Welcome, W-all/sandbox!Hello, W-all/sandbox, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm Andrybak, one of the thousands of editors here at Wikipedia. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

This is the template sandbox page for Template:W-all (diff). |
This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |
This template should always be substituted (i.e., use ((subst:W-all)) ). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
This template can be used to welcome new users. This template is a combination of all the other welcome templates, like ((Welcome)), ((W-basic)), ((W-shout)), ((W-graphical)), ((W-cust)), ((Welcomeh)), etc. This template maybe, in the future, may have parameters for colors, etc. but at present it only has customizations for the skin, message, and page menu. If this template appears frighteningly complex, remember you can just place ((subst:W-all))
on someone's talk page; you don't have to use any of the special features.
Leave the section heading empty. If you want your own heading, see below.
This template automatically adds your username, the link to your talk page and a signature. The template automatically identifies anonymous (IP Users) and gives them a message encouraging them to create a user account. The template has a wide variety of skins and many parameters which will change the template in any way you want.
The following is the list of parameters and their possible values. Remember all are optional! Leave the parameter blank to get the default result.
|heading
Free-fill within a level-2 heading. (default: "Welcome from Your name".)|again=y
"Welcome," is replaced with "Welcome Again,"|cookies=y
Inserts a plate of cookies. (default: no cookies)|skin
Used to change the skin of the template:
|text
This changes the message below the main message. It is supported by all skins
|message
Gives a free-fill message after the text, such as "ask me anything! I'd love to show you around!"|bold=y
Encourages the users to be bold. For those bashful users that need that extra push. The link will only appear in the default or icons skin.|page
Mentions the page when specifying |text=
. For example, if enabled and |text=
is set to "anti", it will say "thank you for your anti-vandalism efforts on X page".|IRC=y
(not case-sensitive—irc is fine). Some users are not as tech-savvy and might need extra help. This parameter links to Wikipedia's Live Help as a suggested method of getting help started on Wikipedia.<<>> means leave the parameter empty. And if the value of the parameters is not mentioned in below, it means that you can have your own value. ((W-all |heading = |again = y/<<>> |cookies = y/<<>> |skin = graphical/g-c/plus8/icons<<>> |text = article/test/userpage/NPOV/anti/no/<<>> |message = |bold = y/<<>> |page = |IRC = y/<<>> ))
