Growth/Communities/How to configure the mentors' list/eu

Mentorea izan nahi duzu? Eskerrik asko!

Mentors are experienced users, ready to help new users. They are a key factor in order to onboard and encourage new users to edit the wikis.

Mesedez, irakur ezazu eta aurkeztu ezazu zure burua mentore gisa.


 * In short
 * In order to become a mentor, please add your name to the list of mentors. It is possible at wikis where a list of mentors exists.
 * If the list doesn't exist, you have to setup the list of mentors at your wiki.



Hasiera orriko aurkezpena
diseinatuta dago hasiberriei Wikipedian lehen pausoak ematen laguntzeko. Hasiera orrialdeak izen bat ausaz eskainiko die iritsi berriei: euren mentore izango zara.

Mentors are randomly assigned to multiple newcomers, but not all of them contact their mentor. On average, a mentor receive between 0 to 6 questions each week from newcomers.



Nola gehitu zure aurkezpena mentoreen zerrendara
Thank you for volunteering to be a mentor! It is a rewarding experience.

Visit the Mentor Dashboard
Some wikis have created a specific page, with the mentor list, but also rules or best practices to follow. You may find your community's page on Wikidata. This list will tell you what are the conditions to be a mentor, if any condition apply. By default, the signup process is opened to editors who have 500 edits and 90 days of presence.

By default, the mentor list for your wiki is located at. There, you can see who is a mentor.

If your wiki has setup the mentorship program, and if you qualify to be a mentor according the the local rules, please visit   to signup.

Add your description
You will be asked to describe yourself, as a mentor. This short description is displayed on the newcomer's homepage. Hasiera orrian, leku bat duzu zure burua hasiberriei aurkezteko. Defektuz, aurkezpena hau da: "".

The description's length is 240 characters maximum. If it is longer, the system will cut the description. Ez gehitu wikitestu, HTML edo CSSri zure deskribapenean: apurtuko da.

Admins can edit your description using.



Adibideak
(Itzulpenak direla eta, adibideetako batzuek 240 karaktere baino gehiago izan ditzateke.)

Zure burua oso modu neutralean aurkez dezakezu:


 * "Hemen nago Wikipedian aritzen laguntzeko, galdetu lasai!"

Esperientzia nahikoa duzu edozein galderari erantzuteko. Hasi berriek ez dezatela pentsa gai baten inguruan baino ez dakizula.
 * Ez ezazu idatzi "futbolari buruzko artikulak editatzen ditut." Hasiberriek pentsatuko dute futbola ez den zerbaiti buruz ezingo dizutela galdetu.
 * Hobeto idazten baduzu:"Batez ere futbolari buruz idazten dut, baina edozein gairekin lagun zaitzaket, ahal dudan neurrian."

Gonbidatu dezazu hasiberria zurekin kontaktatzera:

Mesedez, aurkez ezazu zure burua laburrean: 240 karaktere gehienez. Muga hau ezarri dugu hasiberriek informazio gehiegi izan ez dezaen aldi berean. Wikitestuek ez dute funtzionatuko beste arrazoi batzuk direla eta. Zuri buruz gehiago jakiteko, hasiberriek zure orrialdea bisita dezakete, hasiera orritik lotuta agertuko baitzaie.
 * "Wikipedian aritzeko zure galderekin lagun zaitzaket. Batez ere futbolari buruz idazten dut nik. Zein gairi buruz idatzi nahi duzu zuk?"
 * "Hasiera batean zu orain zauden bezala nengoen. Baina galdetzen badiezu esperientziadun wikilariei laguntza lortuko duzu. Zuk ere lasai galdetu dezakezu!"

Zure erabiltzaile izena hasiera orrialdean agertuko da. Ez da beharrezkoa hasiberriei gogoraraztea nor zaren zure burua aurkezten duzunean.

Welcome templates
Communities can create or edit their welcome templates, using the magic word. This magic word will display the newcomers' mentor's name. This way, you can sign the welcome message with the mentor's name to have a coherent onboarding process. If the mentor changes, then the magic word picks the new mentor's name.

There might be a welcome template specifically made for mentors to give to their mentees to help with the introduction process. For example, the English Wikipedia has.

You are ready
After you signed-up, the system will start assigning you new mentees. Regularly visit  to keep an eye to the newcomers assigned to you. Newcomers will also start contacting you directly on your talk page. Don't forget to mention them when you reply to their messages. Please also check our documentation on how to interact with newcomers.

1. Agree on having mentorship
First, you need to check if the Growth tools are deployed at your wiki. If it is not yet the case, please see how to get the features.

Then, you have to find some other mentors to volunteer.

We encourage you to start a conversation at the relevant places at your wiki, in order to decide if this mentor list should be created. This is also a good way to recruit mentors. The Growth mentorship system can replace or complement an existing mentoring system.

Based on our observation, we advise to have one mentor for each group of 500 new users your wiki gets per month. For instance, if your wiki has 2,500 new accounts per month, your should have at least 5 mentors. We recommend to have at least 3 mentors.

2. Activate mentorship
At your wiki, an interface admin has to turn on the mentorship system, using the configuration page.

3. The list of mentors
The list of mentors will be displayed on.

You can transclude the list of mentors anywhere, with the following syntax:.

If you decide to create a page where you transclude the list of mentors, please list it on Wikidata.

At the configuration page, you add some criteria to define who can be a mentor. By default, the requirements are more than 500 edits made and an account that is at least 90 days-old.

Your community can also define some specific rules on who can be a mentor (age of the account, how many edits made, number of edits made on main space, having a specific role, etc.), and then give the mentor role to any account. If you want to use this process, please contact us.

4. Mentors can now signup
In order to become a mentor, please add your name to the list of mentors.
