||
| − | |||
| − | If you got a welcome from this account, then you're new on this wiki. Hi! |
||
| − | |||
| − | If you're looking for assistance, you can leave a message for the person who signed the welcome message. Follow the link to their talk page, and then hit "edit this page" to write your message. |
||
| − | |||
| − | You can also write to a [[Special:Contact|Wikia staff member]] for general Wikia help. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Information for admins== |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Wikia Welcome tool is an automatic process that helps wiki admins to welcome new editors. The goal is to show new contributors that there's a community on the wiki -- and to help connect them to admins, so they know where to go if they have questions. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When a contributor makes their first edit, the Wikia Welcome tool leaves a talk page message for them, and creates a user page. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The talk page message is signed by the [[Special:Listusers/sysop|admin]] (or Wikia staff member) who's edited the wiki most recently, to help the contributor find someone who's available to talk to them if they need it. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Admins on this wiki can customize this in various ways, by editing the following pages: |
||
| − | |||
| − | * MediaWiki:Welcome-message-user is the welcome message that's left for logged-in contributors. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * MediaWiki:Welcome-message-anon is the welcome message that's left for anonymous contributors. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * MediaWiki:Welcome-user-page is the user page that's created for logged-in contributors. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * MediaWiki:Welcome-user -- You can use this page to change the signature that's left in the welcome message, or to turn the feature off. There are three settings for this page: |
||
| − | **@latest -- This is the default setting. This means that the message will be signed by the latest admin to make an edit on the wiki. |
||
| − | **Username -- If you replace @latest with a contributor's username, then all of the messages will be signed by that contributor. |
||
| − | **@disabled -- This turns the feature off, so nobody gets a welcome message. If you turn it off, you can turn it back on again by replacing this with @latest or a username. |
||
| − | |||
| − | If you have any questions about the Wikia Welcome tool, please write a [[Special:Contact|Wikia staff member]]. |
