Thank you for using the help panel and wanting to learn more!

This tool is part of the Growth team's "Focus on help desk" project.

During 2019, the help panel is a new feature that is only available on some Wikipedias, and only available for users that are part of the experiment to find out how useful it is. It works both on desktop browsers and mobile browsers, but is not yet available on the iOS or Android apps.

Purpose of the help panel
The goal of the tool is to:


 * 1) Enable new users to find help pages and how-to guides.
 * 2) Allow new users to ask a question to experienced users if they haven't found what they need in existing help pages.

如何使用
On any page you edit, you will see a blue button in the lower right of the screen labelled "". Click on this button to open the help panel.

The help panel lists some useful help pages. Those help pages should solve many cases concerning editing. Click on one of those links to open that page in a new tab of your browser.

If you can't find the help you need you can have a look at all help contents that exist by clicking on "".

You can also type a search for the answer you need in the bar at the top of the help panel, which will immediately show a list of help pages that could be relevant.

If you still can't find the help you need you can ask a question to an experienced user, using the "" section.

When you submit a question, you are actually editing the Help Desk page by adding your question to it. That page is curated by experienced editors, who volunteer to reply to newcomer questions.

Tips on how to post a good question:


 * Explain what you're trying to do.
 * Describe how you have tried to do it, step by step, and what is blocking you.
 * Say whether you are editing on a desktop or on a mobile device, and what kind of device it is.
 * If you know, mention whether you are editing with the visual editor (graphical editing mode) or with wikitext (text editing mode).
 * If your questions are about a source, include the link to the source.

How to find your reply


 * If you have added an email address to your account and verified your address, you will receive an email when someone replies to your question. To add or verify your email, visit your preferences.
 * You will also see your reply as a notification along the top of your browser:

After receiving your reply, you can continue the conversation by editing the help desk page and adding your message below the reply you received.
