Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

Displays the English Wikipedia's current picture of the day (POTD) in a box of no more than 600 pixels wide, without the blurb (explanatory text), for use on user pages. To always display the current day's POTD, use {{POTD}}; to permanently feature a particular day's POTD, use {{POTD|date=[date]}}, where the [date] parameter can be given in any valid format.

It is also possible to create your own custom POTD layouts, in case the already-existing versions will not look good within your user page design. Mix and match the following components to make your own. This system will only work for POTDs selected beginning January 1, 2007. Be sure to replace [date] with an appropriate date value. For a dynamically updating version, use {{#time:Y-m-d}} (example: {{POTD/{{#time:Y-m-d}}|image}}).

Template	Description	Renders as
`{{POTD/[date]\|image}}`	The name of the image, without the `File:` prefix	Woman lighting the candles for the Festival of Lights in India (cropped).jpg
`{{POTD/[date]\|size}}`	The size of the image, without the trailing `px`	500
`{{POTD/[date]\|caption}}`	The image caption (blurb)	Diwali is a five-day Hindu festival of lights which symbolises the spiritual victory of light over darkness and good over evil. It commemorates the day when Hindu god Rama, along with his wife-consort Sita and brother Lakshmana, returned to his kingdom of Ayodhya after defeating demon-king Ravana and following 14 years of exile. Celebrations peak on the night of the third day of the festival—the main day of Diwali, which is today—marking the darkest night of the Hindu lunisolar calendar. People celebrate on this day by lighting traditional lamps (diyas) and candles. Pictured here is a woman lighting candles on Diwali.
`{{POTD/[date]\|title}}`	A link to the article the image represents	Diwali
`{{POTD/[date]\|texttitle}}`	A linkless short caption, also useful as an alt attribute	Diwali
`{{POTD/[date]\|credit}}`	The credit line of the image, including the genre (e.g. photograph, painting)	Photograph credit: AjoyDutta1997; edited by Aristeas

There are two additional predefined layouts:

{{POTD/{{#time:Y-m-d}}|column}}: This has the image and caption above each other with no borders. Used on some of the Main Page alternatives and also suitable for user pages.
{{POTD/{{#time:Y-m-d}}|row}}: This has the image and caption encapsulated in (usually) a single table row. This is the version used on the current Main Page.

It is also possible to permanently feature a POTD for a selected day. Just add a specific value for the date you want. For example, today's POTD is {{POTD/2024-11-01|image}}. Likewise, you can use date parameters with the other templates as well. If you like the pre-made formats, you can use date parameters there as well, like this: {{Pic of the day|date=2024-11-01}} or {{POTD|date=2024-11-01}}. Again, this system will only work for POTDs selected beginning January 1, 2007.
