:Also. Any templates not subst:ed in the welcome must be templates that will never change. Otherwise it would crash the wiki when it was updated, and the servers try to update thousands of pages. The welcome template is something that not just 'may' be changed, but must be changed. That's the whole reason the welcome template is subst:ed. The code you have suggested would defeat that purpose, as it we would instead have to update the template Welcome/Source, which is not subst:ed.<span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 02:07, 6 December 2011 (UTC) | :Also.

==A question== | |||
Excuse me, could you please tell me if only the staff can post this template on the new users' talk page? Or do I fail on finding non-staff signatures just because the staff is more aware? Also, in case that's true, can a normal user post this template on his/her own talk page?
