This template is added on the top of newly created users' discussion pages (User talk:<Username>) by the NewUserMessage extension.
This will hopefully get users better acquainted with the wiki's documentation, features and quirks (and maybe even make them skim through the 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.
| Note As this template formerly was not automatically added, the remaining parameters are still used by the templates that got placed manually. |
Usage
{{Welcome to the wiki |name= |added-by= |lang= |non-manual= |nocat= }}
All parameters are optional.
- name
- You can use a different name than the wiki user name used by default if the user on his user page have stated his real or another name.
- added-by
- Your user name (shown in page history anyway)
- lang
- Two-letter language code for language to use instead of English.
- nocat
- If not empty the page will not be automatically categorized. This for example can be of help when discussion the template.

This template was added manually by Example user.
History
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.
This template is no longer meant to be added manually.
