Template:Transmat DW/doc

undefined is the driving engine behind the automatic replacement of the Quote of the Week section of the main page. It looks for a sub-template of this one labelled by the number of the current week, then transcludes that template on the main page. For instance if its Week 27, then this template looks for /27 and places it wherever undefined is placed — namely, the main page.

This template is fully locked, because it is merely the conduit through which the actual quote of the week text passes. To change the quote of the week, you must change one of the following sub templates. Today is 28 August, which is in Week. Week begins in  days, on the midnight (UTC) that divides Sunday from Monday. Note that for the period of time that the above pages are being populated, the default for each week is the contents of qotw/26. Also, the weeks are not being filled in sequentially, but thematically. Therefore, much of February-May, July-August and December-January was completed first.

If this revelation screws with your concept of time, don't sweat it. Only about 70 years out of every 400 have 53 weeks, and we've just had one. Basically they happen every 5 or 6 years. So, 53 week years within the likely life of this wiki are 2004, 2009, 2015, 2020, 2026, and 2032.
