You're Welcome

You're very welcome. You're the first person to thank me for welcoming them — ever. Have fun editing the encyclopedia. Malinaccier (talk contribs) 22:49, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Yep, for the template I used to welcome you, I just type {{subst:User:Malinaccier/Welcome }}. Don't forget to substitute the template (it makes the template turn to code instead of {{subst:User:Malinaccier/Welcome}}). Some other templates can be found here. If you're interested in welcoming new users, visit the Welcoming Committee.
