Wikipedia:Tip of the day/May 30, 2006
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Being the gateway to the encyclopedia - The Main Page is our most frequently visited page. The main page is always protected and can only be edited by admins, but most of the content is piped in each day from various departments, via templates. Anybody can edit the pages that feed into the templates (up until the day they are displayed on the Main Page), and we encourage you to help.
- The current events items and the "Did you know..." section about new articles need regular updates to keep them fresh.
- The Featured article and Selected anniversaries get rotated every day.
- The Picture of the day presents Featured Pictures in the order they were promoted to featured status, but this project needs volunteers to help with the chore of stocking the picture page queue.
Just remember to follow the guidelines, as the procedure for each template works differently.
