concern about "Welcome v2.0"[edit]

This newly-added template is colorful, which is nice.

The closing line, though, is confusing. Why direct new users specifically to other new users?

Why is this extra text, (add |{{PAGENAME}}|''yourusername}}.), in the table? Also, there seems to be something wrong with the template because the table formatting is broken. —Travistalk 12:13, 17 July 2007 (UTC) ...heading off to check template code[reply]

Userbox[edit]

Do we have a user box? A 10 fireplane (talk) 14:21, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sure we do, A 10 fireplane: see Wikipedia:Welcoming_committee#Welcoming_Committee_Userbox. The rest of that page will be worth looking over too – it's the main project page: Noyster (talk), 14:34, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Noyster: thank you :) A 10 fireplane (talk) 14:37, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

'Problem User' Welcome Templates[edit]

I have been welcoming users recently and really like how the 'Problem User' welcome templates are written as they they welcome the user politely but still get across the rules. I have found that these do not exist (or I can't find in Twinkle) for IP accounts. Am I correct? RhinosF1 (talk) 08:12, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@RhinosF1: Do you mean you can't find the problem welcomes at all when warning IPs, or are you wanting IP-specific versions of the problem welcomes? - BilCat (talk) 08:46, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
IP-specific versions of the problem welcomes. I am aware of a few but there not as specific as the registered user versions. RhinosF1 (talk) 09:13, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks for clarifying. I don't know of any IP-specific problem welcomes either. either. You might try using both an IP-specific welcome and a problem-user welcome. I've done that before myself. - BilCat (talk) 09:32, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@BilCat: Is there anywhere to suggest them? RhinosF1 (talk) 15:06, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I don't know. - BilCat (talk) 00:26, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks anyway, (if anyone else has an idea ping me) RhinosF1 (talk) 17:04, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
