Voting not open?[edit]

On the POTY 2023 page it says: "Round 1 begins on 1 February 2024, 00:00 and ends on 14 February 2024, 23:59:59 [UTC]". Well, I haven't been able to vote and still can't. My account is eligible. --Minilammas (talk) 16:01, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Minilammas: That was a placeholder. In theory the 2023 page shouldn't be linked from anywhere yet. :) @Legoktm: it may be a good idea to replace it with "soon" or something regardless. — Rhododendrites talk |  20:03, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So when will it take place, if all goes according to plan? Nardog (talk) 06:43, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for being MIA. I'll try to have an update by the weekend. Legoktm (talk) 07:07, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Call for comitee members[edit]

Dear Comitee members (@Legoktm, AntiCompositeNumber, and ZI Jony: ), please let us know if you are able to work on the contest. If not, it is time to look for new committee members to keep the contest going. Obviously the community would not be happy to see this project cease to exist. Jklamo (talk) 19:28, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jklamo: , we are working on it, will start at earliest. (@Legoktm, AntiCompositeNumber, and Rhododendrites: ). Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 13:37, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nice to hear that! The community is already looking forward to the launch of the contest in the coming weeks. Jklamo (talk) 13:55, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit suggestion for POTY finalists template This file was awarded first place in Picture of the Year This file was awarded second place in Picture of the Year This file was awarded third place in Picture of the Year This file was a finalist in Picture of the Year[edit]

Hi! Since it's already the case for Featured pictures, Valued images, Quality Images, Wiki Loves Earth winners and Wiki Loves Monuments winners, could we also add a top icon for Picture of the Year winners and finalists ?

There is two ways to do it.

One would be to copy paste the following code on each individual file page :

For 1st place files: This file was awarded first place in Picture of the Year
{{Top icon|imagename=POTY barnstar.svg|wikilink=Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2021/Results/All|description=This file was awarded first place in Picture of the Year 2021|imagesize=64px|sortkey=001}}

For 2nd place files: This file was awarded second place in Picture of the Year
{{Top icon|imagename=PODY 2nd barnstar.svg|wikilink=Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2021/Results/All|description=This file was awarded second place in Picture of the Year 2021|imagesize=64px|sortkey=002}}

For 3rd place files: This file was awarded third place in Picture of the Year
{{Top icon|imagename=PODY 3rd barnstar.svg|wikilink=Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2021/Results/All|description=This file was awarded third place in Picture of the Year 2021|imagesize=64px|sortkey=003}}

For finalist files: This file was a finalist in Picture of the Year
{{Top icon|imagename=PODY ribbon.svg|wikilink=Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2021/Results/All|description=This file was a finalist in Picture of the Year 2021|imagesize=64px|sortkey=004}}

I have tested it and it works perfectly.

Another way is to edit this template and to edit the top code of the page to something that looks like this. For the template code I’m not 100% sure because I have no admin access to the page so I can’t test it. I'm also not sure if {{{POTYyear}}} is the right way to display the year it won.

I hope this can get implemented and I wish you all a nice day.

I'm not sure if this was the right page to post this suggestion and I just found out that it should maybe have been posted on this page instead so I just posted it there now. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 17:25, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I like this idea, Giles Laurent, but I'd actually post it to COM:VP instead. Neither this page nor the template talk page have many pagewatchers. — Rhododendrites talk |  18:42, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the suggestion! Just posted it there -- Giles Laurent (talk) 19:26, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
