Template talk:Welcome screen

This template is in the collection of greetings templates maintained by the Welcoming Committee. For other templates in the collection, see Welcome templates.

Suggestion

Same reason as in the W-graphical template. There should be a comma after "Hello". - Eugene Krabs (talk) 03:34, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Add nosig option

Can a "|nosig=true" option be added like with Template:W-basic?

Also, the message field ({{subst:w-screen|message}}) on this template does not seem to work. Thanks. -Fnlayson (talk) 16:15, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Broken?

Hi, I used this template on a new user's page and the message function doesn't work, I double checked by using the template on my own user page with the "Wikipedia is better than Brittanica" message (your formatting) and still nothing. If it's of any relevance: Windows XP SP3, Firefox 4.0.1. CaptainScreebo ^Parley! 16:54, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sorry, didn't read all of the above post, apparently it's not been working for a long time. CaptainScreebo ^Parley! 17:45, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seems this was never in the template, even though the documentation specified it (probably to do with adapting the template from something else). I've added it now. I don't think I've broken anything (I tested it in the sandbox). Rd232 ^talk 19:20, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Groovy, now that's what I call service, oh master of Wikicode. ;-) CaptainScreebo ^Parley! 20:35, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, though I think I'm more journeyman than master... :) Rd232 ^talk 22:26, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't follow the bouncing ball

This is mostly an excellent welcome screen - but if it was on my talk page, I would get tired of that bouncing globe in about 5 seconds and delete it. RockMagnetist (talk) 03:47, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For those like me who don't want it to bounce, I created {{subst:W-screen-static}}. RockMagnetist (talk) 05:04, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

With no personal offence intended to its creator, that bouncing ball is one of the nastiest animations I have seen on the Internet for quite some time. It should not require a special parameter to hide it; it should be permanently and completely destroyed. 86.179.113.102 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:15, 11 April 2012 (UTC).[reply]
