message: Is it possible to use the picture of the day on user page? I just want the image though not the whole template. Plus, I want it to update everyday when there is a new picture of the day. Possible? • Thorpe • 17:27, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: More or less. Your two options are to add  to get the version with a caption as shown here, or add  for the condensed version. Both update automatically each day. In the past we have tried some experiments so that the POTD version can take a parameter to specify a prefered width for the picture - but we haven't really got that cracked. -- Solipsist 17:56, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  User page 

message: the box and heading should go on this template. Or there should at least also be a version without them, so they can be used in more different contexts. Such as some main pages. Maybe the best solution is to create
, just like for featured articles. Then this template and POTD can transclude that and add box and heading. It would allow me to add this item to my personal main page and to the simple main page. --MarSch 11:14, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

:Well we are coming towards the end of the 3rd quarter, and we need to use up our European quota for grave accents, otherwise we might not be allowed any next year.  ... oh wait no, its just the usual reason - some minor vandalism to the current Pic of the Day selection at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/September 5, 2005. I've reverted it now. -- Solipsist 12:05, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why? 

message: on the description of today's geisha picture, shouldn't it be "art forms" instead of "arts forms", or is this a British English usage that I'm not familiar with?--Alhutch 05:52, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I believe he was already Lord Foster by the time the Great Court was opened, not Sir Norman, although I may be wrong. Badgerpatrol 00:58, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm, tricky. According to our article on him, his peerage was in 1999. So yes he would have been Lord Foster by the time the reading room opened, although I guess it was Sir Foster for most of the restoration. In either case, it might be easier to avoid the reference altogether. Foster and Partners certainly designed the glass roof for the Great Court redevelopment, but I wouldn't be so sure that they were involved in any (minimal) changes to interior of the reading room illustrated. -- Solipsist 08:17, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there any reason for this page to exist?  I don't want to put it up for deletion in case there's something important about it I'm not getting but it looks like it's not being used any more and that it should be a redirect.  Jellypuzzle | Talk 11:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Whenever the image is very wide, the text is placed below the image and is center aligned. As described in the article on alignment, "Centered text is considered less readable for a body of text made up of multiple lines because the ragged starting edges make it difficult for the reader to track from one line to the next." I propose that it be changed to justified alignment. Kent Wang 13:18, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Change center alignment to justified 

message: Please amend the template text to:



 This should allow the template to accept any valid date formats to display the corresponding POTD and also provide for a documentation page. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 01:12, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
