Does anyone know how to randomize in the wiki parser language? Or else how to get the current date? I'd like to switch up the image on the right of the Main Page from time to time. It's very nice, but it's also very very cute, and Oni is not accurately summed up by Chibi Shinatama. We should at least put in a darker image from time to time, and vary the subject (Mukade, Konoko, Griffin, etc.). But I don't want to have to change the image manually. If we can set up a template that looks at, say, the day of the week, or picks a random number, we can have the image change itself from a pool of candidate images that we would set up. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 18:09, 1 August 2008 (CEST) | Does anyone know how to randomize in the wiki parser language?

:1) Let's have a look at the pool, first; 2) It's less procrastinatory to do it manually, really; 3) Actually, pretty much anything is less procrastinatory than this ^_^ --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 18:19, 1 August 2008 (CEST) | :1) Let's have a look at the pool, first; 2) It's less procrastinatory to do it manually, really; 3) Actually, pretty much anything is less procrastinatory than this ^_^ --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 18:19, 1 August 2008 (CEST) | ||
::1. I don't have a pool, I just had a thought and then posted it. But the pool would be mostly Guido stuff, certainly. Not fan art in general. No more than seven handpicked images, cream of the crop and all that. | |||
::2. Yes and no. Who feels like changing the page every week or whatever? I don't. Plus that generates unnecessary edits. I love automation, and getting technology to work for me, not the other way around. | |||
::3. We can afford to procrastinate this, it's hardly a big issue. Seriously, I just wanted to throw my thoughts out there, and see if anyone had an answer to my question(s) (I've done some research, but I haven't found anything). We'll get around to doing something when we get around to doing it. No rush (unlike the other umpteen things I am working on). --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 18:27, 1 August 2008 (CEST) | |||
