I want a way to display the Wikimedia Commons POTD (Picture Of The Day) on my local wiki. I already have '[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/InstantCommons Instant Commons]' setup, but that only allows me to easily re-use the images locally, not display the POTD.
The <code><nowiki>{{Potd}}</nowiki></code> template <ref>https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Potd&action=edit</ref> would be a simple solution, but not on this wiki.
<nowiki>{{Potd|width=300|float=right|lang=en}}</nowiki> would (on Commons) display the Picture of the Day.
