I actually think this is a good thing. We'll give a nice welcome even
to contributors we may have mostly ignored in the past, and we can
always (as you did) respond appropriately to issues we may have.

Good change. I've tweaked it again to add the username:
Hi JohnDoe, welcome to the Vim Tips wiki!

You have a point. I did think of that, and was trying to add the
delete template to the *bottom* with a nice long reason for deletion,
but realized that doing this would also flag the settings page itself
for deletion.
I've gone ahead and disabled annonymous greetings, so this is a moot
point for now unless we decide to re-enable them later.
