Tip of the day...
Displaying tips on your user page

If you would like to display the Wikipedia tip of the day on your User page, here is how:

Edit your User page and insert one or more of the following bolded strings (including the four curly braces), preview your edit, and when it looks right, save it.

To see a visual display of the below templates check out the Tip of the Day Display template gallery.

  • {{totd}} – the main userspace version of the tip of the day template, with border, centered in the middle of the page. Complete with inspirational light bulb. Border color can be custom modified.
  • {{totd b}} – a more compact version of the above template. Useful for columns.
  • {{totd3}} – a purple box version, useful for displaying the tip in columns.
  • {{totd-random}} – this is the tip of the moment template, which automatically displays a different tip every time you enter a page it is on. If it doesn't update, try clearing your browser cache.
  • {{totd-tomorrow}} – this shows tomorrow's tip, and is used by Wikipedia tipsters to make sure that the tips are up-to-date and corrected before they go live.
  • {{tip of the day}} – the borderless version, with light bulb.
  • {{tip of the day with h3 heading}} – the tip in heading/paragraph format (No light bulb).
  • {{totd2}} – the borderless version used on Wikipedia's Help page (which already has its own borders). (No light bulb).
  • {{totd CP}} – like the help page version, but with a box and light bulb. Spans the whole field (screen or column) that it is in.
  • {{totd-static}} –  like the totd version but the date is static. You have to manually change the date. Good for testing purposes.



To have the current day's tip and tomorrow's tip show up at the bottom of your talk page, below the last message, paste this code anywhere on your talk page (preferably at the top):

<ref>{{totd}}</br>{{right|{{today cell}}{{spaces|5}}}}{{totd-tomorrow}}</ref>


To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use
{{tip of the day}}

John Mooney's Page

edit

Hi,

I read an article in the Economist recently that had a bit in about John Mooney, and when I looked at his page on Wikipedia I noticed that you had made a lot of edits to the page, so as someone who has an interest in him, I thought I;d ask your advice before updating his page. Basically, given his statements on his past troubles with mental health, I was wondering whether it was worth mentioning. My perspective is that I think that to have been so open is a very courageous thing, and I think he deserves credit for doing so, especially in the light of cricket's long-standing problems in that area. But I'm concerned that in mentioning it in some depth on his page, might seem like oblique criticism, which is the opposite of what I intend.

I'm happy to do the work, but I was just looking for someone else's perspective. Have you any thoughts?
