Willkommen / Welcome

Hello and welcome! It appears that you either do not understand the German language, or only at a basic level. This is a welcome message to introduce you to the German Wikipedia, providing you with links to the important places and departments you may wish to consult and visit.

  • The embassy is perhaps the first place to go. There you can ask questions and get in touch with people who can translate your requests.
  • The German equivalent of the village pump is the Fragen zur Wikipedia (translated as Questions about Wikipedia), which can be used to ask questions and discuss matters of all kinds about Wikipedia. Feel free to ask questions in your preferred language, but questions in English will probably get quicker responses than those asked in less common languages.
  • Frequently-made requests: Request to take over an existing user accountRequest a Bot flag.
  • The Adoption program, which is multilingual, is open to new users who have difficulties with editing.
  • For your userpage: You might want to create your userpage and put Babel boxes on it, so that other editors can know more about the languages you speak. For example: “{{Babel|en|de-0}}” shows that you are a native English speaker, and does not have knowledge of the German language.

Want to help out? The best thing you could do would be to improve our English welcome template, to help more editors like you who don't speak German.
