::: Some comments on the draft: | |||
::: * I'm not fully sure about using a prominent box - I think it stands out a bit too much. Wikipedia {{wikipedia|Template:Welcome|uses a simple thread on the Talk page}}; as an alternative, we could use lighter colors. | |||
::: * I've also expanded the text a bit. My proposal would be (I've put it in a box, but I'm for the "thread" solution): | |||
<div style="background: #fff; border: 1px #585858 solid; padding: 12px; margin: 12px"> | |||
[[Image:Example.png|left]] '''Welcome to the wiki, {{#if: {{{name|}}} | {{{name}}} | {{BASEPAGENAME}}}}'''! We hope you will enjoy your stay! | |||
