This is a list of the Welcome templates I use regularly, sometimes after monitoring the User creation log.
Method
[edit]Insert one of the following templates at the new joiner's talk page:
- {{subst:Welcome kitten}} — adds the signature automatically but does not create a new section; so, create a new section with a header first, then add the template.
- {{subst:Welcome cookie}} — adds the signature automatically but does not create a new section; so, create a new section with a header first, then add the template.
- {{subst:Welcome award}}<br>~~~~ — creates a new Welcome! section but requires the signature, as shown.
- {{subst:Welcome to Wikipedia}} — is very detailed, and can be used for IPs. Adds the signature automatically but does not create a new section; so, create a new section with a header first, then add the template.
- {{subst:Welcome-anon}}<br>~~~~ — is for anonymous users; less detailed but encourages getting a username.
