thread_title:  Background color for the template 

message: Is there any particular reason why this template is normally substituted? It might make the uses easier to read and maintain if it was transcluded instead. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:38, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As stated on WP:POTD/G#Protected version there are two versions: a protected version is the one that is actually be transcluded onto the Main Page, and a non-protected version for non-admins to make updates to the POTD caption. If this template is NOT substituted, all the meta-templates used to generate the POTD template (including the ones that generate the "Recently featured" links) will automatically be cascade-protected, and non-admins would not be able to create/edit new POTDs as stated on WP:POTD/G.

thread_title:  Substitution 

message: When this template is substituted, it emits a lot of unneeded code, especially in the 'Recently featured' line, which seems to include entire pages, but only shows the title. Is there a way to only pull the actualy title during substitution? In the end, I want to attempt to make a version that does not require tables. -- User:Edokter  12:04, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: . I see you're more comfortable here. I would really like to prevent the entire blurbs being substituted into the protected version's 'Recently featured' line; basically trying to incorporate  int . Is that possible? -- User:Edokter  08:41, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Edokter, we have a couple options.  (1) would be to not expand the  inside the links (2) more fully expand these templates.  the first option is simple, we just remove the safesubst: from those.  the second option is implemented in Template:POTD row/sandbox, which uses a simple module hack that I just wrote.

replies: text: The second options seems to work (but adds aa sapce in the link). I like simple :) so let's try the first option. -- User:Edokter  13:31, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Edokter, fixed the extra space problem in the second solution, and implemented the first solution. Frietjes (talk) 14:03, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  That works, but the protected version now gets *, whereas option 2 does get *Omni Shoreham Hotel. Is it possible to make option 1 behave like option 2? -- User:Edokter  16:39, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Edokter, if you want the output from option 2, we should use option 2.  if you want the output from option 1, we should use option 1.  in other words, if you want option 2, just copy over the version in the sandbox.  it's the only way (that I know) to get two levels of substitution without adding 'safesubst:' to all of the individual  templates.

replies: text: I see. It will have to be option 2 then. Probably the whole setup should be turned into a module. At least I can try to eliminate the tables. Thank you! -- User:Edokter  16:46, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Substitution fix 

message: Please change the two instances of 0 0.9em 0.9em 0.9em in the HTML padding to 0 0.9em. This will avoid a thin line of undesirable space underneath wide-format POTDs and bring this template in line with . — RAVENPVFF · talk · 14:45, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Template-protected edit request on 19 May 2020 

message: Please add text-align:center; after both instances of padding:0 0.9em 0 0;. This will ensure that the POTD image is centralized when the Main Page is displayed with narrow widths (e.g. by viewing the page at a high browser zoom level). — RAVENPVFF · talk · 17:30, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
