Template:Welcome-LLM
Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions!
You may have used a large language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, in your edits. While using LLMs can be very useful, machine-generated text—much like human-created text—can contain errors or flaws, or be outright useless (see WP:LLM). Specifically, asking an LLM to "write a Wikipedia article" can sometimes cause the output to be outright fabrication, complete with fictitious references. It may be biased, may libel living people, or violate copyrights. Thus, editors should verify all LLM-generated text before using it in an article. Please prioritize manual contributions and thorough research when editing. If you are unsure about your wording, an alternative is to suggest it on the talk page for another volunteer to look at it. If you are creating a new article, you may find it help to use Articles for Creation process, where you can receive feedback on your work.
