I’d like to put ({{BASEPAGENAME}}) in between “Someone using this IP address” and “has made unhelpful edits”. Rcsprinter^{Gimme a message} 15:42, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Should a mention of the sandbox be added to this template? cimanyD (talk) 20:12, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Should this template include <!– Template:uw-cluebotwarning1 –> to indicate to cluebot that the user already received the equivalent of a level 1 warning? —Ahecht (talk) 22:48, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anyway that we can change this template make it look less threatening, and more like a welcome? Say like changing the coloring? Boomer Vial^Holla 20:47, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If nobody objects, I’m going to go ahead and change the background of this template to the standard white. This yellow isn’t used in any other welcome templates that I can find and I have concerns about the contrast and vision accessibility. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 00:19, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Cymru.lass: I agree; the yellow background always surprised me. I think that it makes the message appear more like a “general automatic notice” than a personal welcome. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:40, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The copy doesn’t make a lot of sense now that temporary accounts are being used. Should we update this template to not refer to IP addresses? Suriname0 (talk) 18:53, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Welcome-unregistered-unconstructive → ? – The current title does not very well convey the strength of the wording used in the template. The template should be renamed to something like “Welcome-unregistered-vandalism” or “Welcome-unregistered-reverted”, those would be a lot more clear as to the template’s contents. I am mainly making this requested move because I welcomed @~2026-75481-1 using this template and they were not receptive to this kind of messaging. I think using the word “vandalism” makes a lot of sense because this encompasses the additional concept of a revert, in addition vandalism is not welcome on Wikipedia per Wikipedia:Vandalism, this is the one I tend to support most. Warning a user of vandalism should be left to a warning template, not a welcome template because welcome templates should usually assume good faith, this means that there is also a discussion to be had about deleting the template. There is also some pertinence in making a name change because on the previous move to the template’s current title, the closer said although I think we’d better have suggestions for what it is to be renamed to.
