Usage
[edit]This is the {{User:Acagastya/totdr}} template. This template displays the Tip of the Day box which is much similar to the {{totd-random}}.
This template is intended to be used at the top of the users' talk page.
Do not use the Wiki-code substitute for this template.
Who can use it?
[edit]This template can be used by any editor who wish to have a tip of the day box on their talk page.
Parameters
[edit]This template has five parameters:
Border Color
[edit]The parameter is used to change the border color of the box:|border-c=
Enter either the color name or the hexadecimal value for this parameter.
NOTE: Do not forget to use the symbol # before the hexadecimal value.
- The default border color in this template is BLACK.
- I am not sure but this feature might not be available in
{{totd-random}}.
Width of the box
[edit]This parameter is used to change the width of the box.|width=
You may choose the size either by the pixels example: |width=80px or the percentage (%) value example: |width=80%.
- Default is set at 100px.
- I am not sure but this feature might not be available in
{{totd-random}}.
Border Radius
[edit]This parameter is used to obtain the curved edges of the of the box.|border-radius=
You may choose the size either by the pixels example: |border-radius=20px or the percentage (%) value example: |border-radius=10%.
- Default is set at 0px.
- I am not sure but this feature might not be available in
{{totd-random}}.
NOTE: If you are assigning the value to this parameter using percentage (%); You would probably hate the look. It is depicted in the examples.
Image to purge
[edit]This parameter is used to change the image used to purge the tip.|img=
Enter the name of the image you think would be appropriate.
NOTE: You need to mention the image as example: |img=:Example
- The image which we all don't like in our notifications (i.e.
) is the default image. - I am not sure but this feature might not be available in
{{totd-random}}.
_Revert.png){kind=small}
Image size
[edit]This parameter is used to change the size of the image used to purge the tip.|img-size=
Enter the size in pixel or percentage to match accordingly.
- Default value of this parameter is 30px.
- I am not sure but this feature might not be available in
{{totd-random}}.
Function
[edit]The function of this template is to display The tip of the Moment.
Difference between this and the original template
[edit]- I am pretty sure that in the original template, you won't be able to customise it.
- The space consuming bulbs' filament is broken!
will not appear in this template. That is one of the reasons which lead to creation of this template. - To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd-random}}....Say goodbye to this space occupying thing.
- But not this: Become a Wikipedia tipster. I can't remove it. There will be a huge loss to those who want to learn new tips.
Examples
[edit]Because the Tip of the Moment changes every time when purged and as the tip aren't of the uniform size: I will club the parameters together.
Using all the parameters with size quoted in pixels
[edit]|border-c=#9dd04f|width=750px (chosen as per my screen resolution)|border-radius=25px|img=File:Gnome-media-playlist-shuffle.svg|img-size=25px
Code {{User:Acagastya/totdr|border-c#9dd04f|width=750px|border-radius=25px|img=Gnome-media-playlist-shuffle.svg|img-size=25px}}
Output:

Using all the parameters with size quoted in percentage (%)
[edit]CAUTION: the weird look at the edges is because of |box-radius='s value is set in percentage (%)
|border-c=#9f0fe90|width=75%px (chosen as per my screen resolution)|border-radius=10%|img=File:Gnome-media-playlist-shuffle.svg|img-size=25%
Code {{User:Acagastya/totdr|border-c#f0fe90|width=75%px|border-radius=10%|img=Gnome-media-playlist-shuffle.svg|img-size=25%}}
Output:
| Tip of the moment... Linking to a section of an article
Sometimes it is preferable to refer to a section of a page when linking, rather than to the whole page. You can create a link to any subheading on any page in Wikipedia by including a For example: Wikipedia:Community portal#Help out. In all section links, be sure to use a piped link for readability. Using a piped link, the previous example looks like this: Help out. If a section title changes, rather than going red/inactive, the link will lead to the top of the linked page. – – |

NOTE: It is advisable to set width of the box in percentage (%) and border radius in pixels
