→A new suggestion about the Saints of the Day
: This syntax won't work for the main page, because the main page's feasts are based on an automatic variable that "knows" what day it is and includes the proper template accordingly. If you know how to make the wiki calculate -13 from the date it "knows," then we're in business.
: The main page doesn't include [[April 19]], but rather [[Template:April 19]]. Editing [[April 19]] to include [[Template:April 6]] only adjusts [[April 19]] and would not show up on the main page. If, however, you were to edit [[Template:April 19]] to include [[Template:April 6]] (and do the same for all calendar days), the output would be a recursive, endless loop including the entire calendar and repeating infinitely. : Having the main page include [[April 19]], however, would mean having to create a whole series of nested templates, involving changing every single link to a date in the whole wiki (many thousands of links). [[April 19]] is not a template and cannot be included as one. : I think we need to find some sort of extension for the wiki so that it can "know" what day it was 13 days ago.—[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.
