Template:Welcome
I think we should start putting this on new users' userpages, so that they feel welcomed and are likely to stay longer. - Greenpickle(talk) 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."

That sounds good. I laughed at 'enthralled'...
Okay, how about:
'''Welcome'''
Hello, {{PAGENAME}}, and welcome to Pikipedia, a Wiki with information regarding
Pikmin. The administration thanks you for registering, and has provided some useful
links to help familiarize yourself with rules, regulations and other such facilities.
We hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Looks good.-Me_just_in
Updated. Now, I think we should start putting this on new users' userpages, so that they feel welcomed and are likely to stay longer. - Greenpickle(talk) 19:06, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Ingenious cogitation Greenpickle! I agree. -Me_just_in
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?--Prezintenden(babble) 13:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm...not...sure....-Me_just_in
Maybe just put it on the userpage when the user first makes a contribution - when we see their name in recent changes. - Greenpickle(talk) 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. -Me_just_in
Holy crap, it was vandalised, and we didn't know it.
