Teahouse host - belated welcome
Thank you for volunteering as a Host at the Teahouse. Wikipedia is a community of people working together to make knowledge free. You are an important part of that effort! By joining as a Host, and by following our expectations, you are helping new users to get started here at Wikipedia, and aiding more experienced users who just have a question about how something works. We appreciate your willingness to help!
Here are some links you may find helpful as a Host:
- Useful scripts you can install to make responding easier,
- templates to use and, of course:
- the question forum itself.
I notice that you added yourself to our 'host' list some while ago, but haven't had a chance to help out much yet. That's fine. But be aware that we do remove inactive hosts from time to time.
