Talk:Main Page/Tomorrow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Main Page has five dynamic sections that update daily. Did you know and In the news do not run on daily schedules but are updated in real time. However, the other three do. Using {{Day+1}}, these three sections are shown here as they will appear on tomorrow's Main Page. This allows editors to make sure everything is running smoothly. This page updates automatically. In case there is a problem, anyone can view (and administrators can edit) tomorrow's:

Contents

[edit] New Year's fix

{{editprotected}}

In lieu of {{CURRENTYEAR}}:

{{#ifeq: {{Day+1}} | January 1 | {{#expr: {{CURRENTYEAR}} + 1}} | {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

Done; thanks for telling me about that.--HereToHelp 22:18, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Introduction errors

The introduction to this page contains 2 errors. "5 dynamic section" should be "5 dynamic sections" and "on tomorrow" should be "tomorrow".

Done. Kusma (討論) 10:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Additional grammar mistake in introduction - "In case their is a problem" should read "In case there..."

Done. I hope "your" happy.--HereToHelp 22:43, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Will wikipedia be up tomorrow?

I think it would be cool if after wikipedia goes down for a bit the main page made some mention of why. Mathiastck 20:14, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

It's just server issues. But yes, we anticipate the site to be working tomorrow.--HereToHelp 20:32, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia is notable enough that it going down is notable. A lot of wiki users like to know what, and whatnot. Mathiastck 00:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
IMO, there really should be a small banner just saying sory for the inconvenience and a short explaination of what the problem was, as well as an assurance of when the problem will be more permenantly resolved.--82.26.87.64 17:28, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Well, I don't have any knowledge that you can't find in the Wikipedia article and the Wikipedia Signpost technology report.--HereToHelp 23:00, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit links

Since this is for admin use it might be worthwhile having edit links for each section. violet/riga (t) 22:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

That throws off the formatting and is self defeating, but I'll add the links as text.--HereToHelp 23:01, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
