Since we have a separate IP welcome template, should we take out the part that relates to signing in/creating a username? Miles (talk) 21:10, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
- Yes; chances are, the person has an account and is logged on when this template is put up (I noticed that this is put up when a new user makes a contribution), so the creating a username part should be taken out. Friedbeef1 Ho ho ho! 03:57, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Should we put 
in it so new users can know what it is so they can sign their post easier?Smoreking(T) (c) 01:57, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
If {{{1}}} and {{{2}}} are the same, can they merged into just one selection, or no? Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs 23:17, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- {{1}} is the welcomer's username; {{2}} can be their signature --> different. Miles (talk) 00:55, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
- Cool, I have a custom signature, for two months ago. Thanks for telling me that. Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs 01:08, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
WTF
How come every time I use the template, it goes horribly wrong and shoves my username into it? SD706/FnW - (U•T•C ) 01:28, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
{{subst:welcome|Silverdragon706|~~~~}} Just use that. And fix it to the way it was before you started editing it.Smoreking(T) (c) 01:31, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
Welcome vs Welcome IP
The line about creating an account needs to be removed - that's only appropriate if the user is an IP, and there's actually a separate template for that. This was fleetingly discussed in December, but nothing was actually done about it. I think that the entire line should be removed. At the moment the template doesn't really make sense, which isn't doesn't create the best first impression for a new user. PenguinofDeath 10:10, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
An IRC link?
IRC would keep the user busy and it's better to include it (If you want to talk about unrelated stuff, use SW:IRC). Most people who welcome don't bother to do this like me, so can we include an IRC link, and maybe a Freenode link and how to use it?--MegaTron1XD
