Talkback
By the way, why do you keep blanking this page? It's a lot easier if you just leave things on here - for example, the welcome that I provided earlier has lots of very useful links. Anyway.  Chzz  ►  18:24, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

How to welcome users
Hi there.

I've just realised that, a few days ago, you asked me how to welcome new users. You also asked me about talkback - I answered the latter and not the former; sorry I missed it. Here is a delayed answer.


 * Go to special:logs
 * In the logs drop-down, choose 'user creation log'. Look for users who have made contributions but do not have a talk page - so, look for users with a redlink talk, but a link in contribs. (Don't welcome users that have not contributed; lots of accounts are created and never used, so no point cluttering up the wiki).
 * Also, skip any inappropriate user names (see WP:USERNAME) - consider reporting these on WP:ACC if appropriate.
 * Click their redlinked talk page, and create the page.
 * You can either use a standard welcome template, or use my own.
 * If you use a standard template, you should make a new section with == Welcome ==, then, on the next line, put
 * If you use mine, it creates a section automatically, so you just put


 * Put a suitable edit summary, such as 'welcome', and save the page
