That was quick! 
Thank you for agreeing to help a newbie. Just a final thought: I have found that by also adding the {{userpage}} template on a newbie's userpage will immediately attract their attention because, all of a sudden, they see their username changed from red to blue; this 'spectacular' clue generally prompts them to click on it (possibly for the first time ever) and thus to become aware of the fact they have a userpage and associated talk page they can read and use for contacting other users.
Thank you once again for your consideration.
By the way, I admire the work you're doing on all things Dutch and wish you all the best with your current and future projects!
With kind regards; 
Patrick.
