Displaying tips on your userpage

If you would like to display the tip of the day on your userpage, here's how:

Edit your userpage and insert one or more of the following strings:

{{totd-random}} - this is the tip of the moment template, which automatically displays a different tip every time you enter a page it is on (to a maximum of one time per minute). If it doesn't update, try clearing your browser cache.

{{totd}} - the main userspace version of the tip of the day template, with border, centered in the middle of the page. Complete with inspirational lightbulb.

{{totd b}} - a more compact version of the above template. Useful for columns.

{{totd-tomorrow}} - this shows tomorrow's tip, and is used by Wikipedia tipsters to make sure that the tips never run out. If they did run out, a red link would show up on Wikipedia's Community Portal and Help Page, which would be very embarrassing. This template shows the redlink one day in advance, as an early-warning system.

{{Tip of the day}} - the borderless version, with lightbulb.

{{Tip of the day - community portal}} - the underlined-heading version used on the community portal. (No lightbulb).

{{totd2}} - the borderless version used on Wikipedia's Help page (which already has its own borders). (No lightbulb).

{{totd3}} - a purple box version, useful for displaying the tip in columns.

{{totd CP}} - like the help page version, but with a box. Spans the whole field (screen or column) that it is in.
