Template:Welcomeback
First steps tutorialWelcome back to Wikibooks and our ongoing collaborative development of free textbooks.
You may recall that you do not need technical skills to contribute. You can easily change most books. Please introduce yourself, and let us know what interests you.
As you may have previously contributed, a review of our Wikimedia Orientation should quickly get you re-oriented.
Getting help- You may wish to re-read the Using Wikibooks book for a friendly re-introduction to the project, or our help pages for more information.
- You can get friendly help from the community in the user assistance room or our IRC channel.
- Upload freely licensed files to Wikimedia Commons. You may request permission to upload fair use files locally. Please include author and source {{information}} and a {{non-free use rationale}} for non-free files.
Made a mistake?- You can restore a previously saved version.
- Pages should follow the
Book Title/Chapter Titlenaming convention. - Need to rename a page? Use the move tab (is available once your account is 4 days old - until then, ask for help).
- To request a page be deleted, add
{{delete|your reason}}to the top of the page. - Was a page you made deleted? Please read the deletion policy, and check the deletion log to find out why. Also check the RFD archives if applicable. You can request undeletion at WB:RFU, or ask the administrator who deleted the page.
- Please fill in the edit summary and preview your edits before saving.
- Sign your name on discussion pages by typing ~~~~
- User scripts can make many tasks easier. Look at the Gadgets tab of my preferences; check off the boxes for the scripts you want, and hit save!

Usage
editUse this template for users who have been dormant for an extended period of time and have expressed renewed interest by limited recent activity. Be sure to check the contributions history of such returning users. If they have extensive experience, the templated links may be uneccessary and might be taken to imply that the returning user lacks sophistication or experience. Returning users with extensive experience would be more appropriately greeted with a custom message.
