This template selects and displays an item from a pool of quotes based on the day of the year.

Hello! Here's how to add quotes to this template:

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and look for:
- 
Read this, and put quotes above that using this formatting:
- | (number) = Quote
- Remember to keep the indent!
- Do not repeat numbers!
Scroll up to the top and find:
- {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod QUOTESNUMBER}}
Then change "QUOTESNUMBER" to the highest current quote
- Your quote will not be displayed if you do not do this

What not to add:

Quotes from people besides Daniel
Fake quotes
- While you don't have to cite sources, it is very much recommended
Quotes that say slurs at all, even if censored, this is explicitly against the wiki guidelines
Remember this is being displayed on the front page when adding quotes

 <!-- This works by recycling the same quotes monthly, DO NOT MODIFY ANYTHING besides the quotes! Remember all quotes have to be by Daniel Larson.
-	THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT- SET THE NUMBER AFTER "MOD" TO THE CURRENT NUMBER OF QUOTES! THIS IS NEEDED FOR IT TO WORK PROPERLY.
