'''New users''' are constantly joining the wiki, creating accounts, and beginning what we hope to be long and fulfilling terms as editors. The world of wikis can be a harrowing, confusing place for someone who has never contributed before, and having someone show them their first steps can be a lifesaver. 

There are editors who take it upon themselves to steer these up-and-coming contributors in the right direction. A bot will also do so by adding <code><nowiki>{{Welcome}}</nowiki></code> to the talk pages of new users. This automatically adds the welcome template to their page, as well as your name and the date.

==Userbox==
{{Userbox/welcome}}{{clear}}
You can also help in welcome other if you wish.
To identify your activity in welcoming users to your userpage, simply paste this code into your userbox section:
 <nowiki>{{Userbox/welcome}}</nowiki>

===Our welcome template===
 <nowiki>{{Welcome}}</nowiki>

{{Welcome}}
