Extension talk:NewUserMessage

Usage
This extension works very well, but ...

It might seem obvious to more experienced users, but it took me a while how to work out how to use the name parameter in the MediaWiki:NewUserMessage page (embarrassed smile here!)

I have only used named parameters before so thought adding would add the users name to the output but it has to be.

I will add an example MediaWiki:NewUserMessage page to the Usage section to show this.

Thanks!
Thanks for this extension, It really helps me out. I am... well lets just say I am a noob in the wiki world still, but this was pretty easy to install and to use. Thanks again =) --82.170.65.121 15:14, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Bot in Recent Changes
Hi I have set a bot as $wgNewUserMessageEditor = 'XX'; but still the change shows up in Recent Changes. All other changes by the bot do corretly not show up. Maybe cos I have changed the message to be added to UserPage? Line 42: $talk = $user->getUserPage;

Any idea? --Subfader 13:44, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure what you mean here? how does the bot fit in with NewUserMessage? I've added a global into the code called $wgNewUserSupressRC to allow you to supress the new user messages from showin up in recent changes. --Nad 21:49, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
