Use file captions

{{File caption|mid=M{{PAGEID:File:{{Motd/{{#time:Y-m-d|today|en}}}}}}|lang={{{lang|en}}}}}

English: When concentrated sulfuric acid comes into contact with sucrose, slow carbonification of the sucrose takes place.

I put together the code to use Commons:File captions directly instead of writing a caption in a one-time template.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=1079295922 would be the new version of Template:Main Page Template/motd implementing this change.

So if users still create the caption template, that will be displayed. otherwise, the file captions on the file is fetched and displayed. RoyZuo (talk) 07:20, 31 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
