My name shouldn't be used for welcome messages here... it's supposed to use the name of a recently active admin.

The problem is a mistake on MediaWiki:Welcome-user. That's supposed to control the names used, it's not where the actual message goes. I've changed it back to @latest - which signs as an admin, unless none are active (when it signs as staff)

There's more on this at Help:Welcome, and the list of pages for controlling the feature is

I hope that helps!
