*Thanks!  Maybe Philip will have some ideas, but that looks great to me.  So, now we have two welcome templates?  --[[User:TK|<small>Sysop-</small>TK]] <sub>[[User_talk:TK|/MyTalk]]</sub> 21:20, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

:Well, I didn't find anything about this in the Wikipedia help right now. It's quite possible I overlooked something, but right now, it doesn't look too great, unless there's some hack that lets us do it. And I only know of this one... it's just more flexible now since it has an added parameter: Call <nowiki>{{welcome}}</nowiki> for the regular version or {{welcome|sig=[[User:JLindon|JLindon]]}} for the signed one. --[[User:JLindon|JLindon]] 21:24, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

Personal Edit Counter does not seem to be working, and perhaps should be removed? --Sysop-TK /MyTalk 14:34, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

We're glad you are here to edit. To the right are some handy links, some of which you should read as soon as you can.

(You can include these links on your user page by putting {{Useful links}} on your page.)

Thanks for reading, Welcome!

This is how it would look like after the fix. --JLindon 16:10, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

Done. :-)
Sweet, thanks for the fast edit! :) --JLindon 16:14, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
  • Someone please let me know if adding the three ~ doesn't auto add the sig of the person placing the template! --Sysop-TK /MyTalk 20:35, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
Interesting idea, but it didn't work (see how your edit actually inserted your signature into the template). I'll try one or two things in the few remaining minutes I got today... maybe it'll work, hold on... --JLindon 20:53, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
The things I threw at it didn't work as I had hoped. I now included a workaround: Just call the template as {{welcome|sig=~~~}} to get (in my case):

Welcome!

It's not perfect, but it should be good enough... at least that's my current limit of knowledge. If I learn more, I'll mention it. --JLindon 21:18, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
