Picture of the day

Heungseon Daewongun (1821–1898) was the title of Yi Ha-eung, the regent of Joseon during the minority of Emperor Gojong in the 1860s. Until his death, he was a key political figure of late-Joseon Korea. The Daewongun is remembered both for the wide-ranging reforms that he attempted during his regency, as well as for what was described by historian Hilary Conroy as "vigorous enforcement of the seclusion policy, persecution of Christians, and the killing or driving off of foreigners who landed on Korean soil". This silk painting of the Daewongun, now in the collection of the National Museum of Korea, was created by an unknown artist circa 1869. It is designated as a Treasure of Korea.Painting credit: unknown

Tip of the day... Displaying one page within another = Transclusion Including the contents of a template page on a different page (by surrounding the page name with double braces, i.e. "{{}}" and leaving out the "Template:" prefix) is called transclusion. This allows the other page to be automatically updated whenever the template page is updated. Besides templates, pages in the following namespaces can be transcluded: Category: Help: Portal: User: Wikipedia: The only difference between transcluding these and templates is that you must include the prefix (followed by a colon) with the page's name inside the double braces. Images also can be transcluded, but this is done using double square brackets instead of braces. Here are some examples of transclusion: {{Pic of the day}} · {{Help:Contents}} · [[Image:Wikipedia-logo.png]] Prior tip – Tips library – Next tip Read more: Wikipedia:Transclusion   Become a Wikipedia tipster To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{tip of the day}}
