Is it an okay idea to have a template for this? I just put this template here now, so I'm wondering if I should have it for others who don't know what to say when welcoming. --Darklinkskywalker 21:19, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I don't like it. It's just going to make the welcomes even more ridiculously impersonal. Homestar Coder 22:13, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

This is what I find (an almost word-for-word copy) on most pages with welcomes on them, so I figured I would just make a template for them to make them quick and easier. —↑_{Darklinkskywalker}|^{Talk_|i did this stuff_}↓

Oh, I know that people just copy this word-for-word anyway, so the template can't really do too much more harm. I'm just saying, I don't like our current system of welcoming. Homestar Coder 23:23, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. We should probably change it around or fix it up a bit. —↑_{Darklinkskywalker}|^{Talk_|i did this stuff_}↓

That's not what I mean. I mean I don't like this cookie-cutter welcome message at all. I'm a proponent of only offering help if people look like they need it, so when I welcome somebody, I just say "welcome" and help them with the specific thing they look to be struggling with.

Oh, okay. I guess. --—↑_{Darklinkskywalker}|^{Talk_|i did this stuff_}↓ 19:12, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I wouldn't really know what they would be struggling with, and lots of non-sysops probably wouldn't know either. --—↑_{Darklinkskywalker}|^{Talk_|i did this stuff_}↓ 22:23, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)
