Hi,
As have been brought up by Risker earlier in this conversation, Common's
MOTD on that day was transcluded to the mainpages of projects that do not use one of the five languages in which context for the video was provided.
1/ Which projects? A GlobalUsage on the current MOTD (as well as the one from yesterday and the one from tomorrow) seems to indicate that no Wikimedia projects transclude the MOTD.
2/ Assuming they exist, do these projects *also* use the actual thumbtime hardcoded for its display as MOTD on Wikimedia Commons?
