*'''Oppose''' Smash, lemme educate you on a little something called free will. This is practically demanding that newbies seek out the help of an admin. It perpetuates the stereotypes that admins are kings (most people wouldn't read the NPA clause proving otherwise) and new users are in-confident (some new editors might, you know, actually ''know'' the workings of a wiki).

If they were completely lost they could say so and the community would help guide them without these unnecessary steps. This would also seem very complicated for a newbie who doesn't know anything about the wiki. The limitations on who can welcome users are very arbitrary; anyone who applies and shows the skill should be able to do it, not just sysops and two rollbackers.
