Editing Template talk:Welcome

I think we should start putting this on new users' userpages, so that they feel welcomed and are likely to stay longer. - [[User:Greenpickle|<b><span style="color:Green">Greenpickle</span></b>]]<sub>[[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:Green">(talk)</span>]]</sub> 18:30, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Maybe, but perhaps add a little more to the header; something like: "Welcome to Pikipedia, a Wiki with information regarding Pikmin. The administration is enthralled to see you have registered, and have provided some helpful links to get you familiarize you to rules, regulations, and other such facilities."

(something in that ball-park)-[[User:me_just_in|<b><span style="color:orange">Me_just_in</span></b>]]

That sounds good.  I laughed at 'enthralled'...

Okay, how about:
 <nowiki>'''Welcome'''</nowiki>

Looks good.-[[User:me_just_in|<b><span style="color:Orange">Me_just_in</span></b>]]

Updated.  Now, I think we should start putting this on new users' userpages, so that they feel welcomed and are likely to stay longer. - [[User:Greenpickle|<b><span style="color:Green">Greenpickle</span></b>]]<sub>[[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:Green">(talk)</span>]]</sub> 19:06, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Ingenious cogitation Greenpickle! I agree. -[[User:me_just_in|<b><span style="color:Orange">Me_just_in</span></b>]]

Sorry that I'm not posting that much lately. My wlan connection just isn't doing its job.

Anyway, I wanted to ask how we know who registered a new account. Is there a option in the special page category?--[[User:Prezintenden|<b><span style="color:Gray">Prezintenden</span></b>]]<sub>[[User talk:Prezintenden|<span style="color:Gray">(babble)</span>]]</sub> 13:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm...not...sure....-[[User:me_just_in|<b><span style="color:Orange">Me_just_in</span></b>]]

Maybe just put it on the userpage when the user first makes a contribution - when we see their name in recent changes. - [[User:Greenpickle|<b><span style="color:Green">Greenpickle</span></b>]]<sub>[[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:Green">(talk)</span>]]</sub> 19:40, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

There might be a monitoring system of new members set up for sysop-es or bureaucrats, (I've never been one, I wouldn't know for certain), but that might be helpful if there is such a thing set up. -[[User:me_just_in|<b><span style="color:Orange">Me_just_in</span></b>]]
