Contributors and navigation bars in table form

I have tested a bot for these to re-implement them in a template form. If there are no objections I'll proceed with conversion --Vadim 11:56, 9 March 2016 (GMT)

Are these templates different from what we have been installing recently? If these are different can we see an example of them?--Istioploos 13:34, 9 March 2016 (GMT)

The templates are the same. See, for example, Evros Lakki Marina for changes --Vadim 13:54, 9 March 2016 (GMT)

I did see them yesterday. They are very good. No objections from me. --Istioploos 15:26, 9 March 2016 (GMT)

As there are no any other comments, I'm launching the bot --Vadim 13:53, 10 March 2016 (GMT)

Your Assistance Template

This is a good change and removes the unsightly addition to the TOC. Bravo! --Istioploos 13:41, 9 March 2016 (GMT)

You're welcome! --Vadim 13:56, 9 March 2016 (GMT)

Welcome email

Dear {{{Name}}}
Welcome to CruisersWiki! We look forward to your valued contributions to the Cruising Wiki to help it grow as a useful, free resource for cruisers around the world. Now you are registered, you can set your personal preferences in "My Preferences" (link at top R/H of page when logged in). You can now also edit pages on the Wiki or, if you prefer, simply add your comments using the 'Comments' tab of the pages you visit. Please add what you can - even correcting grammar and spelling errors in articles is a great help. Even if you do not contribute to a page, if the information is correct please add your user name and date under "Last Visited & Details Checked".

Spend a little time reading the Style Guide and the Wiki Editor's Guide if you wish to gain a better understanding of the Wiki formatting and how to edit or create pages. It is easy to see if you are going wrong, since you cannot save your changes to a page without previewing them first. Finally, please read the Cruiserswiki Copyrights notice, as well as the General Disclaimers (links at bottom of pages) before starting to edit. 

We hope that you will contribute in any area where you have cruised. If you need any assistance, do not hesitate to contact me by either making an entry into my talk page <http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/User_talk:{{{Me}}}>or e-mailing me <http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/User:{{{Me}}}>.

On behalf of the Wiki Administrators, may I welcome you again to the World Cruising Wiki and look forward to your future contributions to the project.

Template:Page usable

This is a usable page of the cruising guide. However, please contribute if you can to help it grow further. Click on Comments to add your personal notes on this page or to discuss its contents. Alternatively, if you feel confident to edit this page, click on the edit tab at the top and enter your changes directly.

Template:Page outline

This page has an outline in place but it needs completing. Please contribute if you can to help it grow further. Click on Comments to suggest further content or alternatively, if you feel confident to edit this page, click on the edit tab at the top and enter your changes directly.

I like all these proposed changes. Still not clear though where the "Welcome email" resides, does anyone know? --Istioploos 12:37, 10 March 2016 (GMT)

I found them at [1], but I'm not sure that the WelcomeNewUser is the current default. I'll sign myself up with a new ID and see which one I receive. --Athene of Lymington 14:15, 10 March 2016 (GMT)

Below is the one I received. Doesn't seem to bear much relation to either the Welcome or WelcomeNewUser templates! Shame, because I particularly liked your addition of the mentoring offer in WelcomeNewUser. --Athene test 14:30, 10 March 2016 (GMT)

Welcome to CruisersWiki!

We all look forward to your valued contributions to the Cruising Wiki to help it grow as a useful, free resource for all cruisers around the world. Now you are registered, you can set your personal preferences in "My Preferences" (link at top R/H of page when logged in).

Spend a little time reading the Wiki Help and the Style Guide to gain a better understanding of the Wiki formatting and how to edit articles. Also, please read the Cruiserswiki Copyrights notice, as well as the General Disclaimers (links at bottom of pages) before starting to edit. Then, do add what you can - even correcting grammar and spelling errors in articles is a great help - but do not use the Rich Editor to do so, since there is a problem with it at present. It is easy to see if you are going wrong, since you cannot save your changes to a page without previewing them first.

Use any page's "Discussion" tab (top of page's menu) to ask any questions or make any suggestions about that particular page.

Finally, please note that massive changes by a new editor are liable to be considered spam and the editor will be blocked. Please concentrate on editing pages of the places that you have actually visited. Also please avoid using the "Rich Editor", it does not work well and creates problems.

Again, welcome and have fun! Bring out that hidden "Cruising Guide writer" in you. Athene of Lymington 14:19, 10 March 2016 (GMT)
