SVG magnifier

{{Editprotected}}

Please change [[File:Magnify-clip.png| to [[File:Magnify-clip (sans arrow).svg|14px|. Please also protect File:Magnify-clip (sans arrow).svg against reuploading before the change, as this is a main page image, but will not be constantly cascade-protected (only when there is media of the day, so a vandal can upload something when there’s no MOTD, and it will appear on the main page when there is one). Protection against editing is not necessary, as the file description page is not linked (the MOTD’s description page is linked instead). Protection against moving seems also not necessary, as only filemovers and admins can move files anyway. Thanks in advance, —Tacsipacsi (talk) 19:25, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

 Done Awesome! Thank you! ~riley (talk) 06:53, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

@~riley: Thanks, but please also put the padlock icon ({{Protected}}) on the file description page. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:27, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

@Tacsipacsi: It's worth noting that in the time it took you to write this request, you could have done it yourself. Nonetheless, thanks for bringing it to my attention. I have too many tabs on the go it seems, found the edit page for the document left open and unsaved. ~riley (talk) 06:08, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

@~riley: I would do it myself if I could, it would be a lot easier indeed. But I couldn’t, because it’s used on the main page so it’s cascade-protected, which means not only that I can’t reupload it, but also that I cannot edit the description page (see phab:T24521). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 07:57, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Tomorrow's MOTD components

Tomorrow's MOTD components that will be transcluded by tomorrow's MOTD are now protected using cascading protection at Main Page/motd tomorrow. Created due to Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard#Main_page_issues. —RP88 (talk) 03:42, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

This uses a <div> instead of a one-column table. I also changed the date magic words to #time, which is shorter and provides a cleaner way to enforce using English (i.e. ASCII) numbers. Thanks in advance! —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:20, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

preload

{{Editprotect}}

add

|preload=Template:Motd/{{#time:Y-m-d|today|en}} (en)

to the first {{Edit}}, just like Main Page/potd. this makes translation easier by preloading the english description template when user tries to create new translation to their language. RZuo (talk) 17:56, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

 Done Awesome! Thank you! —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 00:46, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

i think this line (Template:Motd/help/en) should be differentiated from the caption, so i suggest this edit:

for

{{lang|{{{lang|en}}}|{{#ifexist:Template:Motd/help/{{{lang|en}}}|{{Motd/help/{{{lang|en}}}}}}}}}

insert an empty line before, and wrap it with double apostrophe, so that it starts its own line and becomes italic. RZuo (talk) 17:00, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
