Time to change the "Tweet" links for Picture of the Day and Media of the Day

Twitter has changed quite significantly since these links were originally put in place, and it seems time to think about getting rid of them. Daniel Mietchen (talk) 10:35, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Support It would be best avoiding Twitter/X. Yann (talk) 10:38, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Support I really don't see a need. Let's just avoid X. ─ The Aafī (talk) 12:52, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good to me. I would suggest replacing it with a link to the fedi-share tool, to promote sharing on the Fediverse. Legoktm (talk) 04:14, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Typo on “Media Of The Day” Needs to be corrected.

“Warntag nation wide test alarm in Germany via Cell Broadcast, schedulued to start at 11:00 but starting a few seconds early”. “Schedulued” should be corrected to “Scheduled”. Vivbyte (talk) 13:29, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate arguments in template calls

The following arguments of Main Page Template are duplicated and only the last values are used:

  • Announcement Title
  • Announcement Text

-- ato (talk) 12:08, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because there are apparently two announcements? One of the WLA and the other WLF, and WLF appears at the last, so its values are used. ─ Aafī (talk) 14:20, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. And the Main Page landed in Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls, below Category:Pages with incorrect template usage. -- ato (talk) 11:21, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Anthere: FYI. ─ Aafī (talk) 11:26, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
noted... thanks Anthere (talk) 21:47, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Typo at "Media of the day"

"situaded" should be "situated". Maproom (talk) 21:01, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Thanks for the fix. —RP88 (talk) 21:13, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
