Forum:Welcome Template

How can I add a feature to a manual welcome template that shows the page the user has contributed on? Dragongnexus 09:18, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * This sounds like it's related to the new welcome tool? See User:Wikia and Help:Welcome tool for background and help with that. It should be part of the default messages though. 12:49, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I meant the manual one, not the automatic one, where you actually use a template written by and posted by a direct user. Anyway doesn't matter, I've figured a way, just look at their contributions, put .  Dragongnexus  14:35, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Not working
The Welcome tool never welcommed anyone on fr.guildwars.

You can look at the recents changes there for an example.

Here the list of mediawiki messages to check (those are direct links) :
 * MediaWiki:Welcome-user
 * MediaWiki:Welcome-enabled
 * MediaWiki:Welcome-message-user

Thanks for any help. — TulipVorlax 19:47, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * My bet its that the translation has not been finish, the es.dofus.wikia.com was not welcoming users until 2 days ago i didn't see a bot --
 * Have they enabled the welcome tool on French wikis? All the translations except User:Wikia are done. Someone should translate that page then ask a Wikia Staff to enable welcome tool on French wikis.-- BlueDevil Talk 20:28, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * So far, it had only been enabled on fr.wikia.com for testing (see welcomes). I need a French-speaker to confirm that the user page and the messages on the messaging wiki are correct before enabling it on all wikis:


 * MediaWiki:Welcome-message-anon/fr
 * MediaWiki:Welcome-message-log/fr
 * MediaWiki:Welcome-message-user/fr
 * MediaWiki:Welcome-user-page/fr

 * Ok, now it make sense.
 * I'm not sure wich page need confirmation or help with translation; the links in the list point to empty pages.
 * By the way, can someone help fixing Marc-Philipp sign over there ?
 * Many thanks to all. — TulipVorlax 23:16, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Links fixed. :) Angela (talk) 01:57, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Ok, for MediaWiki:Welcome-message-user/fr, here what it should contain : Bonjour $4 ! Bienvenue sur.

Nous sommes heureux que vous participez à et que vous ayez modifié la page $1.

S'il y a des questions, vous pouvez les poser sur ma page de discussion !

$3 There was one missing word and an inversion to fix.

Now for MediaWiki:Welcome-message-anon/fr : Bonjour, bienvenue sur. Merci pour votre contribution à la page $1.

Merci de vous connecter ou de créer un nom compte. C'est un moyen simple de garder une trace de vos contributions et facilite la communication avec le reste de la communauté.

N'hésitez pas à laisser un message sur ma page de discussion si je peux vous aider pour quoi que ce soit ! $3 MediaWiki:Welcome-message-log/fr should contain "Accueillir un nouvel utilisateur".

By the way, i dont like at all what is in MediaWiki:Welcome-user-page/fr but since i dont know how to make a better thing (yet), i'll just fix the translation :

Cette page est votre page personnelle. Ici vous pouvez donner des informations sur vous !
