User:P.B. Pilhet/My Templates/Welcome
Hey there, P.B. Pilhet/My Templates, and welcome to our great encyclopedia, which currently has more than 6,915,568 articles! Even with this large number, all of your contributions are important (including the small ones), and I hope you like the place and decide to stay! Here's a few starting tips for you:
- You might want to check out the welcome page.
- Then you can have a look at our guidelines.
- After that, you can see here for a cheatsheet on editing pages (for a bigger list, see here).
After reading all this (or even just glimpsing at it), I can understand that you might feel apprehensive about editing and contributing articles, for fear of making a mistake. But don't worry too much about mistakes; after all, you're new. Instead, everyone here encourages you to be bold! If you need help with anything, feel free to leave me a message, or you can put {{helpme}} on your talk page, and someone will show up shortly to give you a hand.
One last thing: when leaving a message on someone's talk page, don't forget to put four "tildes" (~~~~) to automatically sign your name.
NOTE: This template is not formated for users other than myself (P.B. Pilhet). The "leave me a message" link automatically connects to my talk page, and not anyone else's, so please do not attempt to use this template.
