Template:Welcome/doc

undefined is the template which automatically gets stamped on a new registered user's talk page. As of 19:22, September 20, 2011 (UTC), it is only for use by User:Wikia, the welcome bot. It does not function properly when used manually by a human editor.

The sample output below generally shows the form of the message, but the special variables ($1, $2, $3, $4), only work for User:Wikia.

In any event, it is unnecessary for humans to ever use this template, since the only pages where you would need to add this message manually are those of editors who have 0 edits. If you'd like to welcome that sort of non-editing user, you should use welcome NE.

Usage
This template should not be used by any human users of this site. Changes in this template will not be reflected in the message used by user:Wikia. This is effectively a dummy template, now that the welcoming process has been fully automated.

Please note, however, that this template has been updated so that it will make sense on pages where it has already been used by a human.

Sample output
The following is provided as reference only. The actual form will be different when applied by User:Wikia.
