welcom.py is not localized for gomwiki. @The_Discoverer: Could you please have a look at welcome.py netext dict and probably the others too. What is the right message to be written on new users talk page?

The message that should be written for gomwiki is '{{subst:welcome}} %s' (the same as the English Wikipedia).

Some background: There was a bot on the Konkani Wikipedia using the ID User:New user message that placed the template Welcome on the talk pages of new users.

Extension:NewUserMessage was the system that provided the automatic welcomes instead of a bot, But was disabled due to not working with Flow, Looks like its been forgotten about since 2018 T131957: NewUserMessage should handle Flow properly; affects gomwiki/Konkani Wikipedia and kabwiki

Thanks @Xqt. Will welcome.py work with Flow user pages? All user talk pages in the Konkani Wiktionary are in Flow.

@The_Discoverer: I am not sure, can you verify it?

@Xqt , I will set a bot up and report here.

@Xqt, it appears that welcome.py is not working with Flow user talk pages. I set up a bot (tool discobot on ToolForge, User:DiskoBot). When User:DiskoBot made its first edit on the Konkani Wikipedia, welcome.py seems to have done nothing.
