Template talk:Welcome award

This template is in the collection of greetings templates maintained by the Welcoming Committee. For other templates in the collection, see Welcome templates.

Switching the 'Award' box from left to right.

Dear fellow editors,
I noticed that the bullets of the bulleted list encroach into the box containing the Award, on the left of the page. I will therefore switch the box to the right of the page. However, if anyone objects, then please feel free to revert my edit, especially if I have inadvertently contravened some earlier, consensual agreement reached between members of the Welcoming committee.
With kind regards;

Changed the first line.

Dear fellow editors,
Today, I noticed a typo in the template's first line, which I fixed ('commununity' > 'community').
However, while also looking at other 'Welcome' templates, I noticed that this one does not link to the welcoming committee's Welcome to Wikipedia page, unlike some of the others. I therefore aligned this template with the others, since the welcoming committee's page offers lots of additional pointers to those in the present template, and would therefore be much more helpful to new joiners than the simple sentence: "welcome to the community".
Again, if anyone should object to this improvement, then by all means feel free to revert my edit.
With kind regards;

Remove the section header?

The current Wikipedia interface asks for a topic header when starting a new topic on someone's talk page. If I use that approach (instead of editing the page entirely) and then substitute this template in, I end up with two topics headers (the one I entered and "Welcome", which is part of this template). Should we remove the included topic header, or at least add a flag so that it can be removed if needed? Gaurav (talk) 17:24, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
