Template talk:Mentor welcome

Attribution

I've copied and pasted a little bit of the code from {{welcome cookie}}. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 14:57, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some phrasing from User:FormalDude/UW-metor. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 23:06, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Issue

Seems to be a bug with this template. Namely, the message says that the last person to edit the page on which it's posted is the mentor. You can see this if you click on previous revisions of talk pages. Eg I see some bots saying they're someone's mentor or the user is their own mentor.

@Paris1127 In this situation, is subst: being put in front of Welcome mentor (so, {{subst:Welcome mentor}})? I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 02:00, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is not. It solely says {{Mentor welcome}}. Paris1127 (talk) 02:15, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Paris1127 That's likely the problem. This template requires the subst: at the beginning, per the documentation on the template page that states This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Mentor welcome}}). I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 06:39, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
