Script error: No such module "Shortcut". Below are some sample greetings that you can cut-and-paste onto new users' talk pages. Replace any $VARIABLES with the correct text. Be sure to place greetings on each user's talk page, and not the user's user page, so that the user will get the "You have new messages" alert notice.

One can also use templates for the same purpose.
