Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

This template can be used welcome a new registered contributor by adding it to their talk page.

Note that this variant is intended for users with an account. For anonymous users who edit only under their IP address, the {{welcomeIP}} template should be used instead.

Syntax

Type {{subst:welcome|<your user name>}} on a user's talk page.

Using the subst: prefix is recommended. As soon as the page is saved, the entry will lose its link to the template and become ordinary text, which can be edited and personalized.
