I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~), which are produced by clicking on the File:Button sig button; this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Also, I think that you might want to join the the adopt-a-user project, where advanced editors can guide you in your first experiences here; so check it out if you want. Again, welcome!

Usage

Format

{{subst:User:Fridae'sDoom/Welcome-message
  | Message  = 
  | Heading  = 
  | Contribs =
  | Article  =
}}

Remove the parameters that are unneeded. See next section for information on the parameters.
For the default welcome message, use {{subst:User:Fridae'sDoom/Welcome-message}}.

Explanation

Parameter^[1]	Options^[2]	Explanation
`Message`	`<!-- Nothing -->`,^[3] a custom message	An optional message you want to send to the welcomed user. Note that the hidden comment does not show up if this parameter is removed.
`Heading`	`Welcome`, `<!-- Nothing -->`,^[3] another heading	A heading that you can use instead of the default "Welcome" one. Having the parameter set to nothing removes the header. Removing the parameter uses the default "Welcome" heading. You can change it to another heading.
`Contribs`	`no`, anything else	If you set this parameter to `no`, the "and I would like to thank you for your contributions" phrase will not appear. If you don't set it to anything, or set it to anything else, the phrase will appear.
`Art` `Article`	`<!-- Nothing -->`,^[3] an article name	This parameter can be used to thank someone for contributions to a specific article.

↑ The parameters are case-insensitive.
↑ The default setting is in bold, and the other choices are next to the default options.
↑ ^a ^b ^c Means that nothing is inputed, not the hidden comment.

Demonstration

Notes

The parameters do not need to be capitalized.
The time displayed is the recently purged time (click here to purge), the time will display when it was added to a new user's talk page when substituted.
The template won't work correctly if you do not subst: it. Please subst: this template.
The substed template won't look completely like the one here.
