User talk:Sadaharu/welcome

Yes, it is cool.

But is it really? And is it legal?


 * Well, it is more a customized version of the regular welcome. You customized it the way you wanted to. I see no wrong in having this.
 * No you cannot substitute this template for . Users affected by you may be receiving less information than they should; additionally, it makes you look special, when all users are equal. 14:17, 3 June 2007 (EDT)
 * Less? They're actually receiving more information, like what exactly a sysop is, and it holds appeal towards more experienced wikiers as well. Any user that may want his or her own welcome template should feel free to make their own, this doesn't make me feel special, its merely a more personal approach to the welcoming process. If you have any complaints about anything in particular in the template, you may voice your concern. As for all users being equal, I agree, but I want to point out who's talking "Mr. Oligarchy."

Concerns

 * Personal approach makes it seemed biased. The basic template provides all the information.
 * Varying welcome templates affects the users, which is not good at all.

Would another update to the welcome template sastify you? And don't dare insult me again. 14:28, 3 June 2007 (EDT)

Well, the current welcome template has several concerns of its own. The good thing about a persoanl welcome temp. is that the person laying out the template onto a talk page is actually ONLINE at the time. This was also a lot of work to set up, and I wonder how the differences affect new users, could you elaborate?
 * The user becomes biased toward only what YOU think is important. 14:33, 3 June 2007 (EDT)
 * I have everything from the original template, but have added the definition of sysop, added about PPs and Pipe Plaza. The PPTDS link is an EXAMPLE.
