== Goal ==
This template is added on the top of newly created users' discussion pages (<code><nowiki>User talk:<Username></nowiki></code>) by the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NewUserMessage NewUserMessage] extension.
This template is intended to be placed on the top of users discussion pages (<code><nowiki>User talk:<Username></nowiki></code>). New users can be found on [[Special:RecentChanges]] and in the [http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=newusers&user=&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&hide_patrol_log=1&hide_tag_log=1 user creation log].
 
This will hopefully get users better acquainted with the wiki's [[Help:Contents|documentation]], features and quirks (and maybe even make them skim through the [[FlightGear wiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]).


This will hopefully get users better aquatinted with the wiki's [[Help:Contents|documentation]], features and quirks (and maybe even make them skim through the [[FlightGear wiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]).
When added to a user discussion page this template will automatically add [[:Category:Users given welcome to the wiki template]], unless the ''nocat'' parameter is not empty.


Adding this template to a user discussion page will automatically add [[:Category:Users given welcome to the wiki template]] to that page.
{{note|As this template formerly was not automatically added, the remaining parameters are still used by the templates that got placed manually.}}

== History ==
{{Welcome to the wiki |non-manual=yes}}
As the NewUserMessage extension was added, and the template rarely, if ever was placed with no parameters the default behavior have changed . This as the extension seem to use just the template name (in essence with no parameters).
 
From this templates inception back in April 2016 up until the NewUserMessage extension was added in February 2021, this template was added manually to the discussion page of new users, and per default had the line ''This template was added manually by another user''.  However, as this template was added manually by [[User:Johan G]], he would, in case there was questions, use the '''added-by''' parameter.
