| + | To use resources more efficiently and yet increase [[engagement]] possibilities, newly-created accounts have message placed on their talk page automatically, signed by a welcomer that is online at the moment, or a generic message if no welcomers are online. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Next Actions== | ||
| + | * Tagging the welcomers (making sure they know what this is all about) with [[:Category:Initial Welcomer]] | ||
| + | * Write [[MediaWiki:InitialPersonalTalkPage]] as the generic message that will only be used when none of the welcomers is online | ||
| + | * Having each welcomer's standard welcome live at User:Username/Welcome (additonal welcomes at User:Username/Welcome2 and so on optional) - ''we are waiting for dev to tell us how to format these messages, for signatures, pagename variables, etc'' | ||

| − | + | Because each person is special, maybe make a variable which takes which page the user has been working on most (except his own userpage, talkpages, etc)? | |
