{| class="toccolours"
|[[File:caution.png|45px]] || '''Keepin mind''' that everything here is in the middle of a major overhaul after the move from the old domain, especially with the new page structure (i.e., ''<date>/article'' instead of a portion on a date's page).  See the new [[Gunsopedia:guidelines|guidelines page]] for more details.

{{TOC right}}An '''Article of the Day''' or '''AOTD''' is a small lead-in/teaser placed on the front page describing the featured article that is being showcased that day.
