Yes, we looked at all the wikis trying the tool. A couple had a few newbies using it, but even then most didn't follow-up after choosing an advisor.

The Welcome messages and other controls are. Most are on the default, and some (the ones without "wall" in them) are for wikis using talk pages rather than walls). The only one you really need to change is Mediawiki:welcome-message-wall-user.

Another experment we tried was changing the default for that message to be much smaller. We found that a version with just a few lines, and four links, got a lot better use than longer and shorter ones (the shortest is still the default, that will change soon). You might want to take that into account when you redesign 🙂

Let me know if you need any help!
