This template was added manually by another user.

The following template description is not displayed when the template is inserted in an article.

Goal

This template is intended to be placed on the top of users discussion pages (User talk:<Username>). New users can be found on Special:RecentChanges and in the user creation log.

This will hopefully get users better aquatinted with the wiki's documentation, features and quirks (and maybe even make them skim through the Manual of Style).

Adding this template to a user discussion page will automatically add Category:Users given welcome to the wiki template to that page.

Usage

lang
Two-letter language code for language to use instead of English.
