> Please provide a link for community consensus

This was discussed on our monthly meet on last Sunday and previous meet as well. 5-6 community members who are active on both projects agreed for it. However, formal discussion has been started here: http://gu.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%AA%B5%E0%AA%BF%E0%AA%95%E0%AA%BF%E0%AA%AA%E0%AB%80%E0%AA%A1%E0%AA%BF%E0%AA%AF%E0%AA%BE:%E0%AA%9A%E0%AB%8B%E0%AA%A4%E0%AA%B0%E0%AB%8B_%28%E0%AA%85%E0%AA%A8%E0%AB%8D%E0%AA%AF%29#.E0.AA.86.E0.AA.AA.E0.AB.8B.E0.AA.86.E0.AA.AA_.E0.AA.B8.E0.AB.8D.E0.AA.B5.E0.AA.BE.E0.AA.97.E0.AA.A4_.E0.AA.AE.E0.AA.BE.E0.AA.9F.E0.AB.87...

any progress??

What is the latest on this? any timeline for such requests to be completed?

Reedy: Could you take a look at this?

Reedy:any luck in having this installed soon?

Dereckson / Reedy: Could any of you set this up, please?

Taking this bug.

Two questions about the configuration:

- Should auto creation (CentralAuth) trigger a new user message? (yes for the majority of the wikis)

- Should it be a minor edit or a regular one for RC purpose? (yes everywhere, excepted on ar. and incubator.)

Yes please.

Yes for us too.

For signature, please configure it to randomly use one of the two active admins, i.e. Dsvyas & Ashok Modhvadia.

Thank you Dereckson for picking this bug.

Gerrit change #35369

* * *

The signatures, content message, etc. is configurable directly on wiki.

You'll find the configuration reference at the following URL:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NewUserMessage#In-wiki_configuration

Signatures should be added to:
- [[gu:MediaWiki:Newusermessage-signatures]]
- [[gu:wikisource:MediaWiki:Newusermessage-signatures]]

To set the message, this is on the following pages:
- [[gu:MediaWiki:Newusermessage-template]]
- [[gu:wikisource:MediaWiki:Newusermessage-template]]

Content should be something like:
{{સ્વાગત}}

Template won't be subst as long as the following pages stay empty:
- [[gu:MediaWiki:Newusermessage-substitute‎]]
- [[gu:wikisource:MediaWiki:Newusermessage-substitute‎]]

Deployed by Reedy.

I let the bug open until you confirm the extension is well configured on wiki and work well.

Thank you Dereckson for quickly configuring it and installing this long pending extension. Have configured signautures, etc. locally. Awaiting a new user creation to see how this works. Will update here once successful. Thank you Reedy as well for swiftly deploying the commit.

Something looks broken somewhere, as you can see on [[gu:User talk:K7L]] names are not displayed in signature (I have already configured gu:MediaWiki:Newusermessage-signatures) and seems the template is substituted. Have I missed something?

* [[User:Welcoming Bot|Welcoming Bot]]

I looked configuration in other wikis and I see the following elements.

(1) The signatures should be a list following this syntax:

* [[સભ્ય:Dsvyas|Dsvyas]]
* [[સભ્ય:Ashok modhvadia|Ashok modhvadia]]

(2) Template configuration message shouldn't a {{}} call, but the template page:

ઢાંચો:સ્વાગત

(3) Your welcome template looks fine.

Please ignore my first line (* [[User:Welcoming Bot|Welcoming Bot]]), this is the Wikimedia Commons MediaWiki:Newusermessage-signatures content.

Thank you once again Dereckson. I had changed the messages in morning and can now see [[gu:User talk:Stockholmsforskning]] perfectly displaying welcome message. You can close the bug now if you wish to.

You're welcome.
