I'll leave a standard "welcome template" below, that contains a few useful links and tips. ~~~~
{{subst:User:Quiddity/welcome}} ~~~~
{{subst:User:Quiddity/welcome|art=}} ~~~~
{{subst:User:Quiddity/welcome|anon=yes}} ~~~~
basic version gives:
Welcome
Hello, Quiddity, welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
Here are a few pages that you might find interesting and helpful:
- Editing: The concise cheatsheet, or the short introduction guide
- Articles: WP:42 summarizes how we decide on an article's existence and contents
- Overview: The WP:Five pillars, are our condensed philosophy and policies
- WP:Featured article criteria, the standard that all articles are trying to achieve (eventually)
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username and the date.
Don't be afraid of making mistakes, as all changes are kept, and problems can be easily reverted with the "history" tab of each page.
If you need help, check out WP:Questions, or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!
