Sure.

Well, the thing is, whenever a new user joins and makes an edit, there is an automatic "Welcome". It's kind of hard to explain. Really, the admins don't actually go to that users message wall and type out the message. It's just an automatic process the wiki does.

In that welcome message, it says the same thing except for the users name and what they edited. That is controlled by the template  What that template does is it displays the username of the user viewing the page.

If the user is not logged in, then the template will display. You can control this by adding a parameter to the template with a value of the default text. For example, outputs "foo" if the user is not logged in.

That's why your name appears. To simplify that, however you're logged in, if there's the Username template, it will say your username, despite if it's on another person's message wall.

Hope that cleared things up. Tell me if you're still confused though.
