Welcome...

Hello, W-basic, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might find helpful:

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or [click here to ask a question on your talk page]. Again, welcome! ~~~~

Template documentation follows
Note: the template above may sometimes be partially or fully invisible.
Visit "Template:W-basic/doc" to edit its documentation if it is available. (How does this work?)

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:W-basic}}

Instructions

To add a message in an additional paragraph before the last sentence, use:

{{subst:W-basic|message}}

Replace message with your desired message. It will be inserted into the greeting before "Again, welcome!"

To add an additional message specific to anonymous users which recommends creating an account, use:

{{subst:W-basic|anon=true}}

To add an additional message about this wiki's NPOV policy, use:

{{subst:W-basic|npov=true}}

To link to a specific article in regards to the NPOV problem, use:

{{subst:W-basic|npov=true|article=article}}

To add a border, use:

{{subst:W-basic|border=color}}

Replace color with the name or code of the color you'd like to use. This can be in either named (e.g., DarkOrchid) or hexadecimal (e.g., #9932CC) format. For a list of colors, see web colors.

To add a picture of a plate of cookies, use:

{{subst:W-basic|cookies=true}}

To add icons next to each of the bulleted links, use:

{{subst:W-basic|icons=true}}

To add a heading to the greeting (changes "Welcome..." to a level-2 heading), use:

{{subst:W-basic|heading=true}}

To change the wording of the heading, use:

{{subst:W-basic|headtext=your text}}

Replace your text with type in the text you want to replace "Welcome..." with.

To follow this template with another message, use:

{{subst:W-basic|nosig=true}}

This option takes out "Again, welcome!" and your signature.

The above options can be combined:

{{subst:W-basic|Wikipedia is cool.|border=DarkOrchid|heading=true|headtext=Bienvenido}}
