==Welcome for new editors using VE==

Hi, I would like to create a VE version of [[Template:Welcome training]], draft created at [[User:WereSpielChequers/Welcome Training (VE)]] any assistance gratefully received.

:[[User:Evolution and evolvability]] did some good work on help pages for newcomers a while ago. If [[User:WereSpielChequers|you're]] still working on this, you might ask for his advice.

::Thanks WhatAmIdoing, yes {{u|Evolution and evolvability}} any help you can give would be appreciated. I suspect I need to make both welcomes "switchable" between V/E and classic editor. I was helping at a training session a couple of weeks ago, and though the trainer was promoting V/E, there was at least one lady present who preferred the classic editor as similar to html.

:::{{re|WereSpielChequers}} Hi, apologies for the delay (I marked this as read but forgot tot actually reply!). I'm happy to help out. I'll take a look at [[User:WereSpielChequers/Welcome_Training_(VE)|your draft]] this weekend and do a bit of editing. I was genuinely shocked looking at the [[wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome templates|list of welcome templates]] that nothing already exists!

::::Thanks T. Shaffee, to be fair, most welcomes are basically walls of text re policy and as far as they work they are as good for V/E editors as classic editors. But the training template is designed to give newbies some uncontentious things to do, steer them into areas where they can make their first edits with minimal risk of contention.
