Template talk:Welcome-unconstructive

This template is in the collection of greetings templates maintained by the Welcoming Committee. For other templates in the collection, see Welcome templates.

No need to include the verbiage "Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me" in my opinion. Bwrs (talk) 02:42, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Though it may be redundant, the inital rationale was that the template was trying to be as friendly as possible with the most borderline/potentially misinterpreted cases of vandalism. What I'd prefer to cut, if anything were cut from that paragraph, would be the "I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia!" - Excessively saccarin, it seems to also strip a lot of the attention away from what follows.

I think that the final signature, i.e. ~~~~, should not be included in the template, as it is not included in the standard {{welcome}} template. Anna Lincoln (talk) 16:19, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This behaviour has been in place for a good while now, so changing it would probably not be a good idea. Note I added the ability to put in a message before your sig by typing |3=Message here ,,, ... –xeno (talk) 16:27, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

spacing / bold

Not sure if this is because of a custom JS or gadget, but I notice when I use this template (both on the receivers talk page as well as on this template page) that the bold text of "your recent contributions" is too close to preceding word "of". It looks as if there is no space between the words, although I can see from the template that there is a space there. Like I said, maybe it's my JS or maybe it's firefox... but I thought I would mention it to see if others notice it also. Thanks. JCutter ^{{ talk to me }} 01:16, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{editprotected}} Shouldn't the welcome header be coded as simply "==Header=="? Logan | Talk 22:56, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome templates do not typically have a section header, which is I assume why this one also uses a customized, bolded header instead. If you think this is wrong or should be changed, you should start a discussion and probably invite people from Template talk:Welcome over, where people interested in this kind of templates might be found.

quotes around sandbox

I don't think they're necessary as I think that they may make using the sandbox a bit more intimidating for vandals to actually use it. --Tommy²⁰¹⁰ 02:07, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from 99.139.146.33, 21 July 2010

It is requested that an edit be made to the template-protected template at Template:Welcome-unconstructive.
(edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · test cases · transclusion count · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.

Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the template's sandbox and test them thoroughly here before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

This template is currently displaying an extraneous { symbol. To fix this, please replace this sentence:

Feel free to write a note on the bottom of {{{{{{|safesubst:}}}#if:{{{2|}}}|[[User talk:{{{2}}}{{!}}my talk page]]|my talk page}} if you want to get in touch with me.

with this sentence:

Feel free to write a note on the bottom of {{{{{|safesubst:}}}#if:{{{2|}}}|[[User talk:{{{2}}}{{!}}my talk page]]|my talk page}} if you want to get in touch with me.

This removes the extra { from the beginning of the #if parser function. Thanks. 99.139.146.33 (talk) 02:59, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
