- Title
- Extension:NewUserMessage
- Type
- This would enable a bot that welcomes new users with a custom message on their talk page.
- Reason
- See: community portal discussion
- present new users with a resource that compiles useful links to get started on editing.
- allows for more transparency with our processes and policies
- friendly gesture towards new editors
- Links
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NewUserMessage (basically only needs to be (re-)activated for our wiki if I understood correctly)
- Possible pitfalls
- creation of unnecessary orphaned talk pages since spam bots would receive a welcome message, too. Could be combatted by implementing QuestyCaptcha.
