I’m going to be honest–instead of encountering Lone Rangers, I got sent a cup of tea on my page by a random stranger a few weeks ago and it felt…welcoming. Here’s the code to share the same:

“Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a tea, especially if it is someone you have had disagreements with in the past or someone putting up with some stick at this time. Enjoy! Spread the lovely, warm, refreshing goodness of tea by adding {{subst:wikitea}} to their talk page with a friendly message.”

This site loks really inviting, and seems to have the potential to make learning the ropes a looked for experience.

I checked out the site and it is definitely more “friendly” looking than the “wild west” of the article talk pages! I also noticed our friend Banaticus is one of the “hosts” (there only seem to be a few?) but they give little bios which is also nice. The “teahouse” seems to be a recognition on the part of Wikipedia that it needs to cultivate new editors in a more nurturing environment.
