Can anybody put this on a talk page of a new user? The only thing that concerns me is the signature - should the welcome message have a signature of an administrator or well-known user? <span style="color: #3FFF00; font-weight: bold">UltimateSephiroth</span> <sup>(<span style="color: #003FFF">[[User:UltimateSephiroth|user]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|contrib]]</span>)</sup> 22:27, 31 October 2008 (UTC) | Can anybody put this on a talk page of a new user?

:Anyone can welcome people. Just <code><nowiki>{{subst:welcome}}</nowiki></code> and hit save. You don't need to be in a position of power to do the welcome.

I really think we could afford to cull some of this. Most of the things that have been added in the past few months now have there own specific policy pages we could link to, and I think users are about as likely to read them as they are a wall of text this large. The last three bullet points, for example, refer to the userspace policy which is already linked. And perhaps we ought to put more emphasis on reading things like the {{bp|style primer}}, which is certainly more digestible than the full-fledged MOS. | |||
Of course, I'm hoping others will be able to come up with more ideas to help out. Compare our welcome template to ones like [http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Martonimos this one]; it conveys fewer ideas, but is far more succinct and links to important pages. I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but I feel it's an important problem to solve. --[[User:Martonimos|<font color="#E00000">Martonimos</font>]] 09:50, 11 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
