message: : I feel it would be sensible to select a motto from the archive if no new mottos were forthcoming. How do you feel about this? --Mrjulesd (talk) 13:30, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Mrjulesd, I'm sorry for the delay with this, but I wasn't notified about it. I think that about all the template used to show the motto of the day have this option, but I took the liberty of adding that phrase to empty mottos in the hope that new and old users will be attracted to MOTD. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 08:57, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: pjoef yes ping doesn't always worik for me either for some reason. Anyway I wrote this before seeing maybe the best thing was for me to help out a bit really, which I was pleased to do. You'd already done most of the work. And it is a good thing to encourage people to get involved. All the best --Mrjulesd (talk) 09:18, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: This motto is empty!

message: As far as I can see,  just displays a random motto. Just like it did in the opening comment of this section. There's no daily element to the randomness. If this is supposed to be like that, can we archive this project completely, because all that happens now is , which doesn't need an explanation page (beyond its doc) and certainly doesn't need a pseudo-WikiProject. – WT79 (speak to me | editing patterns | what I been doing) 13:16, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: * As explained below, the mottoes have been automated, as discussed above.  I'm still fine with that as the current selection is ample and appropriate.  We do not require activity or busy work for its own sake so the project should be considered to be on standby – waiting until an hour of need, like a sleeping hero such as Holger Danske.  It may be that some mottoes will need maintenance as our features, links and language evolve.  The project provides a convenient place for people to raise such issues.  If there are few such problems then this is a good thing and we should leave well alone. Andrew🐉(talk) 13:44, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: No, what I was meaning is that there is no daily nature to , which just acts as a wrapper displaying . It was like that at the start of this section. If we're fine with that, that's ok but we shouldn't try and make things look like they are daily when they are just random. If we archive all the WP:MOTD subpages this would probably be suffice; it doesn't stop people raising issues on talk pages. – WT79 (speak to me | editing patterns | what I been doing) 14:54, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

message: A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

message: The first wikilink relies on WP:T2T, which was a redirect to WP:Time to think, which, in turn, was deleted. After that, WP:T2T got hit by G8, and it's gone too. How can we fix this? Thanks for your time. Opal|zukor(discuss) 07:48, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not clear which motto is meant but it seems to have been fixed as there is no such link to WP:Time to think now. Andrew🐉(talk) 13:47, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Conflict with templates 

message: I just nominated a motto, however digging further I see that the process has stalled and mottos are random. If you are not accepting new mottos, can I ask that an inactive banner be placed on Nominations/In review and the duplicate Nominations? There's no point wasting anyone else's time, and "on standby" is clearly a euphemism for inactive. The amount of unaddressed nominations is building up. (Roundish ⋆t) 00:03, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: On top of this, the code pulling the random motto is the code from Template:Random motto - and because of that, the template Template:Random Motto, which is different, now just shows the same text twice. It is a sad state of affairs one🍪cookie 19:45, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Huh? Why? Someone should delete that. Well, I've since slapped "inactive" on most pages, since it took 8 months for a reply. (Roundish ✡t) 21:18, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
