Feature summary:
From https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NewUserMessage
The NewUserMessage extension adds a message to the talk pages of newly created wiki accounts.
Usually after a new user registers on a wiki powered by MediaWiki, the message in MediaWiki:Welcomecreation is displayed. This extension allows a message in a specified template to be added into the new user's talk page instead.
It seems to be quite a simple, straightforward extension.
Use case(s)
This might be particularly useful for smaller third-party wikis, who have a low user base, and people to "welcome" new users.
Might be considered for migration into core at some point, but let's get it bundled first.
