Template talk:Welcome

How to use it
Best to prefix this with "subst:" - ie, - so that the target page gets thae latest version but then has it disconnected from the template as soon as it's saved. Advantages: Robin Patterson 10:05, 25 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) You can then customise it
 * 2) Less load on the servers

Variations
There is room for a Template:Welc2, which can be addressed to newcomers who are clearly familiar with MediaWiki and therefore don't need to to be invited to watch "Recent changes", for example, but could be directed towards more technical tasks.
