What?

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
  • 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
