Viewing the history of the English Wikipedia's Main Page is not straightforward. Almost all of the text is transcluded from various templates, which are cascade protected; the main exception to this is the welcome banner and portal list at the top of the page. The Main Page sections that are regularly updated are "Today's featured article", "In the news", "Did you know", "On this day", "Today's featured list" and the picture of the day. In addition, the templates for other areas of Wikipedia, Wikipedia's sister projects, Wikipedia languages and Main Page interwikis may also be occasionally modified; the page also contains a Main Page banner template that is used very rarely to display special messages. There is normally little reason for administrators to edit the Main Page directly.

Revision history[edit source]

The Template:Plk only shows changes in how the Main Page includes several sections, not changes in the sections themselves. The history for each section is stored separately in their corresponding templates (see the edit histories of Template:Plk, Template:Plk, Template:Plk and Template:Plk). Histories for other sections (today's featured article, "On this day", today's featured list and the picture of the day), on the other hand, are generally stored in separate templates for each date.

The 34 oldest edits of Template:Plk (dated 09:43, 22 November 2001 to 09:45, 20 December 2001) are part of a revision history that is continued, via one or more old cut-and-paste moves, by the current oldest edit of Main Page (dated 15:28, 26 January 2002). In the gap between these times, 37 days of edits may be irretrievably missing.

Snapshots of the Main Page[edit source]

Copies of the Main Page since 16 December 2010 can be seen at Wikipedia:Main Page history/2024 March 28, etc.; see also Template:Subpages. Some dates may have two snapshots (the second suffixed with "b"), mainly to handle times when "Did you know" was updated twice a day (although not all such occurrences are recorded here). A few snapshots are missing, indicated by red links below. Please note that the snapshots below may not represent the final or otherwise most accurate versions of the Main Page at the time, as sections are regularly updated in response to error reports, new events in the news, or for other miscellaneous reasons. <inputbox> bgcolor=transparent type=fulltext prefix=Wikipedia:Main Page history/ break=no width=40 searchbuttonlabel=Search the Main Page snapshots </inputbox>

Alternative versions of the Main Page[edit source]

Template:Further The following four pages can be used to view versions of the Main Page for the last and next two days, but with a few caveats:

  • Content for future pages is naturally subject to change before and during its appearance on the Main Page.
  • "In the news" is displayed as it appears on the current Main Page, as content is not specific to each day and Wikipedia cannot predict the future.
  • For yesterday's page, "Did you know" is displayed as it appears on the current Main Page, while upcoming queues are displayed in versions for future pages. Note that this is likely to be inaccurate if multiple sets are run in a day.
  • Pictures of the day are transcluded from their "protected versions". As this is only created 26 hours before the scheduled appearance, the day-after-tomorrow's page only displays the correct featured picture for two hours of the day; the previous day's (tomorrow's) is displayed at other times.
  1. Wikipedia:Main Page/Day before yesterday (featured article, "Did you know", "On this day", featured list and picture of the day)
  2. Wikipedia:Main Page/Yesterday (featured article, "On this day", featured list and picture of the day)
  3. Wikipedia:Main Page/Tomorrow (featured article, "Did you know", "On this day", featured list and picture of the day)
  4. Wikipedia:Main Page/Day after tomorrow (featured article, "Did you know", "On this day", featured list and picture of the day)

In addition, a week's worth of upcoming sections (except for "Did you know") can be found at Wikipedia:Main Page queue, with the same proviso that all content there is subject to change.

Appearance[edit source]

The Main Page on 30 March 2001 ...
... and on Wikipedia's 10th anniversary on 15 January 2011

To see the Main Page as it in 2001, see Nostalgia Wikipedia. A community effort that began in December 2004 to redesign the Main Page and key pages linked from it, was implemented in March 2006 after several months of discussion and input from the community organized by the Usability WikiProject. No significant redesign proposal has been successful since then, although minor changes have been made.

The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has extensively saved the Main Page, normally with numerous snapshots for each day. The earliest capture of HomePage Template:Plk, while the Main Page at its current URL has been Template:Plk. See also Template:Plk from the Version Museum on the design evolution on Wikipedia.
