Let's separate the two elements of a "welcome message" - one is an actual welcome, a personal exchange that should be provided by a human being. The other is the provision of useful information, links to policies and guidelines and the sort of "how-to" information that anyone should have easy access to.
I think it makes very good sense to automatically and always provide an easy-access guide to Wikipedia for new editors - especially if the registration process redirects on completion to their talkpage, rather than to a placeholder page. And, fwiw, I have been reading messages to this list for the last 5 years. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
