:And don't you have a bot to put that template up?[[User:ZW Neo|ZW Neo]] 10:47, 31 January 2010 (UTC) | :And don't you have a bot to put that template up?[[User:ZW Neo|ZW Neo]] 10:47, 31 January 2010 (UTC) | ||
::Putting the whole template there would absolutely kill the server if it was ever changed (and change it often does). Every user gets a welcome, and every user keeps it (per Bulbapedia's {{bp|talk page}} policy, removing comments including the initial welcome is prohibited). Having a bot to do the welcoming was chucked around at one point; I think the outcome was that the new users like the personal touch. At any rate, welcome to Bulbapedia; I hope you stick around. —'''<span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="color:#000">darklord</span>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 11:41, 31 January 2010 (UTC) | ::Putting the whole template there would absolutely kill the server if it was ever changed (and change it often does).

:::Forcing people to keep a welcome is a little ridiculous. No other wiki does that. Besides, I kknow what I'm doing when I edit. I can make people's heads EXPLODE with templates :P[[User:ZW Neo|ZW Neo]] 18:41, 31 January 2010 (UTC) |
