Functions:{{Welcome}} is listed at Commons:Message_templates#Help as a template that should be substituted when using. Currently it is unsubstituted on about 5,500 user talk pages. My bot would substitute it on each user talk page where it is currently not substituted. My bot has performed this task at en.wiki for several months now and is flagged there. As this will be an AWB bot, any user will be able to shut it off by editing its talk page.

- Sure, how many edits would you like me to make? Should I make them on the bot account or my primary account? MBisanz talk 14:45, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- Your bot account, please. As many as you feel appropriate, just without flooding RC, but at least 50 or so would be good. Patrícia msg 14:35, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Okey, I'll do a 50 edit test this afternoon, thank you. MBisanz talk 15:53, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
