So I'm filling in for Chris while his computer is being repaired, but it seems that a lot of things haven't changed since I last schedule the POTD. For instance, the protected version still needs to be created manually on a daily basis. It seems like this should be able to be accomplished by bot. Could we engage {{u|AnomieBOT}} for this sort of work (ping {{u|Anomie}})? <span style="font-family:Verdana; ">—'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C;">howcheng</span>]]''' <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 22:52, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

: [[User:AnomieBOT III|AnomieBOT III]] is the adminbot, unless it's only template-protected in which case [[User:AnomieBOT II|AnomieBOT II]] could handle it. What exactly needs doing? [[User:Anomie|Anomie]][[User talk:Anomie|⚔]] 01:37, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Usage


Archiving of random multiple images

Template:POTD/2016-09-05 randomly selects one or other of two selected images (Template:POTD/2016-09-05/1 and Template:POTD/2016-09-05/2) with subtext "This image was chosen at random from a selection of 2. (view another image)" to notify the reader. For archive purposes it would be more convenient for Template:POTD/2016-09-05 to simply show both images, with subtext like "One of these two images was displayed on the Main Page, chosen at random for each user", and a link to Template:POTD protected/2016-09-05 for those who want to see what it actually looked like on the day. It's also liable to confuse some readers when "view another image" shows the same image again on refresh. jnestorius(talk) 09:28, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I always considered Wikipedia a non-partisan site. I think we all thought this. It certainly is what most of us hoped - and expected! It's a real pity to see that this is no longer the case!! LawrieM (talk) 20:53, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't we have a bot create the protected version?

So I'm filling in for Chris while his computer is being repaired, but it seems that a lot of things haven't changed since I last schedule the POTD. For instance, the protected version still needs to be created manually on a daily basis. It seems like this should be able to be accomplished by bot. Could we engage AnomieBOT for this sort of work (ping Anomie)? howcheng {chat} 22:52, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

AnomieBOT III is the adminbot, unless it's only template-protected in which case AnomieBOT II could handle it. What exactly needs doing? Anomie 01:37, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
