+New users are automatically welcomed immediately after creating their account through [[MediaWiki:Welcomecreation-msg|this]] system message, so it's no longer necessary to welcome them on their talk page. Because of this, and in order to cut down on the creation of unnecessary talk pages:
-New users are now immediately welcomed through [[MediaWiki:Welcomecreation]] when they create an account, so it's no longer necessary to welcome them on their talk page. However, if you still wish to welcome a new user:
+* The {{tem|welcome}} template has been retired. Do not add it to any more pages.
+* Creating user talk pages for the sole purpose of welcoming new users is prohibited.
-* You may only edit/create a new user's talk page if they have made at least one edit on the wiki.
+That being said, if you have to contact a new user for some other reason, feel free to welcome them with a short custom message included in your correspondence (no transclusions).
-The edit can be in any namespace. This rule exists to prevent us from having thousands of user talk pages for users who never do anything on the wiki.
