This will definitely save a lot of work, or at least provide a default in case no one bothers to write new tips. They'll need to be monitored for relevance and be updated in cases in which they no longer apply, but that's pretty obvious.

So the tips will be displayed in the same order, year after year? That'll create some deja vu! . Is there any way to randomize the tips so that on any particular day the same tip is displayed for everybody throughout the whole day?  Th e Tr ans hu man ist  23:50, 6 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Anything is possible. My first thought was to do something like that - daily randomization - but a concern for high profile pages is reviewability.  That's why I went with a more simple and predictable approach.  It's also always possible to mix up - switch around - content if anyone want to do that. Rfrisbietalk 00:37, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * All looks good to me. --Quiddity 03:17, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

If I see no objections by the weekend, I'm going to convert the templates over to use the yearless pages. Rfrisbietalk 05:25, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
