Template talk:Welcome-unconstructive

message: No need to include the verbiage "Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me" in my opinion.

replies: text: Though it may be redundant, the inital rationale was that the template was trying to be as friendly as possible with the most borderline/potentially misinterpreted cases of vandalism. What I'd prefer to cut, if anything were cut from that paragraph, would be the "I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia!" - Excessively saccarin, it seems to also strip a lot of the attention away from what follows.

I think that the final signature, i.e. ~~~~, should not be included in the template, as it is not included in the standard  template. Anna Lincoln (talk) 16:19, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

text: This behaviour has been in place for a good while now, so changing it would probably not be a good idea. Note I added the ability to put in a message before your sig by typing |3=Message here ,,, ... –xeno (talk) 16:27, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Not sure if this is because of a custom JS or gadget, but I notice when I use this template (both on the receivers talk page as well as on this template page) that the bold text of "your recent contributions" is too close to preceding word "of".  It looks as if there is no space between the words, although I can see from the template that there is a space there.    Like I said, maybe it's my JS or maybe it's firefox... but I thought I would mention it to see if others notice it also.  Thanks.      JCutter  { talk to me }     01:16, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the welcome header be coded as simply "==Header=="? Logan | Talk 22:56, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Welcome templates do not typically have a section header, which is I assume why this one also uses a customized, bolded header instead. If you think this is wrong or should be changed, you should start a discussion and probably invite people from Template talk:Welcome over, where people interested in this kind of templates might be found.

message: This template is currently displaying an extraneous { symbol. To fix this, please replace this sentence:
Feel free to write a note on the bottom of { if you want to get in touch with me.
with this sentence:
Feel free to write a note on the bottom of  if you want to get in touch with me.
This removes the extra { from the beginning of the #if parser function. Thanks.

message: When I post this template at a talk page, instead of a signature automatically coming up, I only see four tildes (~~~~). Is this a problem with the template, my computer, or myself? :) Cordially, Clementina talk 12:28, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Done. I made a few other tweaks as well, and I've reduced the protection to semi. Let's see if that's enough to keep out vandalism - if not then let me know. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 04:48, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

message: The University of Louisiana Monroe changed its name last year to no longer include the "at".  http://www.ulm.edu/identitystandards/I tried to revise and the edits were rejected.  This needs to be changed.  Warhawk2016 (talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Warhawk2016 This is not the place to raise this issue, it should have been raised at Talk:University of Louisiana at Monroe That said, you have now cited a reference for the change, so it should remain. - Arjayay (talk) 14:51, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

text: Yes, please discuss at Talk:University of Louisiana at Monroe. But no, a PDF brand guide isn't (alone) sufficient to rename the article, change the lead, etc.  We use WP:COMMONNAME, which may or may not include "at" at this point.  Please take the discussion to the ULM Talk page. UW Dawgs (talk) 16:51, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

message: To remove the signature, you would need to delete ~~~~. But, at minimum, you should post at WT:TWINKLE before doing so - I think that Twinkle "knows" that this template includes a signature. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:20, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , oh wow, I didn't know Twinkle auto-adds a signature. i was wondering why it was posting the signature twice and thought the template was coded incorrectly. My bad. The Pony Toast 🍞 (Talk) 15:43, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Template-protected edit request on 2 January 2021 

message: Regardless of the previous use of this template, right now it is the best messaging to use for a new editor that has had their first edits reverted even though they weren't vandalism. The only problem is the mention of vandalism, which I think only serves to put the new user on the defensive. As other editors have mentioned, in instances of true vandalism we just give the user a warning rather than a nice welcome message. I'd love to just use this template without feeling the need to manually remove the vandalism bit after posting. -- Fyrael (talk) 15:09, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Remove mention of vandalism 

message: I feel it's very redundant to have TWO links to the task center on the same line. To remove this redundancy, either it should become
*Task Centerneed some ideas of what kind of things need doing?
or
*Need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.
