Used by COM:MOTD. See Category:Motd thumbtime templates

To find a good time (with a good thumbnail) you can skip through the video and pause it once you found a frame well suited for a thumbnail or use User:Saibo/thumbtimefinder.

To change a MOTD thumbnail, go to the Media of the Day items page, next to the video for which you'd like to change the thumbnail click "Expand" next to "Advanced options", open the redlink (" Template:Motd/…"), then enter the thumbtime in h:mm:ss.t format (e.g. 0:00:22.0), then click save. If you reload the MOTD page, the thumbnail should be changed.

Parameter list:

  • 1 – filename part (without the file: prefix). - its displaying or usage is actually disabled in {{Motd thumbtime helper}}, it is displayed by default if Motd/XXXX-YY-ZZ thumbtime page is not existing.
  • 2 – numerical year of the date.
  • 3 – numerical month of the date.
  • 4 – numerical day of the date.

the call of this template will call {{Motd thumbtime helper}} with all the parameters if this template is called on the subpage Motd/XXXX-YY-ZZ thumbtime page, otherwise it will display the filename.
