Usage
editPlace
{{subst:joinus|~~~~}}
on the user's discussion page (not the user page itself). Use 1=~~~~ if your signature has styles applied to it.
A short personal note is always nice. You can include it in the template:
{{subst:joinus|Your note here. --~~~~}}
This will append the note to the standard salutation.
Escaping
editIf placed on a page outside the "User talk" namespace, it will produce:
![]() | This template must only be used on user discussion pages. |
To place this on pages in other namespaces (such as Wikibooks:Templates/User messages) set the "force" variable to whatever the namespace is:
{{joinus|force=Template}}
