About Me
I like geocaching since 2011 and I discovered geohashing 2013-09-25.
My home graticule is Mannheim, Germany (see today's point on the peeron map). Meetups in this graticule: meetups.
My Homepage: www.KlickTipps.de with a special geohashing page: www.KlickTipps.de/geohashing.php

Delete a photo
Use the word delete in double braces (je 2 geschweiften Klammern {{...}}).
You can edit photos; that's where the caption is stored. See for examples.
(learned at User_talk:Joannac#Delete_Photos_and_Pages)
Delete a page
You can mark pages with the word delete in double braces anywhere; first line of text is possibly easiest.
PHP
I like programming PHP. If you need a nice little PHP function to link from your own homepage to the geohashes of a certain day, here it is:
function geohashing_textlink( $my_date = -1 , $cl = "" ){
/* a text link to a special day
Parameters: $my_date (optional): 2 the day after tomorrow
1 tomorrow
0 today
-1 yesterday
-2 the day before yesterday
-3 and so on ...
$cl (optional): CSS Class for the link */
$complete_date
= mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d") + $my_date, date("Y"));
//check inputs
if ( $my_date > 3 ){ $my_date = 0; }
$cl = trim( $cl );
//build link
$text = date("j.n.Y" , $complete_date );
$outp = "<a href=\"http://wiki.xkcd.com/geohashing/";
$outp .= date("Y-n-j" , $complete_date ) . "\"";
$outp .= " target=\"_blank\"" ;
if ( $klasse != "" ){ $outp .= " class=\"" . $cl . "\""; }
$outp .= " >" . $text . "</a>" ;
return( $outp );
}
Other version with date as input:
function geohashing_textlink2( $my_year , $my_month , $my_day , $cl = "" ){
/* a text link to a special day
Parameters: Year, Month and Day
$cl (optional): CSS Class for the link */
$complete_date
= mktime(0, 0, 0, $my_month, $my_day, $my_year);
//... continue as the function above
