Welcome!
Hello, Mentee, and welcome to Wikipedia! I’m Mentor Name and I’ve volunteered to be your Wikipedia mentor. I’m here for you whenever you need help with Wikipedia. It’s great to have you on board to help create this online encyclopedia.
See your homepage for a brief tutorial. Here are a few links you might find helpful:
Need some ideas about what kind of things need doing? Try the “Suggested edits” module top left on your homepage, or the Task Center.
Help is available: as your Mentor, you can always find me listed in the “Get editing help” module bottom right on your homepage; there are also additional help links there. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or try the Wikipedia:Teahouse to get help designed especially for new users from a team of experienced volunteers. So go ahead and ask questions — we’re here to help!
Once again, welcome to Wikipedia!
| This template is rated as beta. It is considered ready for widespread use, but as it is still relatively new, it should be applied with some caution to ensure results are as expected. |
This is a welcome template that Growth team mentors may use to welcome their mentees.
Watching the mentee’s talk page is considered a best practice and is strongly recommended.
{{subst:Welcome mentee}} ~~~~
{{subst:welcome mentee|image=token|caption=your text|project=WikiProject|headtext=New heading|customend=Final words}} ~~~~
There are six named parameters, all optional:
|project=– adds a suggestion that they consider joining a WikiProject; e.g.,Aviation,France,Geography,Women in Red, etc.; it is placed after the words “Task center” (find a WikiProject)|image=– id of a right-floated image or collage to include (see image values below); default: no image|caption=– captioning is automatic if param|image=is provided; use|caption=to override the default (see below)|heading=no– suppresses the automatic heading|headtext=– alters the heading to your choice (default:Welcome! )|customend=– Adds a custom ending to replace the default,Once again, welcome to Wikipedia!
Images
- The following images and collages are available, using the
|image=value shown below each one:
-
cookies
-
fruit
-
globe
-
kitten
-
library
-
tea
Collages – click the |image= value below each collage for a larger view:
Default captions – override these defaults via |caption=Your caption text here :
|image=cookies– Have a plate of cookies!|image=fruit– Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.
|image=globe– (none; image of Wikipedia puzzle globe only)|image=kitten– Welcome!|image=library– When adding information, please try to WP:CITE a source for each statement whenever possible!|image=tea– A cup of hot tea to welcome you!
The default caption for all collages (except screen) is an invitation to join the corresponding WikiProject. For example, for sports it is:
|image=sports– Consider joining WikiProject Sports.
The default caption for |image=screen is – Consider joining WikiProjects Film and Television.
