This template is transcluded onto the main page to display a random image from a list.

Usage

To add a screenshot/caption:

Please note that if you do not have the appropriate user rights, you will not be able to add a screenshot. If you'd like a screenshot to be featured on the main page, please upload the file and post a link to it on an administrator's talk page.

Upload the file if it isn't on the wiki already.
Edit this page.
Change the following...

{{#switch:{{#ifexpr:{{{test|0}}}=1|{{{1}}}|{{rand|#}}}}

...to be this:

{{#switch:{{#ifexpr:{{{test|0}}}=1|{{{1}}}|{{rand|#+1}}}}

Copy and paste the following between the last line of the page and the one before it:

|#=[[File:FILENAME.xyz|center|800px|500px|CAPTION]]''CAPTION''

Test your changes by inserting {{Main Page Screenshot|#|test=1}} onto a page and replacing # with the screenshots ID number. Preview changes, then you should see your screenshot/caption.

Please do not use equals signs or vertical bars in your captions.
