	* The second template is for welcoming new registered users. Should be customized for the wiki, indicating the pages we most want newcomers to visit.
	*The above two templates are very suitable for having "subst:" prefixed, because they can be edited with additions or deletions appropriate to the apparent strengths of the person being welcomed; e.g. if the contributor has already demonstrated good wiki editing skills you could delete references to pages about "how to edit".

	~~=== Wikipedia ===~~
	~~{{t\|wikipedia}}, {{t\|wikipedia-deleted}}~~
