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.
