Forum:New welcome buttons

I, Creepydude, would like to announce the new feature added on this wiki that you probably have just noticed. There are two new arrivals in the buttons seen just above the edit box. These are for welcoming a user and for welcoming an IP address, or "anon". The interface is relatively simple, and when you push the button, you will recieve a block of text with one part that you edit. An example for each is as follows:

Welcoming a user
When you push the button, you should see:

'''

with  highlighted. This means that you substitute your user name in place of that. Also, if you wish to add a personal touch to the welcome message, after you type your user name, and after the following line, you may add a message, then following will be the ~. For a full example, please see below:

However, the personal message is unneccasary, and if you do not wish to add one, then you do not need to.

Welcoming an IP, or anon
When you push the button, you should see:

with  highlighted. This means that in place of that part, you should put a message saying thanks for what they did. An example is as follows:

If you do not wish to personalise the welcome, such as above, you may remove the "THANKSFOR:" and the preceding line entirely, however, a personalised welcome is always preferred.

Thank you
Thank you for reading this, and I hope this will be helpful for welcoming users in the future. If there are any questions or comments, please post below this line. I look forward to hearing your input! 06:49, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
