  • Need more help? The Community Portal has an outline of the site and links to pages to help you learn how to edit.

I'm really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

This template can be used welcome a new registered contributor by adding it to their talk page.

Note that this variant is intended for users with an account. For anonymous users who edit only under their IP address, the {{welcomeIP}} template should be used instead.

Syntax[edit]

Type {{subst:welcome|<your user name>}} on a user's talk page.

Using the subst: prefix is recommended. As soon as the page is saved, the entry will lose its link to the template and become ordinary text, which can be edited and personalized.
