Thread:Talk:New Page Patrol Zoom Interface/Delayed action tags/reply (10)

Again, this depends entirely on how the messages are worded. Research has shown that  most  newbies don't  know that  these messages are templates and that's why  they  get  browned off. Note that the messages I  use are not  TLDR  diatribes with shedloads of links to  obscure policies; I  tend to  think a creator would be really  happy  if someone came on line, saw what  they  were doing, and offered some help  to  get  it  right. I know I  would,  but  in  the days when I  created my  first  pages, I  didn't  even receive a welcome template for month - and when it  came, I  had no  idea it  was only a template and I  was overjoyed at  thought  that  someone 'up  there' had really noticed my painstaking work  on  wine. In fact  one of my  very  first  edits was to  create a cut 'n paste move -  I  had absolutely  no  idea where all  the   rules were, especially  for repairing  a misspelt page name, and nobody noticed and put  me right - or chided me for it!
