...[[Template:Potd/Month]] is the problem. Does it pass the limit for a single day POTD? what about a week's worth? Maybe we just won't be able to display 31 POTDs & all their captions at a time.
If I'm reading it right, all the #ifexist there is to show the POTD regardless of whether someone has called it 2007-12-01 or 2007-12-1. If that's the case, I don't see the problem in eliminating all of those #ifexist cases and just taking care to name the day pages properly.
It's the same page existence being checked many times. With two simple changes http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_day passed from using 92 #ifexist to 43.
