User:TheNuttyOne/Welcome message
Just some concepts for a revamped welcome message.
Original Version[edit]
The current version; very form message-y.
Hi there![edit]
Welcome to our wiki, and thank you for your contributions! There's a lot to do around here, so I hope you'll stay with us and make many more improvements.
- Read this first as it provides many great resources designed to help users get oriented with the wiki and become part of the community.
- Visit the recent changes to see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.
- Questions? You can ask at the help desk or on the "discussion" page associated with each article, or post a message on my talk page!
- Need help? The community portal has an outline of the site, and pages to help you learn how to edit.
I'm really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!

Version 1[edit]
A lot less formal, but maybe too casual?
Hey![edit]

Still personal, but not completely casual either.
