On the afrikaanse wiki, the home page used a message
{{{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}_{{CURRENTDAY}}
_selektiewe_herdenkings}}

This atumatically linked to a current day article, without
users having to change the site.

The {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} and the
{{CURRENTDAY}} still work, but the message as a
whole no longer works - it gives :
Template:{{CURRENTMONTHNAME_ ...}}

This feature is now disabled and put in html comment on
the af: homepage, but they would like to have it
working again.

    I've put an incredible amout of work in setting up a way to
    automate display of selected anniversaries on the English
    Wikipedia's main page. If that wiki is "upgraded" so that my
    work is destroyed, then I will be very upset.

    PLEASE fix this bug!

    Mav, this bug is the main reason why the 1.3 upgrade isn't
    advancing currently. It's not easy to fix, but we're (mostly
    Tim) working on it.

    What the F*ck !!!!

    Why the hell was the English Wikipedia ""ugraded"" when this
    has not been fixed yet?? This really pisses me off.

    I also see that some links are showing up as red links even
    though they link to real articles. Right now [[Entertainment]] on
    the en.wikipedia's Main Page is a red link.

    I've fixed this a few days ago, seems to work just fine.
    Please reopen if there are still problems.
