Regarding substitution of welcome template
Hi Meno25,

Can you please explain why you're actively substituting usage of the Welcome template? In my opinion this is pretty much useless, doesn't improve anything. As a matter of fact I think it might actually make some things harder. For example, updates. I'm not concerned about users seeing the latest version. It's okay for the version to be fixed at the point they received the message. However the nice thing about keeping it live through transclusion is maintenance: A bot would have to fix all usages to avoid a red link or a broken layout if any of these are to be changed. Substitution also makes the wikitext of that page significantly larger. How about just leaving it as is and making use of the template technology? Krinkle (talk) 15:43, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * File usage (image is deleted, changed etc.)
 * Page links (redirects)
 * CSS classes (e.g. different class name)


 * Hi, Timo. I was substituting the template because welcome templates should always be substituted. However, since you objected, I will stop. Also, I can use my bot to unsubstitute the template (but I need to apply for a bot flag first so as not to flood recent changes). --Meno25 (talk) 13:06, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
