Extension:UserWelcome

UserWelcome extension adds  parser hook that displays user-specific social info to the user on the page where a  tag is present. The extension will display the number of new user board messages, gifts, awards, friend and foe requests and the amount of points required to advance into the next level.

You need to have SocialProfile (version 1.3 or higher) installed and configured properly before installing this extension, since this requires parts of SocialProfile extension and is not meant to be used standalone.

UserWelcome extension works well with WikiTextLoggedInOut extension. For example, if you have these extensions and RandomUsersWithAvatars extension installed alongside SocialProfile, you could add the following code to your wiki's main page to show random avatars to anonymous users and user-specific social info to logged-in users:  

It's strongly recommended to add some styling to the output of  tag, so you can add the following CSS styles into your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css:
