I am aware of the text which is displayed in the edit summary when a user registers, but this is much better. It creates the user's talk page and makes them feel more like they are being welcomed by people. I think it would be awesome if Wars Wiki could have a welcome bot similar to [http://www.wikirby.info/wiki/User:Kirbot WiKirby's]. It could use a [http://www.wikirby.info/wiki/Template:Welcome Welcome template], which is constructed and used by the [http://www.wikirby.info/wiki/Template:WelcomeTemp template which actually codes it]. When in use, the bot will create the user's talk page automatically when they join, as I said above, as well as other bot things which I myself understand little about. If you decide that Wars Wiki will have a bot like this, please say so and I will try to get a hold of Adam (the NIWA's tech master in my opinion), where he can help you program it. I think Axiomist and Justin also may be able to help too, so it should be easy enough.

:I know nothing about bots, but I could write up a template like Bulbapedia's <span class="plainlinks">[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Template:Welcome Template:Welcome]</span> as an alternative. Easier, but someone would have to remember to check the Recent Changes periodically, and add it to the new users' talk pages. — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User Talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 15:26, 2 August 2010 (PDT) |
