I noted in the VPR thread* that adding campaign links to the various welcome-templates might be a good idea. Relatedly, I was rambling last night about what links we include in welcome-templates, over at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Flow_Portal/Welcome_Module#What_content_… (There are a few good links within there, that should be checked out) We don't need to go crazy by attempting to clean up the majority (there are almost 500 welcome-templates...). But it might be good to clean up the main-directory listing them, and the most-used examples (particularly the ones twinkle uses**). Maybe we could/should: * Make a list of some recommended link-targets to include in any welcome-template * Minimize the quantity of links in each template * and fix-up some of the standard sentences. I'm also wondering if we want to try to analyze the welcome-templates, (or the links that we put in them), to the extent of grouping them into - or creating new ones to target - "demographic-specific" sets? Eg. Templates that are good for computer-geek-archetypes. Templates written for technophobe-grandfather / old-tenured-professor archetypes. Templates for pop-culture-editors who have displayed snarky humor and are likely to roll their eyes at formalese. Or by the archetypes named in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Editor_Lifecycles#Model Thought for food. Quiddity. [P.s. First post. Hopefully this works. I usually try to lurk awhile on mailinglists, but I thought this might be good/relevant content.] * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Let.27s_fi… ** https://github.com/azatoth/twinkle/blob/master/modules/friendlywelcome.js
