Adding Teahouse to the list of links on Template:Welcome-cookie[edit]

I just was sending the cookie welcome to someone (as its my preferred one) and noticed there's no link to WP:Teahouse. Can that be added? I dont want to change anything without checking here first Soni (talk) 04:14, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Changes for the committee[edit]

This aim "welcoming committee members welcome new users who have already made constructive edits and help them get started in various ways. There are no requirements for joining us except a good attitude and a willingness to help newcomers get started on Wikipedia" seems to be unfair for some reasons. Here on Wikipedia, civility and help should remain the highest priority to keep maintaining the pedia. I believe every newbie should be welcomed. Reason: it will serve as an evidence that the editor was welcomed with links to know how where he/she enters is like. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 18:01, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
