How to add an article to a category

Wikipedia has index pages called Categories, in which links to articles are provided based on category tags included in each article.

To add an article to a particular category, add [[Category:Category name]] to the article's text (preferably at the bottom). The assigned category should now show up at the bottom of the article, and a link to the page should show up on the indicated category page in Wikipedia's category system. If the category shows up as a blue link it is an active category; if the link shows up red then the category has yet to be created. Click on the red link to create the category page.

To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use {{totd-random}}

The Tip of the Day project provides a different piece of advice for using Wikipedia every day. Like the Picture of the Day, you can include it on your userpage by adding {{totd}} somewhere (at the top of your talk page is a good place for it). The radomized version (displayed above) is {{totd-random}}, and shows a different tip each time it is displayed on your screen. Other formats for the TOTD exist, such as the more compact {{totd3}}, or you can make your own by including {{Wikipedia:Tip of the day/{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} on your userpage (which includes the raw text, without any formatting) and then enclose it in your own formatting.

Mottos

There's a motto of the day project, called, you guessed it: Wikipedia:Motto of the day. To use it, just place {{Motd}} on your user page!

Here's what it looks like:

Today's motto...
→ Dumque punitur scelus, crescit
("Even as crime is punished, it increases")


Nominate one today!

Thoughtboxes

This positive thoughtbox was found on Lord Voldemort's userpage:

What happens when a Wikipedian dies? He or she just doesn't show up to edit anymore. Does anybody notice? Does anybody really even care? To all those Wikipedians who may have died and been forgotten here, Thank you for your contributions and Rest in Peace.

Pics and images

There is a huge selection of pictures on Wikipedia and its sister site Wikimedia Commons. Pictures can be a powerful way to express yourself...

Terrorists don't have the Bomb... Yet.
Mountains in New Hampshire.

Pictures can be found all over Wikipedia, but it can be very time-consuming to hunt for them in the encyclopedia's articles. Another option is to browse Wikipedia's collections...

Image categories

Some images can be found in the categorical index, at:

But most of the images used on Wikipedia are kept at:

Featured pictures can also be found in the picture of the day archive:

A monthly archive of Wikipedia's featured pictures

2004: May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December
2005: January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December
2006: January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December

2007: January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December

There is usually a long delay before a featured picture is scheduled into the picture of the day system, so two other places to look for featured pictures are:


Picture(s) of the day

The Picture of the Day is currently displayed every day on the Main Page, and you can use it to decorate your userpage as well...

Here's what the various picture of the day templates look like. To place them on your user page, include the corresponding double-curly bracket code, and the picture will be displayed automagically:

Smooth-billed ani
The smooth-billed ani (Crotophaga ani) is a bird in the cuckoo family. It is a resident breeding species from southern Florida, the Caribbean, parts of Central America, south to western Ecuador, Brazil, northern Argentina and southern Chile. The smooth-billed ani is a mid-sized species, larger on average than the groove-billed ani but smaller than the greater ani. It measures approximately 35 centimetres (14 inches) in overall length. Males weigh around 115 grams (4.1 ounces), while females are lighter at around 95 grams (3.4 ounces). Adults are mainly glossy black, with a long tail, deep ridged black bill and a brown iris. This smooth-billed ani was photographed in George Town, on the island of Grand Cayman in the Caribbean.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp

If you'd rather have it without the text (to make it smaller), you can use {{Wikipedia:POTD/{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}_{{CURRENTDAY}},_{{CURRENTYEAR}} instead.

Alternate picture of the day

To display the alternate picture of the day from the no-restrictions anybody-can-add-a-pic-right-now picture project, use {{rpotd}}, which displays this:



Unlike PotD, these pictures are not featured. You can use {{rpotd}} to add the daily random picture to your userpage.

Commons picture of the day

You can also display the Commons Picture of the Day, which is different from the featured picture displayed on the main page, with {{POTD commons}}. Which shows this:
