Hey everyone,
Recently my team needed to change a MediaWiki message in core,
MediaWiki:Welcomecreation. This message was presented to users after they
registered, and while the default contents have not changed (except for the
header, which now reads "Welcome, $1!", where $1 is the username).
However, any custom content that communities placed in to
MediaWiki:Welcomecreation needs to be moved to the new message,
MediaWiki:Welcomecreation-msg. We've generated a list of all the wikis that
seem to have customized the content.[1]
Apologies for any inconvenience, but changing the message was the cleanest
way to change the header text. If you can help get the word out to local
admins, that would be a huge help.
