Welcome2 displays the recipient's talk page instead of the sender's. -- Viajero 18:41, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not broken - it just isn't used right. The proper use of Welcome2 to is  by putting your name after the pipe it will properly redirect the user to your talk page. Can someone with admin rights restore this so that it can be used correctly. Thx Trödel|talk 00:19, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: It says Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. That is a little confusing. It makes it seem like whatever day somebody reads the comment of the user, then it will have that date. For example if you read my comment right now, and right now was ten days after I posted the comment, then it would say the current day (Ten days later: 4/28/06).
I think it should be Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the date & time your message was saved.

thread_title: Pronoun fix

message: After the Welcome subheading, could someone add an exclamation mark after the "Welcome"? i.e. So "==Welcome==" becomes "==Welcome!==". Not only that, can you add an exclamation mark at the end of "Welcome to Wikipedia"? --AAA! (AAAA) 07:42, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there any particular reason for this, or do you just want the welcome template to seem more jolly? Axem Titanium 04:57, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Also, the other welcome templates have exclamation marks so I imagine that those would serve your purposes well enough. Axem Titanium 04:59, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't think that this change is particularly needed, and personally don't prefer it. If you want an exclamation mark, feel free to create a welcome template in your userspace with one. GracenotesT § 02:28, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Instead of having ==Welcome== be the section head text, let's use ==Welcome!== (with the exclaimation point) instead.  Besides that it mirrors , it shows that we want to welcome people loudly.  I'd change it myself if it wasn't protected.  --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 23:03, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I would like to add a /doc page, adding all of the  infomation to the /doc, then adding .  I have already created the page: 
:Template:Welcome2/doc 
All that needs to be done is:
# The category tag needs to be moved outside of the  tag
#  the information between the  <noinclude> tag needs to be deleted, and 
#  put in its place. 
Many thanks in advance. I will give a  to any admin who does this, just let me know when you want your damn cookie, because I don't maintain a watchlist. Ikip (talk) 04:53, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
