This template employs intricate features of template syntax. Please do not alter it unless you are certain to understand its setup and parser functions and are ready to repair/revert all collateral damage if results are unexpected. Any experiments should be conducted and all improvements tested in the template sandbox, or in your user space, before applying anything here. |
[edit] Instructions
- To greet a user with this template just as it appears above (your signature will automatically replace the ~~~~), place the following wikicode on the user's talk page:
{{subst:w-short}}
- To add a message before the last sentence, use:
{{subst:w-short|message}}
- Replace message with your desired message. It will be inserted into the greeting before "Heppy editing!"
- To add a border, use:
{{subst:w-short|border=color}}
- Replace color with the name or code of the color you'd like to use. This can be in either named (e.g., DarkOrchid) or hexadecimal (e.g., #9932CC) format. For a list of colors, see web colors.
- To add a heading to the greeting (changes "Welcome..." to a level-2 heading), use:
{{subst:w-short|heading=true}}
- To change the wording of the heading, use:
{{subst:w-short|headtext=your text}}
- Replace your text with type in the text you want to replace "Welcome..." with.

{{subst:w-short|One more thing:|border=DarkOrchid|heading=true|headtext=Welcome to Wikipedia}}
