this project as defunct. Then, I would redesign the tip of the day page to be more user friendly and work for quotes as well. I believe that with one project covering both these topics, we can combine the little interest left and bring these projects back. With no opposition, I will probably go a head with this in a week as long as the reamaining tip of the day people are cool with it. If you leave a message here, please ping me as I will not be monitoring the page. To ping me just copy and paste this somewhere in your comment:
517:. I think that we can, subject to individual evaluation of mottos, and aesthetic considerations, that we allow useful links to be made to appropriate article(s) if a candidate motto is improved by doing so. There ought to be a majority of links to wp-space, as has been current practice, but sometimes a motto could be "fleshed out" with a link to an article in addition to the links to wp-space. Any discussion of this idea is welcomed, if people have the time to think about it.

better to say 'create an edit under a new heading' instead of 'create an edit under a nested heading'. Or maybe 'create an edit under a new nested heading'. I am probably too pedantic here, but someone not familiar with the nomenclature might think into the wrong direction (like I did). In hindsight I understand now that the emphasis is not on the heading vs nested heading but between a big edit and a minor improvement.

In the way things are going here, it would not work even if it will be converted to the motto of the month. In the last year, the number of contributors to MotD can be counted on the fingers of one hand while, in the past, two or three hands were not enough. In any case, your proposal can be a good

Hi, I am new to MOTD, since reading some notices that mentioned the recent "Space for rent" problem. having thought about this though, I would like to suggest that we consider relaxing slightly the "rule" about not linking to mainspace (if it's a rule, wp:Iar can probably be applied, smiles). MOTD

This project has gone very far south and is pretty much inactive. I am noticing the Tip of the Day is also starting to go down this path. I believe that this project and the tip of the day can both be saved if we merge the two and basically put a quote at the bottom of the tip of the day and mark

Mostly my mistake: I did not notice the difference in size of the motto and the motto-edit. I tend to look more for an indent. To put more emphasis on the if-clause I would propose to switch the two sentences. And only as a second step maybe rephrase the nested part. Something like this: 'Simple

Thanks, now it is easy to see how to create a new heading. My problem is still more with the 'nested' part. For example one of the last entries was 'Will not a tiny speck very close to our vision ...' and the improvement was done with a new heading. Or did I miss something there? Would it not be
1018:
If you convert to a weekly format you can basically run it yourself, since it'll only require you select and come up with and list five items a month—very doable. Longer periods of time would also encourage more contributions because each individual motto becomes seven times as impactful.
929:
This seems to be struggling more and more as of late. I would suggest converting to a motto of the week format as that would greatly reduce the needed upkeep without forcing the unfortunate result of closing this entirely. You could also then schedule everything ahead of time,

The main reason why we should link to the policies, help pages, guidelines, essays, wikiprojects, and etcetera, and not to the main namespace, is to promote those parts of
Knowledge (XXG). But, I agree with Fartherred, it can be decided on a case by case basis.
448:
I think what Trevj meant was that the motto: "This space for rent" did not seem correct. People cannot offer the listed price and put their favorite motto in MOTD. What this motto meant is that MOTD was in desperate need of motto nominations and reviewers.

spelling mistakes or punctuation errors may be corrected without creating a new edit; just be sure to leave a comment explaining exactly what you have changed. If you have an idea that might improve a motto by rewording, changing the links, etc., nest a new

I was confused, because I was searching for the correct form to comment on an existing heading/motto. So I was looking for the wrong thing and mixed everything up. The heading part in itself is quite clear. I still support linking to the new

The mottos continue to appear on automatic pilot and seem to work well enough. Merger or other restructuring might break what we have so, if it works, don't fix it. Note that Tortle seems to have become inactive in 2015.
1119:
It would be better to purge inactive staff from the project and recruit volunteers that can spend more time on it. The automation removes tis charm. Also might be useful to put the project template on the front page.
