Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains/Welcome

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello and welcome to the Trains WikiProject! Thank you for adding your name to our project membership list. Our goal is to build the most comprehensive and detailed guide to rail transport on Wikipedia. As a project member, you may add the project membership userbox to your user page if you wish.

If you haven't done so already, please add our main project page to your watchlist and take some time to review the Trains project manual of style where we have collected guidelines and suggestions on notability and style for a consistent representation of rail transport related material. If you're curious about where to start, we've gathered a few suggestions in the Trains project to do list. If you'd like to specialize in a particular area of study within rail transport, take a look at the current Trains project task forces.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the project talk page or on my talk page. Again, welcome and happy editing!

Template usage notes
  • Please remember to substitute the template using {{subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains/Welcome}}.
  • Unlike some other welcome templates, this one doesn't include a heading. You'll still need to use the "Add new comment" button at the top or manually add a heading.
  • This template doesn't cover the basics of Wikipedia editing. For brand-new editors, you should use a regular Welcome template.
  • Don't forget to sign your post with ~~~~. It'd be awful to tell someone to use your talk page if they have no clue who you are...
