(විකිපීඩියා:WC/WT වෙතින් යළි-යොමු කරන ලදි)

This is a list of templates available for greeting new users. Anyone may use these templates for greeting a new user on their Talk page. For a display of the various basic designs, see Wikipedia:Welcome template table.

Use these for a user who recently registered a username. All of the templates below can be customized with an additional message, a picture of a plate of cookies, a colored border, icons, or a different opening text.

For those who have helped in specific areas:

Improvement needed or problematic

[සංස්කරණය]

For users who have:

Topic-specific

[සංස්කරණය]

Use one of these to greet new users interested in a particular topic:

Countries and regions

[සංස්කරණය]

Used for a user who is creating or editing articles in poor English, and whose native language is known or can be guessed with reasonable confidence. (If the user has been writing articles in another language, one of the templates on Category:Non-English user warning templates should be used instead.)

Use this template to welcome the user, substituting in the language code, such as 'fr' for French, or 'de' for German:

The welcome will be issued in two languages: English, and the user's language, if the lang code corresponds to any of the following: Albanian, Chinese, Dutch, Farsi, Finnish, French, German, Hausa, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Malayalam, Marathi, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese.

If the lang code corresponds to a language not shown above, the welcome message is issued in English only. Text for any language with a Wikipedia project may be easily added to a subpage, and the template will pick it up automatically; see the /doc page for instructions.

  • {{subst:User:Piotrus/w}} this suggests a WikiProject that the new user may want to join; the full syntax is {{subst:User:Piotrus/w|WikiProjectKeyWord}}, where the WikiProjectKeyWord is what follows the Wikipedia:Wikiproject, so for example Sociology of United States

Editor retention

[සංස්කරණය]

Not strictly a "new user" welcome (more like, a "don't go" template, or "welcome to independent editing"), retention templates are geared towards editor retention, that is, keeping editors active at Wikipedia who might otherwise leave.
