I had an idea that I think will be very useful. Here it goes. So do you know how the admins always send a welcome message to newcomers well I think that should go ahead but maybe there should be a link to an article made by the admins introducing important tools, a link to the forums page ect. I just think it will be efficient and easier rather then having to try and find everything yourself. I mean I am still finding new surprises on here.

Admins are not the only people who have a welcome bot to send messages to new contributors, there is a portal on the Community Dashboard for Welcomers can do that + any wikiHow contributor can if they wish send a personal welcome message.  We do send links to various pages, however it can be overwhelming for a new contributor to receive loads all at once.

Thank you. I have never seen that before.

The welcome message is automatic for every new user.  It includes a link to the wikiHow Tour which outlines what we are and invites the new user to participate.

I’m at a loss to understand why it’s now being suggested that we do something we’ve been doing for years now?

@ Zachariah05 you did get the tour link, check out your talk page wikihow.com/User_talk:Zachariah05

Please also be careful of your tone here, your response to @ Loiswade42 sounds a little aggressive and as you know wikiHow is a nice place to be:slight_smile:

@SarahB

I checked over it and my laptop had not fully loaded the msg and that’s why I didn’t see it
