Viewing the history of the Wikipedia Main Page is not straightforward. Almost all of the text seen on the Main Page is from transcluded templates, which are also protected. The sections that are regularly updated are: Today's featured article, Selected anniversaries, In the news, Did you know, Picture of the day, Wikipedia in other languages and Interwikis. The Main Page also contains one automatically updating number, {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} (currently 1٬231٬813). There is normally little reason for administrators to edit the Main Page directly.

Edit history

The Main Page history only shows changes in how the Main Page includes several sections, not changes in the sections themselves. History for each section is stored separately. Here are "In the news" history, "Did you know" history, other language history, and interwiki history. Histories for the other sections are further confused by being stored separately for each date.

Replicas of the Main Page

Copies of the Main Page since 1 January 2011 (including the 10th anniversary on 15 January 2011) can be seen at ويكيبيديا:Main Page history/2011 January 1 etc. See

. A few dates are missing, indicated by a red link below.

Appearance

To see the appearance of the Main Page in 2001, see Nostalgia Wikipedia. A community effort in December 2004 to redesign the Main Page and key pages linked from it may be found here. The current design was implemented in March 2006 after several months of discussion and input from the community organized by the Usability WikiProject.

The Wayback Machine has over 13000 snapshots of the Main Page. See the page in March 2001, and dating back to December 2003.
