This is a documentation subpage for Template:Portal POTD. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Template for displaying POTD on subpages of portals. If you are creating a new portal, consider using Template:Portal pictures instead.

This template greatly simplifies the process compared to the common pattern of using a layout template for selected/featured pictures on a portal. Usual pattern requires a lot of fields to be filled in, including a caption. A picture of the day already has all needed information. The only input needed is the date.

Variants

• {{ Portal POTD/Featured picture}} – uses "Featured picture" subpage.

Usage

{{
Portal POTD|YYYY-MM-DD}}

To override the footer, use parameter |more=:

{{
Portal POTD|YYYY-MM-DD|more=footer}}

To find appropriate pictures, use search box below, from {{ POTD subpage search box}}:

Parameters

|1=

Date of the picture of the day in YYYY-MM-DD format. This should be the subpage name of Template:POTD.

|more=

Wikitext for the footer. For example, |more=[[Portal:Sports/Selected picture|More selected pictures...]]. Optional. Defaults to [[Portal:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}/Selected picture|More selected pictures]].

|more=no

Special value of parameter |more= to not show the footer.
