Wikipedia App misleadingly labels the Commons Picture of the Day as the Wikipedia Picture of the Day, which it isn't
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Problem

In the Wikipedia App, it shows "Picture of the day". Misleadingly, this is *not* the Wikipedia picture of the day (n.b. not all Wikipedias have a POTD, see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6998859), it's the Commons POTD. This causes confusion like https://wikis.world/@legoktm/109677841260521424

Either the app should actually pull the Wikipedia POTD, or label it as "Commons picture of the day".
