On Wikimedia Commons http://commons.wikimedia.org they use a bot (User:Orgullobot) to welcome new users. You could create your own similar bot if you wanted to do this.

I design a {{welcome}} template for new users.

Now the wiki has grown a little larger and it's quite annoying to do it by hand.
Is there anyway to have it done automatically? _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
