If you don't want wikia staff to create welcome message, I suggest you to put @sysop in MediaWiki:Welcome-user. I am not sure if placing your username in the mediawiki page is workable or not, but you are not necessary to do it.

You simply use @sysop and the wiki will automatically create a new welcome message with the name of the most recent and active admin of the wiki, which is you.

Also welcome-message-user is not relevant as it only applies changes when talk page feature is enabled / message wall feature is disabled. You can delete it if you want to.

You just have to care about:
 * MediaWiki:Welcome-message-wall-user - new welcome message on message wall of new registered user.
 * MediaWiki:Welcome-message-wall-anon - new welcome message on message wall of new ip user.
