Clever redirection. You can redirect this too if you really wanna. TTEchidna 10:44, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Holy crap dude! Why not just put the template itself on the page? O_o

Anyways, I don't redirect talk pages. I just don't like it. You should've told me that you were testing interwiki redirects, though. I had no way of knowing :P

And don't you have a bot to put that template up?ZW Neo 10:47, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Putting the whole template there would absolutely kill the server if it was ever changed (and change it often does). Every user gets a welcome, and every user keeps it (per Bulbapedia's talk page policy, removing comments including the initial welcome is prohibited). Having a bot to do the welcoming was chucked around at one point; I think the outcome was that the new users like the personal touch. At any rate, welcome to Bulbapedia; I hope you stick around. —darklordtrom 11:41, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Forcing people to keep a welcome is a little ridiculous. No other wiki does that. Besides, I kknow what I'm doing when I edit. I can make people's heads EXPLODE with templates :PZW Neo 18:41, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
