Welcome!

The tip of the day (or TOTD) is a helpful tip on how to use or edit Wikipedia. It is displayed by template on prominent help and community pages (and many user pages), presenting a different tip each day. The template displays the tip page named for the current date. The year is left off of the page titles, so that the same collection of tips redisplays automatically year after year.

Our purpose here is to keep the tips relevant. This means keeping tip pages up-to-date, and replacing tips with new ones when they become obsolete. In addition to this, we are constantly on the lookout for better tips to improve the overall collection, replacing not-as-useful tips with more useful ones.

As you probably guessed, that means there are 366 tip pages that need to be maintained. We welcome your help in maintaining and adding tips.

Tip of the day... How to change your username Where to request changing your account name depends on the type of rename: Simple – For renames to usernames that are not already taken.

To suggest a new tip or report a problem with a tip, create a new section at the very bottom of this Talk page to let us know. Feel free to make corrections directly to tip pages, and please let us know at the bottom of this page when you do. Other ideas and comments are also welcome.

Welcome message

Here is a plain Welcome message for posting to new participant's talk page. To post the message copy and paste this:
{{totd plain welcome}} (including the four curly braces).

Remember to sign the message with your four tilde signature: ~~~~

* Welcome! Thank you for your recent edits for the Wikipedia Tip of the day and for joining the Tip of the day department.

Instructions

• New tips (or major rewrites) should be proposed via a New section at the very bottom of this Talk page. Ping other editors if possible. Wait for comments and consensus.
• Minor updates and copy-edits to existing tips can be done directly at that tip's RAW template found via the Tip of the day scheduling queue.
• The 366 slots (one for each day of the yearless calendar, including February 29 for leap year) are set up on Wikipedia:Tip of the day so whenever any new tip is added, or an obsolete tip is removed, one of the 366 days needs to be chosen. Put the new tip in a slot that is already duplicated in another slot (e.g.- the same tip is repeated for January 17 and July 17). Replace the duplicate slot that is coming up the soonest using the general workflow checklist below.

General workflow checklist to add a new tip to replace an existing tip

1. Directly place the updated (Done) tip into the Tip of the day scheduling queue at one of the 366 subpages by editing the tip.
2. Update the tip's description at:
   1. Wikipedia:Tip of the day#Chronological list of tips.
   2. WP:ALPHATIP – Alphabetical list of tips page.
   3. Wikipedia:Tips, the complete library of tips arranged by subject (pipe the description, link the date to the piped description per the other listings).
      1. If you add a tip you may need to remove a tip too. Check for duplicates.
3. Update Wikipedia talk:Tip of the day#Tip library maintenance below. You will also need to remove the added date from other months where it is duplicated- e.g.- if you add a tip in place of one in January and it is duplicated in July you will need to remove the January reference in the July maintenance listing.

How to prevent new tip archiving

Use Bump which is a wrapper for the invisible template {{do not archive until}} that is used to prevent bots archiving a discussion thread.

It produces a visible message that the thread has been bumped, and how long for (defaults to 30 days), if a value of days has been specified. It will auto-sign the notification.

{{subst:Bump}} produces:

Bumping thread. Example (talk) 09:45, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

{{subst:Bump|30}} produces:

Bumping thread for 30 days. Example (talk) 09:45, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Always use the subst prefix, and place under the section title.

Tip library maintenance

As of August 1, 2016, the count of tips (from the scheduling queue) contained within the Tip library:

• January – 31 tips –  Done
• February – 29 tips –  Done
• March – 29 tips
• April – 28 tips
• May – 30 tips
• June – 28 tips
• July – 31 tips –  Done
• August – 31 tips –  Done
• September – 30 tips –  Done
• October – 29 tips
• November – 30 tips –  Done
• December – 31 tips –  Done

From the above list, it appears that there are not 366 unique individual tips, which opens the door for new tips to be added to the schedule as well as removal of duplicate tips.

To keep the Tip library in step with the scheduling queue, additional editors may help by reviewing the Tip library and performing cleanup. When each month is completed, please add the {{Done}} template to that month's line in the list above.

Until we reach 366 tips, new tips can be placed into the TOTD Schedule Queue by replacing a duplicate entry from the monthly maintenance lists below.

Some tips outdated?

Hi there, MusikAnimal raised a concern that some tips were very outdated, in the talk page of a Signpost article (we republished a week of recent tips). Please see Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2022-03-27/Tips and tricks for more. Thanks! 🐶 EpicPupper ^{(he/him | talk)} 21:04, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Question for December 3 tip - Finding stubs and making them grow

At Wikipedia:Tip of the day/December 3 it says set the threshold for stub display in your user Preferences. I searched all of user Pref. and cannot find where to set stub threshold? JoeNMLC (talk) 10:44, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

That might be outdated then, as I feel the majority of January 9 is. It mentions iTunes and Windows Media Player, which both have multiple successors. Maybe in the Tip for December 3, that could be removed, and the current tip for January 9 could see mentions of older software replaced.  Xan ✨ talk 07:41, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
