Help panel to be deployed on your wiki on
Hello

As part of their experiments to welcome newcomers, the Growth team is going to deploy the Help panel on your wiki.

That experiment will help newcomers to post questions on the Help desk. Those questions will be tagged with.

When you reply:


 * don't forget to check which editor has been used by the newcomer if that information is available on the article (the newcomer may not have publish any edit).
 * Ping the user when you reply. Newcomers may not know how to come back to the Help desk and monitor replies. A notification is the best option to tell them a reply has been posted.

To help you, the community has gathered some advice and best practices on how to reply to newcomers on Help desks. We hope that will help you!

We thank you in advance for the time you will spend on helping newcomers!
