Regarding to the Template "Hello" In my opinion the Template is great but little confusing to me. We also could make newcomers to start editing their User Pages by following this instructions:
Greetings. Your User Page has been created but still empty Help us get to know you and your interests. So, your next step is to START editing your user page: 1. Just select and copy this: ==My Profile== ==My Interests== ==My Website, blog and contact particulars== [[Category:New User Profile via copy-paste]] 2. Click in the red tab titled "User" (left to the "Talk" tab), 3. Paste what you copied, and Save the page, and congratulations, you are ready to build a great user page. Or something like that. My arguments are: * If the User Page is already created by the system (but still empty), Why do we ask the user to Create his/her User Page? * He/she can make a mistake re-writing his/her User Name in the input field. To my knowledge the system can detect the mistake and display a warning message, but it actually permit saving the new (wrong) User Page. * I just tried with this new User Page: http://www.wikieducator.org/User_talk:Helpingnorth . I completed the "User:" with the word "Helpingnorth", hit "Create my User Page", and found all this text (wich seems confusing to me): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==My profile== <!-- Please tell us a little about yourself, for example: What is your name? Where do you live? Where do you work? or spend most of your time? What is your background and or education?
