I think it would help the greetings feel a little more personal if they included in some instances the number of years since an editor joined/gained adminship/etc. Would there be a way to facilitate that automatically with the tools you use? {{u| Sdkb}} talk 22:15, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi, the current welcome template suggests users to go to the bulletin board for announcements. The page hasn't been used since 2008. Perhaps it could be marked as {{ historical}} and members could be linked here? 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 00:09, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
I was thinking about going though and purging some inactive users, as I've seen some that've been inactive for 2 years, possibly more. Any objections? -- Isro! chatter 16:52, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
Just to note, I'm also adding adminship years to admin birthdays, as it's listed as a rule, and will be helpful for the new admin b-day template. -- Isro! chatter 20:01, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
January's done! Onto Feb. -- Isro! chatter 18:59, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for the adminship anniversary messages, but I don't need two on the day and another the day after. One message on behalf of the committee is plenty. Thryduulf ( talk) 17:02, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
"More than one person from the committee may send messages to the same person and belated greetings are ok toobut we can revisit that since you're the only editor out of hundreds that seemed to have a problem of this nature. Chris Troutman ( talk) 18:35, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
I have noticed that this too-many-messages thing is currently happening at User talk:Redrose64 ( permalink). That editor hasn't said anything about the repeating messages, but surely one is enough.
How can I unsubscribe so that the committee don't send me any of these kinds of messages?

Several places tell me that I can add my WikiBirthday to the calendar ... but they give no indication of HOW to do that. Clicking on today on that calendar displays a list of today's events - but again, no clue how that gets generated or how to update it. How can an editor add their first edit date (or actual birthday) to the system? Gronk Oz ( talk) 02:27, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
