Community Conversations
The Growth team will host its first community conversation Tuesday, 4 December (19:00 - 20:30 UTC). The topic for this meeting will be Mentorship.

This first meeting language will be English, but we plan to host conversations in other languages, and about other topics. These conversations will be announced in the next newsletters.

Please visit the conversation page on-wiki for the details on how to join. You can also watch the page, or suggest ideas for upcoming conversations there.

Releases
At the beginning of November 2023, the Growth team has deployed the New Impact Module to all Wikipedias.

We released “add a link” to 35 more Wikipedias (T308142 & T308143). We have a few Wikipedias remaining. German and English Wikipediaq will be contacted at the beginning of January 2024. We also have a few small wikis where the number of articles is too low to have the algorithm working properly.

Work on mentorship
When a mentor marked themselves as "Away", there were not getting their name assigned to new accounts when they returned. This has been fixed. 

We improved the message received by the newcomer when their mentor quits, to reduce confusion. 

We worked on ensuring that all mentees are assigned to an active mentor. This implied reassigning mentees with no mentors to a new mentor. We paused this as it confused some users. We will resume it when the identified blockers will be lift. 

It is now possible to create an Abuse Filter to prevent one user from signing up as a mentor. 

Community Configuration 2.0

 * A basic Community Configuration 2.0 demo is released on ToolForge.

Other improvements

 * We released a change to ensure the Impact module’s “Total edit” count isn’t capped (T338174).
