I was under the impression that you advocated having the protected version the same as the archived copy of POTD images. However, today you created the protected version and immediately set about altering it by introducing italics for the unit of currency. The italics were fine, but not your perhaps inadvertent introduction of a link to the currently displayed denomination, a fault that I had carefully excluded from the unprotected versions. So the protected versions and the regular versions are now not the same, and the protected version is in some respects less satisfactory than the regular ones.

Ravenpuff, i had a question about the titles used for tfa blurb images. i have noticed that, when a caption has some kind of markup, you often provide a plain text alternative via the title parameter, as seen here. i have generally been following your example, as seen here, but have been fiddling with similar code today and noticed that, in general, at least with respect to the html that my browser is served, wiki markup appears to be automagically stripped from titles and alt text. this means that, for example, the html i am served when viewing this blurb is unchanged regardless of whether a plain text title argument is provided, because the title argument only strips out the wiki markup used for a wikilink. the same applies to this blurb, since the title argument only strips out the double single quotes, which is wiki markup used for italics. however, there is a difference in the html served with respect to this blurb, since the title argument strips out " ", which is not wiki markup.
does this behaviour vary? i have not tested this extensively, and if this practice does help out users with devices different from my own, i am happy to continue the practice. however, i admittedly have some reservations about doing so if these edits are purely cosmetic, though i do not mind if you continue the practice. dying (talk) 14:45, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
The alt text must be plain text (no HTML or wiki markup such as wikilinks) without line breaks.
alt
|title=
Ravenpuff, what are your thoughts on links to other wikis in blurbs? i noticed that you have previously replaced a link to wiktionary with an internal link, which seems appropriate if a suitable internal link can be found. the upcoming blurb for hms hood has a link to wiktionary's definition of "show the flag". i was considering replacing the link with one for Big Stick ideology, Gunboat diplomacy, Peace through strength, or Power projection. in particular, "Showing the flag" is defined in one of the subsections of the "Power projection" article, so perhaps a link to Power projection#Types or Power projection#Hard power would be appropriate. although i am currently unaware of any policy that prevents links to wiktionary in tfa blurbs, i believe there have been not much more than 20 such links in the history of tfa.
i also recently removed a link to fr wikipedia in the blurb for cyclone berguitta. unfortunately, i could not find an appropriate internal link to replace it, but since i do not believe any tfa blurbs have ever linked to fr wikipedia before, i am currently assuming that linking to other wikipedias in tfa blurbs is strongly discouraged. (also, the removed link was to a nonexistent page because the location was misspelt, but a page does exist at fr:Grand Coude.) however, if you feel that the link should have remained, i have no objections if you wish to restore it. dying (talk) 19:29, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
