Contents
Background
[edit]For some time, POTD (Picture of the day) on Commons has been copied to the main pages of several wmf projects, in an duplicated effort. It would be better to copy this information to wikidata, at least while wikimedia commons is not an repo itself.
Daily update
[edit]Add the current Picture of the day to Q14334596 (Template:POTD) using property P18 (Image) and update it every day. Example for today: P18 - Lasiodora parahybana 2015 G1.jpg.

- Support, good idea in principle. Also translations could be done here if they are autmatically read on the projects.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:32, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Monthly update
[edit]Add multiple pictures of the day for the whole month to Q14334596, marking each day using P585 (point in time) and using P18 as an subproperty, containing the name of the image itself. Example for today: P585 - 30. June. subproperty: p18 - Lasiodora parahybana 2015 G1.jpg.

[edit]- I assume you mean to use P18 as qualifier on P585? I don't believe that's the normal approach, I would expect the other way around - P18 as the property, with qualifier P585. If the day qualifier is inserted from the start this would allow it all to be done as a single process - just insert the picture of the day for today, with the point in time qualifier saying it's for today. Maybe there are technical reasons not to do this, but that seems like the logical approach to me. ArthurPSmith (talk) 15:16, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps it should be done by bot? Also, this item would quickly become a vandalism target and would need to be semiprotected. --Rschen7754 04:53, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd do this on a separate item. Items for templates are meant to be fairly static.

- We could do it on Wikipedia:Picture of the day (Q6998859). Louperivois (talk) 05:01, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Any one will implement this? MechQuester (talk) 03:13, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm wondering how we can handle the media legend (P2096) to the satisfaction of the different communities. This element is to be shown on the homepages. If links are not taken in charge, it is not going to be accepted handily. Louperivois (talk) 05:01, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Maybe Commons could store it in the (new) data namespace and Wikipedia could read it from there. In that case, no changes at Wikidata would be needed.
