Summary: welcome.py fails without signature definition page.

Initial Comment:
from Japanese Wikipedia:

If welcome.py is used without signature definition page, an exception is thrown. 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "welcome.py", line 889, in ?
    for x in main(settingsBot):
  File "welcome.py", line 754, in main
    welcom = welcomer % sign
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

I tried to watch "welcomer" and "sign", it is:
welcomer: {{subst:Welcome}}
sign: --~~~~

Temporary measure is as follows:
welcom = welcomer + sign

I understood it. It was a miss of code change by me. I tried again new
welcomer parameter as "{{subst:Welcome}} %s"... It was a success.

I am sorry and thank you for your comment.

The current code works for me (welcomer should contain %s). Which
parameters did you use? Did you change the bot's code, and how?
