Some MediaWiki functions don't work right with threads without headings. Please manually insert one, or use the parameter h=y to have a default heading of "Welcome!".

Do not simply include this template in a User_talk page; it won't work right: {{welcome}}.

This template must only be used by substitution:

==Welcome!==  {{subst:welcome}}   [any additional advice]   ~~~~

or

{{subst:welcome|h=y}}   [any additional advice]   ~~~~

• Template:Welcomeanon – welcome message for anonymous users;
• Template:Wikipedian – welcome message for users from Wikipedia;
• Template:Welcomebusiness – welcome message for business owners.
