Template talk:Dashboard.wikiedu.org welcome

Auto-categorize
This template should auto-categorize the page on which it is placed into a Category such as Category:Wikipedia Education students, which could be organized as a subcategory of Category:Wikipedian students. (Ditto for Outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org welcome.) Probably it should check for the User talk namespace, and either skip the categorization, or emit an error if it's not a match. Current sandbox (rev. 990093692) has auto-cat but not namespace checking. Mathglot (talk) 20:11, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Mathglot: Maybe the better place to do this would be dashboard.wikiedu.org student editor. This welcome template gets subst'd (with the idea being to make it behave more similarly to other talk page messages if the student editor tries to reply to it). The `student editor` userpage template wouldn't add mysterious wikitext to the otherwise mostly-intelligible talk section, and it would also be more intuitive in terms of how to 'unmark' yourself as a student (for example if you're continuing to edit after the course ends, and decide to make a more typical customized userpage).--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:36, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , yeah, that makes sense. I'll port the changes to the sandbox there. Mathglot (talk) 08:57, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
