{{POTD/{{{1}}}|portal layout/sandbox}}
 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Portal POTD (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
Template for displaying POTD on subpages of portals. If you are creating a new portal, consider using Template:Portal pictures instead.
This template greatly simplifies the process compared to the common pattern of using a layout template for selected/featured pictures on a portal. Usual pattern requires a lot of fields to be filled in, including a caption. A picture of the day already has all needed information. The only input needed is the date.
