User:Pdebee/Welcoming users
{{userpage}}
This is a list of the Welcome templates I use regularly, sometimes after monitoring the User creation log.
Method
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}} — 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}} — is for anonymous users; less detailed but encourages getting a username.
