Template talk:Dailyimage

1. The proper magic word for what you're trying to do is LOCALDOW, not LOCALDAY
2. POTDs and other featured content are set up manually elsewhere; why not here?
3. If you're tired of Shinatama, why don't you set up a new picture with "TLC"?
4. I'll only roll it back once; you're free to do anything you want afterwards.

1. Thank you, I read the wiki help page too fast.
2. I don't know what that means. Ultimately, I would like the template to pick from a category that we manage that's dedicated to "Main Page candidates" so we can try out different sets of images or swap in a new one once in a while, without changing the template every time. That feature can come another day, though.
3. I tire of all pictures sooner or later. Trust me, you'll be glad I did this when the wiki presents you with new pictures each day.
4. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'll be glad when you actually finish something you've started. "Ultimately"? You and whose army? And the problem with the POTDs is that the Main Page (and other places), IMO, needs white-background pictures that somehow interact with the page's content, meaning that if you really cared about the image in context, you'd rearrange the body of text and maybe write a new haiku for the occasion, and and and. What you have now is a soulless channel switcher - just my impression of course. --geyser 20:51, 1 August 2008 (CEST)

Variety is better. 'Nuff said. And I actually was thinking of writing a unique haiku for each image. Probably only Shinatama should be saying the haiku that's there now. So, yeah, when I'm feeling poetic, I'll do that. And what's this nonsense about not finishing anyt
