Yes! I read it, and I understand what you're suggesting. I totally agree that it's important for us to be as approachable and welcoming with new people as we can. Other people responding there pointed out some of the quirks of Wikia that make that harder -- like, you can register on one wiki and then go edit on another one.

We're wrestling right now with a lot of the issues that have been brought up here, and we're working on making changes to all these systems -- profiles, messages, welcomes. The kind of discussion you guys just had on this page is the same kind of discussion we're having in the office. Welcome to our world. :)
