If existing users welcome new folks using the hello template, it will
encourage correct placement.  Just type {{Hello}} in their discussion
page.  If a new user already has a user page, I use {{hi|new user's
name goes here|~~~~}} which is a welcome message and a request to do
the new user survey

The older version of hello combined the user page request with the
greeting, but required more steps than the newer simpler hello.

Cheers,

Declan
