Documentation[edit]
It will be wise to sign off this template when used, with the four tildes described in the message itself. Users may want to reply back to the message, and ask for clarification, and having a name to reply to makes it easier for them to feel like they're talking to a human being rather than a bot.
Additionally, rather than transcluding the template, for example with {{WelcomeAnonymous}}, use {{subst:WelcomeAnonymous}} instead, which places a permanent copy of the text as-present into the page. This will prevent the text changing and confusing people when users might reply or ask about specific parts, all the while the main template may change significantly in the future.
