Template talk:Welcome

The problem I mentioned in my edit summary when I protected the page is this: Any time somebody clicks "[edit]" near one of the headers when the template is on their talk page, it makes them edit the template rather than their talk page. -- 21:27, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
 * That's been something long time needed to be fixed -- thanks 22:05, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
 * You're welcome. -- 23:30, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

Also someone forgot to add the Wanted Pages list in the Welcome template. The user also forgot to put blocking policy so when being welcomed the users read the reasons why Admins can block them.(Super F22 Pilot 04:13, 8 December 2007 (EST))
 * Listen dude, no one forgot to add those things. This template was created before the blocking policy was. 09:07, 9 December 2007 (EST)

I have an idea
Do you like them, the first one allows you to sign like this: so that you can put your whole signature in and the second has a link to the talk page!-- Marioguy1  My talk page (haha, no link for you ) 23:13, 5 July 2009 (EDT)
 * Being able to sign using your signature and including a time stamp sounds like a great thing at first, but when you start thinking about the problems sigs cause some users, the hassle of re-educating people how to sign the welcome template (if they don't stay on top of how it's done and don't preview, they could dole out quote a few botched welcomes before realizing their mistake, which would be bad), and other potential problems such as straining the server with the page within a page within a page (sig in Welcome in talk page), the cons outweigh the pros. Simply adding the talk page is much more straightforward, but wait until you get some more positive feedback before making any changes. - 21:01, 9 July 2009 (EDT)
 * OK, I deleted the first one but the second, I think is very good. Do you want me to contact everybody on the recent changes list (in the active users part) and ask them to give feedback? (I will do it)
 * You could try asking the online Sysops for second-opinions, but don't go bothering all the random active users, as it may just annoy them. - 21:27, 9 July 2009 (EDT)
 * Do you think I should make a proposal, this way it would educate all users (not that they need to be educated) and it would provide a chance to vote! I know users love voting, it gives them a sense of power and who doesn't like power?
 * Although it's not 100% necessary, I don't see the harm in adding a talk link. -- 00:14, 10 July 2009 (EDT)
