:Tagline. You need to edit id:MediaWiki:Tagline and id:MediaWiki:Monobook.css. Angela. 00:45, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
It worked, thanks! Hayabusa future 01:02, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

OII

Hi Angela,

Sorry to bother you again, I just want to check Jimbo did get the invitation to talk at the Oxford Internet Institute in the end, and it wasn't buried under a pile of spam. I'd hate for it to fall through cos of an accidentally deleted e-mail. (I posted a message on Jimbo's talk page about this, but he's maybe not quite as organised as you are...)

Thanks, --cfp 16:00, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Old POTD mechanism

Hi Angela,

Do you know how the older version of POTD used to work?.

Today, I came across a couple of users who include

{{msg:pic_of_the_day_{{CURRENTDAYNAME}}}}

on their user page. However Template:Pic of the day Tuesday and similar are stuck on POTDs from last November, because no one has been updating them since the move over the the newer auto-archive version of POTD. However, I noticed that you've edited some of these pages before User:Solitude took over.

I was thinking to replace each of the with a redirect to Template:Pic of the day, but I wasn't sure this would do the trick and it would lead to some double/tripple redirects. There also seems to be a set of MediaWiki:Pic of the day Tuesday, but I have no idea what they are for (interface messages?).

An alternative might be to update each user page linking to the older templates and then delete the POTD-Dayname templates. -- Solipsist 18:43, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
