what do we call ourselves
[edit]I realise this was copied directly from Wikipedia, but it's a bit of a stretch to automatically call a Commons user a Wikipedia user, don't you think? :)
But what can we call ourselves? Commonsians?
--pfctdayelise 03:26, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
- A Wikimedia user, or Wikimedian perhaps? Actually this probably needs to be asked on the Village pump, because I doubt many other people are watching this page. -- Solipsist 08:50, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Problem with two word usernames
[edit]Hi, when the welcom message came up on my user talk page it correctly read my username for the Hello and welcome part, but read it wrong for the gallery part. I've looked at the code to spot the problem but couldn't find it. Maybe someone else can? /Lokal Profil 21:34, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
The problem seems to be that external links don't support spaces (for good reason) and that {{PAGENAME}} brings down the name with spaces. If there is a simmilar command to {{PAGENAME}} which brings down the pagename with underscores that would solve the problem.
I realise that this problem is quickly worked around by the user (with some wikiknowledge), but since this is the welcome message for people who are potentially completly new to Wikimedia I think that its importent that it works. /Lokal Profil 23:22, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note, I didn't realise that problem existed. {{{PAGENAMEE}}} will insert an underscore instead of a space in multi-word page names, so I changed it to that and it should work now. Although I think they have turned on the extra tabs for everyone now, so you should already have some tabs at the top that say "gallery", "orphans", "untagged"... right? :) pfctdayelise (translate?) 02:49, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks works now, and yes the new tags were just turned on. =) /Lokal Profil 12:24, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Reform
[edit]OK, with our WelcomeBot implemented, I really want to reform this to maximise its usefulness and relevance. What do n00bs not know? Licensing, deletion guidelines, must categorise. They seem to be the three things I notice the most. With the welcome log (see previous link) implemented, we can start to analyse what newbies seem to know, what they need to know, and what they don't. So I'm just warning y'all... I plan to make some big changes to this template if necessary. pfctdayelise (translate?) 17:13, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Add ...
[edit]\"and indicate your Graphics abilities\" Yug (talk) 18:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm confused. "Precise" is not a verb. pfctdayelise (translate?) 01:55, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- I think Yug meant "préciser vos compétences graphiques" which I'd translate as "indicate your graphical abilities/ your image-editing abilities"/, préciser meaning to indicate exactly. But I'm translating from one not-native language to another, so I might be wrong. NielsF 01:59, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I mean "Indicate". Thanks for the help, I did a mistake of translation. >.O Yug (talk) 19:37, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Line breaks at the end break signatures
[edit]Could someone remove the extra linebreaks from the end of this template? They cause {{welcome}} ~~~~
to be rendered as the template ending with a line break, with the following line containing the signature preceded by a space, which causes the signature to be rendered in monotype in a grey box.

Intergrate a fair use warning

soviet coat of arms of soviet union 1946
[edit]Hello, could you please realiser the embleme of the union sovietique of 1946 with the finoise language(tongue) besides the derniere version thanking you in advance good day thank you
Third version (1946-1956)
The state coat of arms of the Soviet Union, between 1946 and 1956The number of republics in the USSR became 16 shortly before the Great Patriotic War, but the coat of arms was changed to reflect this only after the war. By a Decision of Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of June 26, 1946, all 16 constituent republics were represented on the coat of arms. The USSR State Motto was inscribed on 16 ribbons in 16 languages (Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Moldavian, Finnish languages were added to the previous version). Inscriptions in Azerbaijani, Turkmen, Uzbek, Tajik, Kazakh, Kyrgyz languages were updated due to the transfer from the Latin alphabet to Cyrillic alphabet of respective republics. thank you --Dunkerqueenflandre (talk) 10:14, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
Link to "Image" page

