status-completed (something equivalent, anyway)
I see a couple of comments here suggesting that Benjol is thinking of making the Welcome message configurable.
This is a formal request for that feature.
On Skeptics.SE, we have a meta-post which is a Welcome to New Users FAQ, and explains some of the ways Skeptics.SE differs from other Stack Exchanges. I have experimentally forked this code, just to make the Welcome message include a link to this meta-post.
Unfortunately, my JavaScript skills are too dodgy to make it customisable and offer it back to you as a patch. (The customisation strikes me as particularly tricky for the troublesome few that moderate multiple Stack Exchanges.)

Suggested presentation:
This is only a suggestion - incorporate it into the existing options file. It is a bit ugly, but I think better than having a whole separate config system.
~~~ This is comment text. This line represents the default.
Welcome, my dearest new friend, to $SITENAME.
~~~[skeptics] Using the same 'restriction' notations as [Q] and [A], this overrides the default for one site.
[Welcome to Skeptics](http://meta.skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/1505/welcome-to-new-users)!
An alternative would be to put it all on one line, but then the [qualifier] notation would conflict with the [link]() notation.
