 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Portal POTD. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
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.
