Hi New-welcome, and Welcome to the OLPC wiki! Olpc badge white.gif

I hope you enjoy browsing and want to stay. As a first step, you may wish to read our introduction.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at my talk page — I'm happy to help. Or, you can ask your question at the main talk page.


Here are some more resources to help you as you explore and contribute to our education project:

How you can help:

Additional tips...

  • Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp).

  • If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.

Good luck, and have fun. --~~~~

Instructions

  • To greet a user with this template just as it appears above (your signature will automatically replace the ~~~~), place the following wikicode on the user's talk page:
{{subst:new-welcome}}
  • If your signature already includes a dash of any sort, you should use:
{{subst:new-welcome|sig=~~~~}}
  • To add a message before the last sentence, use:
{{subst:new-welcome|message}}
Replace message with your desired message. It will be inserted into the greeting before "Good luck, and have fun."
  • To add a (level-2) heading above the box, use:
{{subst:new-welcome|heading=text}}
The heading will be titled as what you replace text with.
  • To make the template transparent, for use on custom-designed talk pages with built-in formatting, use:
{{subst:new-welcome|clear=true}}
  • The above options can be combined:
{{subst:new-welcome|Hello there.|heading=true|headtext=Welcome to our wiki}}
