[[File:Welcoming party.png|right|thumb|''Welcome!'']]
Hi, Ch3182! Welcome, and thanks for joining {{SITENAME}}!
*'''The [[NetHackWiki:How to help|How to help]]''' and '''[[NetHackWiki:Style guide|Style guide]]''' pages are excellent starting points.
*'''[[Special:RecentChanges]]''' is a great first stop, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.
*'''Questions? Need help?''' You can ask at the [[NetHackWiki:Community Portal|Community Portal]], the [[Forum:Watercooler|forum]], or on the [[Help:Talk page|discussion page]] associated with each article! Just remember to sign those posts with four tildes: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. That will expand to create a signature.

You can put <nowiki>{{NAOplayer|</nowiki>''NAO player account''<nowiki>}}</nowiki> on [[User:Ch3182|your user page]] to link to your [[NAO]] player account. Capitalization matters.

We are really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!

''This is an automated greeting.''

	Editing the version number in {{tl\|upcoming}} isn't a useful change to articles. Now that NetHack 5.0.0 is released, we need to update the wiki to contain information about the new version – but just editing {{tl\|upcoming}} doesn't do that (in fact, it just causes confusion because 5.0.0 isn't an upcoming version). The correct way to fix the article is to rewrite the whole article (except the "History" section) to be based on the new version of the game (and update the "History" section to explain how the older versions were different). That can't be done just using the existing version of the page; it would need to be done by someone who knows the all the relevant mechanics of the new version so that the new page can be based on them (including ones that weren't previously noted on the page). See [[Template:Upcoming]] for information on the process for updating a page for a new version.
