Willkommen / Welcome

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

• 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 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 the quicker responses than those asked in less-common languages.
• Frequently-made requests: Request to usurp existing user accounts • Request a Bot flag.
• The multilingual Adopt-a-user program also welcomes your participation.
• For your user page: You might want to create your user page and put some babel boxes on it, therefore everyone could know what languages you speak. For example: “{{Babel|en|de-0}}” shows that you are a native English speaker, but do not understand German at all.

Want to help? The simplest thing you could do is to improve this template (translate, fix errors, etc.), to help more contributors who do not speak German.

Once again, welcome! -- sj 10:42, 29. Sep. 2016 (CEST)
