Tip of the Day
Tip of the moment...
 My category link disappeared!
Category links work in a special way; they determine which categories an article shall belong to. The categories are displayed at the very bottom of the page, no matter where the link is inserted on the page. Sometimes you may want to create a link to a category page without putting the current page in that category. This may arise on discussion pages or draft articles. To create such a link, place a colon (:) at the beginning of the link, like this: ], which shows up like this: Category:Physical exercise. So if your link does not appear where you expected, it just means that you forgot the leading colon. The same trick applies to links to Knowledge (XXG) in other languages. To create a visible link to the Indonesian Knowledge (XXG) article "Teknologi," use the id prefix for Indonesian, with a colon before it to keep it visible: To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use {{totd-random}}

Knowledge (XXG) toolbar for Firefox
The Knowledge (XXG) extension makes editing of Knowledge (XXG) pages in Mozilla or Firefox easier by adding a new toolbar to your browser and by providing new menu items in the context menu. Read more: To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd3}}
|
The Tip of the Day project provides a different piece of advice for using Knowledge (XXG) 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 randomized 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 {{Knowledge (XXG):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. To float the tip of the day to the right of content (as it is displayed here), place this code where you want the tip to show up: {{right|{{totd3}}}}.
Style tips
A spin off of the tip of the day, this is another template that provides useful instruction a little at a time.

All of us are put in boxes by our family, by our religion, by our society, our moment in history, even our own bodies. Some people have the courage to break free.

Pics and images
There is a huge selection of pictures on Knowledge (XXG) and its sister site Wikimedia Commons. Pictures can be a powerful way to express yourself...
Pictures can be found all over Knowledge (XXG), but it can be very time-consuming to hunt for them in the encyclopedia's articles. Another option is to browse Knowledge (XXG)'s collections...
Image categories
Some images can be found in the categorical index, at:
But most of the images used on Knowledge (XXG) are kept at:
- Wikimedia Commons (plus a whole lot more)
Featured pictures
Featured pictures can also be found in the picture of the day archive:

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

Holothuria fuscogilva, also known as the white teatfish, is a species of sea cucumber in the family Holothuriidae. It is found in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific in shallow waters near islands and around coral reefs. Juveniles live in shallower waters (such as inter-tidal zones) and then migrate to deeper waters as they mature. Adults of this species weigh between 2.4 and 4 kilograms (5.3 and 8.8 pounds) and are elliptical in shape with a firm texture. They feature lateral papillae (teats), which are often buried in the sand. The species is consumed as food and is vulnerable to over-exploitation from commercial fishing. This H. fuscogilva sea cucumber was photographed in Ras Muhammad National Park off the Red Sea coast of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt.

If you'd rather have it without the text (to make it smaller), you can use {{Knowledge (XXG):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.

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