Hello Welcome screen, and Welcome to Misplaced Pages!

Welcome to Misplaced Pages! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. As a first step, you may wish to read the Introduction.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at my talk page – I'm happy to help. Or, you can ask your question at the New contributors' help page.

Here are some more resources to help you as you explore and contribute to the world's largest encyclopedia...

Finding your way around:

Need help?

How you can help:

Additional tips...

  • Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The or button, on the tool bar above Misplaced Pages's text editing window, also does this.
  • If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.

Welcome screen, good luck, and have fun. – ~~~~ Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
This template employs intricate features of template syntax. You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.
You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here.
Logo of Twinkle; Police ManAny breaking changes to this template, including moving it or nominating it for deletion, must be communicated in advance to Twinkle's users and maintainers at Misplaced Pages talk:Twinkle. The standard installation of Twinkle relies on this template. Thank you.
This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Welcome screen}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot.

Usage

Shortcuts
  • To greet a user with this template just as it appears above (your signature will automatically replace the ~~~~), place the following wikicode on the user's talk page: {{subst:Welcome screen}}
  • To add a message before the last sentence, use: {{subst:Welcome screen|message}}
    Replace message with your desired message. It will be inserted into the greeting before "Good luck, and have fun."
  • To add a (level-2) heading above the box, use: {{subst:Welcome screen|heading=text}}
    The heading will be titled as what you replace text with.
  • To make the template transparent, for use on custom-designed talk pages with built-in formatting, use: {{subst:Welcome screen|clear=true}}
  • The above options can be combined: {{subst:Welcome screen|Misplaced Pages is far better than Britannica.|heading=Welcome to Misplaced Pages}}
