Template:Welcome

Instructions for {{Welcome}}

{{Welcome}} is the template which automatically gets stamped on a new registered user's talk page. As of 26 February 2024, it is best used by User:JIMBO, our welcome bot. It may not function entirely when used manually by a human editor.

The sample output below generally shows the form of the message, but the special variables ($1, $2, $3, $4), only work for JIMBO. These variables don't universally get filled in if a human editor uses this template manually.

Usage

This template should generally not be used by any human users of this site.

However, if you run across a user that has made edits but has not been welcomed automatically by JIMBO, please do manually emplace this template. Occasionally, JIMBO fails in his duties and needs a little human help.

Sample output
