The welcome message new users receive when they first make an edit on the wiki has been updated to a fancy new box full of useful information. Example below.

One important thing to note is that the actual page the user edited is not included in the message. This was done on purpose, as I noticed a slight problem while browsing the Wanted Pages list. In the past a lot of new users would come on to the wiki and created new page (either because it was already listed as wanted, or because they thought it was needed). On their welcome message it would include a link to that particular page. However, if that page is later deleted for whatever reason the link in their welcome message still exists and turns red. Someone else sees the wanted page and creates it again, and so the loop continues. So to fix that little problem at the source, the page a new user edited is no longer mentioned in their welcome message.

The remaining red links on user pages will be removed over time to keep the Wanted Pages list as accurate as possible. Help in this area is always appreciated.
