It is already on the Main Page. Click on "Historical anniversaries" in the 
Selected Articels box.

Actually this is the syntax:

[[{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}]]

This is what the wiki code looks like for the current link:
'''[[{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}|Historical anniversaries]]''':
