Help:Growth/Mentorship/Workshops or Campaigns organizers/cs

Kontext
Growth nabízí nástroje, k uvítání a udržení nových zájemců ochotných spolupracovat v rámci Wikipedií. Jedním z těchto nástrojů je systém mentorství. This feature allows experienced users to welcome, monitor and help newcomers. Newcomers get a mentor assigned to them upon account creation, they can ask any question to their mentor.

These features are useful for Workshops or Campaigns organizers, by assigning a mentor who is part of the event to each participant. This mentor will assist their mentee during the event, but will also be available between sessions, or after the event.

Setup mentorship for an event
Growth mentorship features have to be activated on the concerned Wikipedia. Please note that some wikis have a mentorship system that is not provided by Growth. These wikis have to setup Growth mentorship first.

If Mentorship is not yet activated, you have to create a list of mentors.

If Mentorship is already activated, workshop hosts can add themselves as mentors by visiting. Some local rules may apply. By default, users with more than 30 days of tenure and more than 500 edits at the local wiki can signup.

Being a mentor only for events attendees
Any mentor listed can be assigned to any new account. However, some event mentors would prefer to only have event participants assigned to them.

To do so, you can go to  and select "" in the "" menu.

No new mentee will be assigned to you, but you can still claim mentees.

Please note: this feature has been implemented for workshop hosts or campaigns organizers first. We expect regular mentors not to use it, as it would change the number of mentors assigned to mentees.

Custom account creation link
The Growth team provides a way for organizers to create a custom link to register to Wikipedia. This link is populated with designated mentors so that newcomers will be given a mentor who participates to the event.

This process uses. See the example below:

The newcomer who create their account from this URL will have either Trizek or Martin_Urbanec as their mentor.

Use a vertical bar sign to separate mentors' usernames.

If a username has a space in it, you have to use an underscore sign to replace the space in the URL.

(It's also possible to customize the account creation landing page, although currently the process is somewhat complicated and the documentation is developer-oriented.)

Assign a mentor to an existing account
If an attendee already has an account, a mentor can claim them.

Monitoring
Mentors can monitor their mentees' activity using the Mentor dashboard.
