Hello, when you welcome someone, use subst: for the <nowiki>{{welcome}}</nowiki> template. I mean, instead of placing <nowiki>{{welcome}}</nowiki> in the user talk page, place <nowiki>{{subst:welcome}}</nowiki>. This will make it more personal, and the new user, when hit "Edit this page" to reply to the message, will see a text, not an ugly template. Regards, [[User:Gregg|Gregg]] 15:53, August 26, 2006 (CDT)
