Hello, Welcome screen, and Welcome to Wikipedia!   

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. As a first step, you may wish to read the Introduction.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Teahouse.

Here are some more resources to help you as you explore and contribute to the world's largest encyclopedia...

Additional tips...

  • Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
  • If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

Welcome screen, good luck, and have fun. ~~~~
Template documentation

Usage

  • To greet a user with this template just as it appears above (your signature will automatically replace the ~~~~), place the following wikicode on the user's talk page: {{subst:Welcome screen}}
  • To add a message before the last sentence, use: {{subst:Welcome screen|message}}
    Replace message with your desired message. It will be inserted into the greeting before "Good luck, and have fun."
  • To add a (level-2) heading above the box, use: {{subst:Welcome screen|heading=text}}
    The heading will be titled as what you replace text with.
  • To make the template transparent, for use on custom-designed talk pages with built-in formatting, use: {{subst:Welcome screen|clear=true}}
  • The above options can be combined: {{subst:Welcome screen|Wikipedia is far better than Britannica.|heading=Welcome to Wikipedia}}
