[OSM-talk] Wiki Special:Log/newusers

It is common practice in many Wikis to write a welcome message on a
new user's "talk" page. In fact many Wikis have people who do nothing
else than greet new users and have a race between them who greets
first ;-)

I think that's a bit over the top, but still it seems to be customary,
and it doesn't involve sending messages, and only affects those
creating a new Wiki account (as opposed to a new OSM account).

Bye
Frederik
