Forum:Disabling welcome messages

In my wiki, everyone gets a welcome message automaticlly. This is a problem, because I want to welcome people to my wiki myself. And frankly people who vandalize pages don't deserve a welcome message. It shouldn't be automatic. And the part about this that annoys me the most is that my name is signed. I don't want my name signed for something I didn't do. So my question is, how do I disable those automatic welcome messages on my wiki? I really want to stop them, if I want to welcome people to my wiki myself, I'm not telling vandals that they're welcome to my wiki, because people that edit pages and add vandalism don't deserve any welcome message at all.

 * Hi. If you'd like to disable the welcome messages, add @disabled to MediaWiki:Welcome-user. Keep in mind, though, that if you ever want to apply for something like a Wikia spotlight, you will need to have that enabled. =) - Brandon Rhea (talk) 02:04, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
