{{Blockquote|If you add or update article content, please state your source. Avoid conflicts of interest.}}

: Andy, don't know how this will go over here, as folks voted for a very sparse model with buttons. There is still {{tl|Welcome-retro}} (and {{tl|Welcome-anon-retro}}) which are more or less the old version of this one, and which might welcome your additions there if not here. Btw: this page doesn't usually move fast; min-threads to 4 would keep some around for over two years; you can always have the ToC present regardless of thread number with
:The idea of this template is to encourage editors to check out the tutorial, which teaches concepts like verification, rather than summarizing those concepts within the welcome message itself. I worry that if we included that it might start a slippery slope that'd lead ultimately to bloat. It's also relevant that the mw:Edit check feature may present a better approach for tackling uncited content additions. Cheers, Sdkb talk 04:45, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
