Hello good people! What I would like to know is that is it possible to have a section like "This day in history" on a wikia and have it change automatically on a daily basis to list the events that happened on that particular day by taking dates and events from one's wiki?

I know this sound a bit confusing, but what I mean is something like the "This day in history" column on the [Nintendo Wiki's Front Page]. I checked the source code of that section and couldn't quite figure out how it was done. I can only see that it uses the month and day magic words but nothing about how the events appear.

Is there a template or code which does this so that it lists the events daily or is it something that has to be added manually on a daily basis?

Thank you in advance for your help.
