There's no way the average poster is reading it. If you're going to add more links, you'll have to make the message a lot more concise first.

Somewhat related, it's also pretty ridiculous that users aren't allowed to get rid of the welcome message after they've read it on their own talk page. The current message is:

Hi, welcome to Creepypasta Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the '''Thread:285078#7|What Links Do New People Need? (Re-Writing the Welcome Message)''' page.

Please be sure to check out all the Site Rules, as it is important to follow them. Failure to abide by them may result in your account being blocked.

Read some new pastas by checking out the article index or browse by topic by checking out the Genre Listing.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything!

IT'S SO LONG.
