Here is what they would see:

So it looks like if they want to create a page, they can click on their name at the top, and then click edit this page. This is a great idea btw. -MHSstaff 00:50, 10 April 2013 (BST)

Thanks! I'm trying to keep the document short, as to not be intimidating, but do you think custom sigs are "fun" enough to be included, I still need to flesh out the building status update and add in about about other easy to work user page templates and link to the editing help? I would like to make a few of these, to hit more topics (but keep the brevity). I was thinking #2 might be making a custom sig (unless it's in this one), a bit more about the actual coding and some general advice on the community. My goal is give new users some information without making them completely learn the wiki code to get started, a sort of create as you learn. I suspect new users are more likely to hang around if they feel they have more vested in the wiki. --_K 22:53, 10 April 2013 (BST)

For the Building Status update, I recommend checking out the Danger Reports Guide, which gives a pretty comprehensive overview. (I've been directing new users there if they seem interested in the DangerReport system.) I really like how this looks so far; sorry I haven't had time to help out - I might this weekend.
