             Bug #: 35058
           Summary: [Regression] Don't prepend 2 empty lines before the
                    Welcome template
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: code-update-regression
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: NewUserMessage

The extension prepends an empty line before the template, twice.

* One: Presumably in case there is content on the page already, however the
extension doesn't reach this code in that case since it returns early if
$talk->exists(), and even then, it should only insert the new line in case it
exists at point of saving).

* One: To create space between the (optional!) subject header.

This is also causing a visual gap on top of the user talk page:

Example:
*
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Globatlas_adventures&oldid=68039348
*
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Globatlas_adventures&action=edit

Proposing to:
* Move the first newline to where it detects the page already exists, away from
the all-case that in (so far) 100% cases is never reached, fixing the first new
line
* Move the second new line to within the if(subject) block, fixing the second
one.
