The page Mediawiki:Welcome-message-wall-user is copied onto the message walls of every new user on this wiki. The MediaWiki software allows the user some freedom in coding, and attempt to correct any errors the user makes - however, the page as it has existed for many months is so broken that when it's copied to new users' message walls, it literally leaves them broken. For an example, just take a look at my message wall, with the message posted. It's so mangled it's practically unusable!

I cleaned up the code a bit and saved it to my userpage. I would strongly recommend that any administrators around copy the code from my userpage over the page Mediawiki:Welcome-message-wall-user. If you don't, then the message wall of every new user to this site will be broken, and countless hundreds probably already are.

Just to be clear on what my content will look like, click both of these links for a side-by-side comparison: broken, fixed.
