Wikipedia:Tip of the day/January 21, 2007

Displaying tips on your userpage

If you would like to display the tip of the day on your userpage, here's how:

Edit your userpage and insert one or more of the following strings:


 * totd-random – this is the tip of the moment template, which automatically displays a different tip every time you enter a page it is on (to a maximum of one time per minute). If it doesn't update, try clearing your browser cache.
 * totd – the main userspace version of the tip of the day template, with border, centered in the middle of the page. Complete with inspirational lightbulb.
 * totd b – a more compact version of the above template. Useful for columns.
 * totd-tomorrow – this shows tomorrow's tip, and is used by Wikipedia tipsters to make sure that the tips never run out. If they did run out, a red link would show up on Wikipedia's Community Portal and Help Page, which would be very embarrassing.  This template shows the redlink one day in advance, as an early-warning system.
 * Tip of the day – the borderless version, with lightbulb.
 * Tip of the day - community portal – the underlined-heading version used on the community portal. (No lightbulb).
 * totd2 – the borderless version used on Wikipedia's Help page (which already has its own borders). (No lightbulb).
 * totd3 – a purple box version, useful for displaying the tip in columns.
 * totd CP – like the help page version, but with a box. Spans the whole field (screen or column) that it is in.
