Extension:NewUserMessage

The NewUserMessage extension adds a message to the talk pages of newly created wiki accounts.

Usually after a new user registers on a wiki powered by MediaWiki, the message in MediaWiki:Welcomecreation is displayed. This extension allows a message in a specified template to be added into the new user's talk page instead.

Global variables
There are some global variables which affect the operation of the extension. These should be set in your LocalSettings file after the require_once of the NewUserMessage.php script.

In-wiki configuration
Other settings of the extension can be made in the MediaWiki: namespace.

Note that these items are articles, to edit them go to the article in your browser and edit the text accordingly.
