 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:User:Brendon111/Welcome}}). |
Usage
{{subst:User:Brendon111/Welcome}}
or
{{subst:User:Brendon111/Welcome|1=Your user name}}
(provides a link to your talk page) but, "1=" is incidental in this case
or
{{subst:User:Brendon111/Welcome|signame=your nick name}}
(Provides the user with your "nick-name" or "signing name" of choice)
or
{{subst:User:Brendon111/Welcome|signame=your nick name|art=Article where the user has put efforts in}}
(Provides the user with your "nick-name" and shows appreciation for editor's work)
But I'd recommend,
{{subst:User:Brendon111/Welcome|1=Your user-name|signame=your nick name|art=Article where the user has put efforts in}}
(provides a link to your talk page as well as your "nick name" of choice)
For twinkle users
To include this in the list of your twinkle welcome templates follow the steps.
- Don't panic; it's very simple really.
- Visit Twinkle Preferences
- Find section "Custom welcome templates to display"
- Click the button "Edit items"
- On the pop-up click "add".
- In the box titled "Template name (no curly brackets)", add
User:Brendon111/Welcome|1=Your username|signame=your nick name|twinkle=y
Note:Don't forget to replace "Your username" section with your username and "your nick name" section with your nickname, if any, otherwise leave the whole section empty, like this:
"User:Brendon111/Welcome|1=Your username|twinkle=y" - Add <any descriptive text> in the "Text to show in Welcome dialog".
- Refresh the page (empty cache).
- You're ready to use the template for welcoming users directly from twinkle. Open a user talk page, start twinkle "welcome" and search for the description you added on the preference page, it ought to be under the heading "Custom welcome templates".
This template automatically signs itself. Don't add the four tildes underneath it.
