Picture of the day

Al-Hajj is the 22nd chapter (surah) of the Quran, describing the pilgrimage to Mecca known as the Hajj. This Chinese scroll in ink, watercolour and gold on paper was produced in the second half of the 19th century, contains the full text of the chapter in Arabic, and is now part of the Khalili Collection of Hajj and the Arts of Pilgrimage. Almost five metres (16 feet) in length, the scroll's illustrations include a map entitled "Routes of the Hajj", a view of the Great Wall of China, and views of Mecca and Medina, as well as diagrammatic depictions of the stations of pilgrimage and Jerusalem, including the Kaaba. The illustrations are captioned in Chinese.Calligraphy credit: 'Abdallah; photographed by the Khalili Collections

Overview

Exteray, a Wikipedian, was born in 1990.

Wikimania

A currently avid user of Wikipedia, Exteray first saw this amazing project several years ago. He was instantly drawn to it .

He spends as much time on Wikipedia now that it has led to parental objection. (His parents are very strict). But in his young mind Wikipedia is his life.

His Userboxes

Exteray has an uncanny fascination with userboxes. He allegedly spent the entire night creating semi-random userboxes for himself when he first knew about its existence. To date, there are over 356 of them. Due to this overwhelming number of userboxes, they are displayed on a separate page here.

• 653 (disambiguation): a rather insignificant contribution, as 653 is one of the supposedly infinte numbers included in Wikipedia, many of which lack a disambiguation page. The future of the page is uncertain, but it is likely to be deleted. In creating that page, Exteray primarily wanted to practice his editting skills in Disambiguation pages, although he could have used a sandbox instead.

Tip Of the Day

Tip of the moment... How to transclude a page into the page you are editing Including the contents of one page ("the template") into a host page is called transclusion. This allows the host page to automatically be updated whenever the template page is updated. It is accomplished on Wikipedia by surrounding the name of the page from which the contents are being transcluded with two pairs of curly brackets and leaving out the "Template:" prefix. In addition, pages in the following namespaces can also be transcluded: Category:, Help:, Portal:, User:, and Wikipedia:. The only difference is that you must include the prefix (followed by a colon) with the page's name inside the double curly brackets. Images can also be transcluded, but this is done using double square brackets instead of curly ones. Here are some examples of templates that will transclude if you paste them, save them, and then refresh or the page: {{Pic of the day}} · {{Tip of the day}} · {{Help:Contents}} · [[File:Wikipedia-logo.png]] Prior tip – Tips library – Next tip Read more: Wikipedia:Transclusion   Wikipedia:Templates   Become a Wikipedia tipster To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use {{totd-random}}