Autotranslate this one
[edit]Maybe it's time we should autotranslate this template too. Any objections? Multichill (talk) 01:03, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit]The first line currently reads, "Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, !". The exclamation point directly after the comma is grammatically incorrect, unless I'm missing something. –Juliancolton | Talk 04:36, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- When the template is included in a user page, it reads "Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, username!". At least it should, have you seen a case where it didn't? --rimshottalk 06:07, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- See User talk:Cynwolfe for an example. –Juliancolton | Talk 15:07, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- That's weird. My interface language is Portuguese, and viewing this template the username (in this case, the page name, that is, "Welcome") does show up. However, if I try http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Welcome?uselang=en, the page title doesn't appear between the comma and the exclamation point... I have no idea what could be causing this, but I'm guessing the error must be in {{Welcome/en}} or {{Autotranslate}}. --Waldir talk 16:10, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- Portuguese uses {{PAGENAME}} for the name, while English and German, which both don't work, use {{{1|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}}. Someone more familiar with the wiki syntax might find out why this doesn't work. --rimshottalk 16:23, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, that helped to trim down the error. It stems from the fact that when you specify a parameter, even if you don't pass any value to it, it is considered as a variable that has been set, so the {{{1|}}} construct in the English and German versions doesn't use the part to the right of the pipe, which is reserved for the default value, when the parameter is not passed. A workaround is to use the {{#if:}} function, as in:
- Portuguese uses {{PAGENAME}} for the name, while English and German, which both don't work, use {{{1|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}}. Someone more familiar with the wiki syntax might find out why this doesn't work. --rimshottalk 16:23, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

- {{#if:{{{1|}}}
- |{{Autotranslate|{{{1}}}|base=Welcome}}
- |{{Autotranslate|base=Welcome}}
- }}
- That returns false if the parameter {{{1}}} is an empty string, even if it has been set. This would fix the template, but someone more savvy might be able to simplify or minimize the above markup (or both). Meanwhile, I'll check whether there's a bug report in MediaWiki to make the construct behave like this and second it, as it would greatly simplify many templates. --Waldir talk 17:20, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- Update: I added a comment to bug 4708. --Waldir talk 17:39, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- I fixed it for en:, de:, and some others. Many of the languages don't use autotranslate at all so far, they should be updated. --Slomox (talk) 18:41, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

- This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the contents of the template {{Welcome}}. If you can identify the message that gave you the impression that this page would be the appropriate place for your question, so that we can clarify that message, it would be helpful. A more appropriate venue would have been Commons:Help desk.
- You can upload pictures and other media to Commons by following the instructions in the first steps guide. There is no prize for uploading content to Commons in general, but there are often one or more photo challenges, picture of the year contests and "Wiki Loves" contests going on, each of which will have individual rules and in some cases prizes; see the specific challenge or contest pages for details. —LX (talk, contribs) 16:10, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

I noticed that this template is missing alot of Special:MyLanguage. Could an administrator add them where appropriate? --Sabelöga (talk) 20:37, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Sabelöga: I'd appreciate if you could help me locate these links. I can figure out a few. ─ The Aafī (talk) 12:47, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Honestly, I wrote this 3 years ago and I can't really remember my reasoning. This might've been resolved since then. Sabelöga (talk) 22:51, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Closing as stale then. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 00:26, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

How do I get back to talk page
[edit]How do I get back to talk page TRice65 (talk) 02:35, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
- Your own talk page can be found at the link Talk at the very top of the screen, the talk pages of any other pages at the tab Discussion above the content. This page here is the talk page of the welcome template, not a page were discussion usually happens. --rimshottalk 20:31, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
Norwegian translation
[edit]{{Edit request}} The norwegian translation exists: Template:Welcome/i18n/nb, but when clicking on "Norsk" on the template, it sends you to a deleted page: Template:Welcome/i18n/no. Is it alright if I link it to the correct one? It would only be a one letter change. Dylan | ✉ | ✓ 16:41, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, except that – as you have already noticed – Template:Welcome/i18n/lang is protected, so you personally cannot change it (nor can I). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 00:29, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Magog the Ogre can you please do this? I don't understand how to use the module here. —Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
Use the move link
[edit]I think that the „link” word should be linked too, to disambugate the target of the link for the readers. Hári Zalán (talk) 13:14, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Hári Zalán: I just came across this. Do you mean it should appear this way: move link or else? ─ The Aafī (talk) 22:11, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- @TheAafi: Yes, exactly, thank you. Hári Zalán (talk) 05:30, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Done ─ The Aafī (talk) 08:56, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
Image
[edit]{{Edit request}} The current bottom-left image (Gnome-edit-delete.svg) doesn't work (because it can't be found at /v1/AUTH_mw/wikipedia-commons-local-public.96/9/96/Gnome-edit-delete.svg), so it should be replaced.
I suggest we replace it with an image that was used before for this, such as Nuvola gnome-fs-trash-full.svg (picked from above discussion). — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 17:02, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
