=== Welcome ===
{{t|welcIP}} ''and'' {{t|welcome}}
*The first (with longer version "welcomeIP" for those of you who like typing more) is to welcome new non-vandalistic contributors who are "anonymous", identified only by their IP number; it encourages them to register.
* The second template is for welcoming new registered users. Should be customized for the wiki, indicating the pages we most want newcomers to visit.
*The above two templates are very suitable for having "subst:" prefixed, because they can be edited with additions or deletions appropriate to the apparent strengths of the person being welcomed; e.g. if the contributor has already demonstrated good wiki editing skills you could delete references to pages about "how to edit".
