Howto sign[edit]

Hello! Your Rpotd is a good idea. When I sign, it is usually with tildes, and my signature differs from my username. Your template rewrites any name, e.g. ABC, to produce [[User:ABC|ABC]]|[[User_talk:ABC|talk]].

I hope that you do not mind when the contents of your rpotd is updated because of this, but, if you know of a method, please state it clearly on your page. Thanks. -- DLL ^{.. T} 22:07, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you can change it any time if you want to. That is just a basic outline... GeorgeMoney (talk) 22:21, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible?[edit]

Is it possible to change the size of the table for the RPODT to 100%? KeybladeSephi ^(Talk)_{(Contributions)} 17:06, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. - Patricknoddy^{TALK (reply here)}^|^HISTORY 21:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changes[edit]

I've made some changes to the whole RPOTD set up. Most of the changes were to give the user a degree of customisablity (like the original POTD). Now the user is able to specify the format how the image is displayed (while allowing it to change everday).
{{RPOTD/{{#time:F j, Y}}|image}} gives you only the image of the day's name. I figure I'd better let everyone know my intentions so nobody's going "what heck is going on, what is this idiot doing!". I made sure nothing was disrupted while I was moving things. ~~All the created days should be moved from the "User:GeorgeMoney/potd/" prefix to "Template:RPOTD/".~~ Never mind that, figured a way around the different prefixes.

Also figured how to put in the current date without a lot of typing. {{#time:F j, Y}} gives you May 9, 2024.

"F"=the current month name
"j"=the day of the month
"Y"=the 4-digit year

Request for help concerning energy...[edit]

Hi,

I noticed you listed yourself as a participant of the Energy WikiProject.

There are 2 new outlines in this area that attempt to consolidate Wikipedia's coverage of their respective subjects, gathering and organizing the articles about them into one place and including descriptions for convenience. The purposes of these outlines are to make it easier for readers to survey or review a whole subject, and to choose from Wikipedia's many articles about it.

The new energy outlines are:

Outline of solar energy
Outline of wind energy

Please take a look at them, and....

if you spot missing topics, add them in.

if you can, improve the descriptions.

add missing descriptions.

show parent-offspring relationships (with indents).

fix errors.

For more information about the format and functions of outlines, see Wikipedia:Outlines.

Building outlines of existing material (such as Wikipedia) is called "reverse outlining". Reverse outlines are useful as a revision tool, for identifying gaps in coverage and for spotting poor structuring.

Revising a work with multiple articles (such as Wikipedia) is a little different than revising a paper. But the general principles are the same...

As you develop these outlines, you may notice things about the articles they organize. Like what topics are not adequately covered, better ways to structure and present the material, awkward titles, articles that need splitting, article sections lacking {{Main}} links, etc.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Outlines.

Thank you. Sincerely, The Transhumanist 00:47, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate Stats[edit]

Hello,

I know it will likely change once the day is over, but the stats are saying that there is a picture for May 8, 2024, however, there isn't. I don't know why this is happening. It would be great if someone fix it! Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 20:51, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
