Edit your User page and insert one or more of the following bolded strings (including the four curly braces), preview your edit, and when it looks right, save it.
To see a visual display of the below templates check out the Tip of the Day Display template gallery.
{{totd}} – the main userspace version of the tip of the day template, with border, centered in the middle of the page. Complete with inspirational light bulb. Border color can be custom modified.
{{totd b}} – a more compact version of the above template. Useful for columns.
{{totd3}} – a purple box version, useful for displaying the tip in columns.
{{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. If it doesn't update, try clearing your browser cache.
{{totd-tomorrow}} – this shows tomorrow's tip, and is used by Wikipedia tipsters to make sure that the tips are up-to-date and corrected before they go live.
{{tip of the day}} – the borderless version, with light bulb.
{{totd2}} – the borderless version used on Wikipedia's Help page (which already has its own borders). (No light bulb).
{{totd CP}} – like the help page version, but with a box and light bulb. Spans the whole field (screen or column) that it is in.
{{totd-static}} – like the totd version but the date is static. You have to manually change the date. Good for testing purposes.
To have the current day's tip and tomorrow's tip show up at the bottom of your talk page, below the last message, paste this code anywhere on your talk page (preferably at the top):
To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}
Variations of English
Please read WP:ENGVAR. I see you changed an article about an American law to British English, but someone else has reverted you so that's ok now. Note that "ize" is used in American and British English. Doug Wellertalk16:27, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Most articles use either American or British English. It depends on a couple of things, mainly the content. If it's on a clearly American subject, it will be American English. Most articles to do with British Commonwealth subjects will use British English, some will use Indian English. Sometimes it depends on the original creator's use. Some articles will have a message on their talk page or a "hidden message" that you see when you edit. One point I will make is many editors don't realise that the spelling "ize" can is both British and American. Doug Wellertalk18:10, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
