Template talk:Vanity2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Contents

[edit] Purpose

This template is meant to provide a friendly way to greet new users who have created a vanity page about themselves.

[edit] Usage

Copy the following code to the new user's talk page:

{{subst:vanity2|NEWUSERNAME|GREETERNAME}}

And replace "NEWUSERNAME" by the new user's user name, and also replace "GREETERNAME" by your own (the greeter's) user name.

Note that the template automatically adds a section entitled "Biographies" and adds your signature.

[edit] Example

If User:WAvegetarian sees that newbie User:Shawnc had created a vanity page about himself, then WAvegetarian can go to User talk:Shawnc and paste the following code:

{{subst:vanity2|Shawnc|WAvegetarian}}

Which then becomes the following text between <begin> and <end>:

<begin>

[edit] Biographies

Hello, Shawnc, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. To create a page about yourself, simply edit your own user page located at User:Shawnc. Please note that the main articles on Wikipedia are not meant for creating an autobiography about yourself or biographies about everyday people. For more information, refer to the following pages:
