No boilerplate welcomes, please
I - if I'd be new to wikiindex - would prefer a few welcoming words typed by hand. Is there anybody who shares my opinion?
--Wolf | talk 17:56, 10 November 2009 (EST) ...in the hope my english isn't wrong...
- Yes, I also like words that come from a human, rather than a machine.
- What do you think about a little bit of both -- for example, the welcome to User talk:Dukester101? --DavidCary 22:43, 12 April 2010 (EDT)
- I think the boilerplate welcome is perfectly acceptable, as it conveys some standard and important 'procedures' here on WikiIndex. However, I also think it is equally important to add a few personally typed words too. --Hoof Hearted 09:19, 2 January 2012 (PST)

Improving the boilerplate
It reads:
- We prefer RealNames, but you can and you are welcome to make constructive additions if you don't like to use your real name.
That means: You are only then welcome to make constructive additions if You don't like to use Your real name. If You like to use Your real name, You are not welcome to make constructive edits?
This comes from mingling the constructive edits topic with the real name topic. I'm also used to create long winding sentences. But on such a boilerplate all sentences should be short an easy. And for discussions on real names it is too late. That person has already decided which name to use. And this decision was accepted by welcoming the new user. So, cut it out!--Manorainjan (talk) 10:52, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
