		+	:Ooh, I missed this discussion. Let me just offer a couple replies to start with. First, the English version that translators have been working from is at [[User:Trey56/HRWiki:Welcome/LANGUAGE_CODE]]. Second, it sounds like what you're suggesting is creating a centralized English welcome page at either [[HRWiki:Welcome]] or [[HRWiki:Welcome/en]] (correct me if I'm wrong). This might be a good idea, but if I had to help out a new user, I'd probably direct them to [[HRWiki:About]] for a welcome page and [[HRWiki:Introduction]] for a resource for a new editor. Is your idea to combine the functions of these into a single page?

Stux: English Language link

English Language link

New page

== English Language link ==

I think it would make sense for this list to also contain a link to an appropriate english-language welcome page. I was thinking [[HRWiki:Introduction]] but it doesn't seem quite right. Perhaps [[HRWiki:About]] is more appropriate? The nice thing I like about these pages is that they serve as an all-in-one "welcome" portal for foreign-language speakers. <run on sentence>Of course given that these are smaller, they serve three purposes: '''1.''' serve as a "language-specific main page/hr portal", '''2.''' introduce the wiki (what it is to new users) -- er ok not really after reading the spanish version (but maybe it should!), and '''3.''' explain users how the subtitles system works.</run on sentence> I'm starting to realize that I'm trying to hit many points here all at once. So I'll make another list! Er, here goes:
#Where did you guys get the english-version template for these welcome pages? I don't see it. It would be very useful for future welcome-page translators to find it easily (a link can be added to the [[:Category:International welcome pages|category]] or something.)
#Links to editing guides (with explicit mention that they are all in English) might be useful.
#Okay, this is a big one, so I'll try to be brief: these, being "Mini" Main pages, to me, point out links/information that's missing from the main page. Mainly information for would-be editors. Granted, wiki-ing can be complex, and the welcome templates try to help new users get acclimated, but I'd like to ask/postulate: we lack a compact and "centralized" new-editor resource, I think. Do we need one? Would it be useful to somewhat condense and reorganize editor welcomed (yeah I'll copy this later to [[HRW:DB]]). I'm posing these welcome pages as compact examples (sans the Subtitles instruction stuff). Please stop me if I'm losing anybody.
#Given the above point, and my previous question of adding an english-language link, I think the best option would be to include the [[Main Page]] as the english link. Especially since there's [[Talk:Main_Page#Redesign_of_Main_Page_for_Welcome_Page_Project|talk]] of a redesign. I'll voice my opinions on that issue (reflecting some of these) later.
