Displaying tips on your userpage

If you would like to display the tip of the day on your userpage, here's how:

Edit your userpage and insert one or more of the following strings:

{{totd-tomorrow}} - this shows tomorrow's tip, and is used for proofreading tips before they go live. If you would like to help monitor tips for accuracy before the rest of the Wikipedia community reads them, please put this on your user page or talk page. Thank you.
{{totd-random}} - this is the tip of the moment template, which automatically displays a different tip every time you enter a page it is on (to a maximum of one time per minute). If it doesn't update, try clearing your browser cache.
{{totd}} - the main version of the tip of the day template, with border, centered in the middle of the page. Complete with inspirational lightbulb.
{{totd b}} - a more compact version of the above template. Useful for columns.
{{Tip of the day}} - the borderless version, with lightbulb.
{{Tip of the day - community portal}} - the underlined-heading version used on the community portal. (No lightbulb).
{{totd2}} - the borderless version used on Wikipedia's Help page (which already has its own borders). (No lightbulb).
{{totd3}} - a purple box version, useful for displaying the tip in columns.
{{totd CP}} - like the help page version, but with a box. Spans the whole field (screen or column) that it is in.
