 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:User:Ivecos/welcome}}). |
Usage edit
Without substitution of this template (or its short versions), features of the template will not work correctly.
- Preformatted with headline and signature.
- Use to welcome new editors (registered only) and provide links to useful information spread out across Wikipedia.
- To add the default version to a user's talk page, write
{{subst:User:Ivecos/welcome}}. To see how it works, transclude it in various forms to your own talk page or sandbox. - An extra message can be appended to the welcome message. If desired, include your message as the first parameter, using a pipe (
|) separator following the template name.- If your added message includes any equal signs (
=), each one must be wrapped in doubled braces, as in{{=}}. E.g., a diff should be written ashttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title{{=}}Template_talk:Welcome_to_Wikipedia&curid{{=}}32277318&diff{{=}}465230338&oldid{{=}}465229550. - If your added message includes one or more pipes (
|), replace each instance with{{!}}. This calls the template {{!}}, which adds a pipe in its place.
- If your added message includes any equal signs (
- There is no need to sign your addition as the template already contains code that does it for you. This will not work if you do not substitute the template.
