Help:Growth/Tools/How to claim a mentee



Since January 2020, it is possible to claim a mentee via Special:ClaimMentee. Previously, the mentor was automatically assigned from the list of available mentors that was configured for the wiki. This special page is available only to users listed at the mentors list.

This can be useful for people who know a newbie off-wiki or for wiki instructors who want to mentor all their participants.

The interface will succeed even in cases the user didn't have any mentor set previously, but keep in mind it will not enable the homepage for the users. If you're a wiki instructor and want to have homepage enabled, you need to ask them to enable the homepage in Special:Preferences.
