Growth/Communities/How to configure the mentors' list/pt-br

You are interested in becoming a mentor? Thank you!

Please check our resources about and then introduce yourself as a mentor.

Presentation on the Homepage
The is designed to help newcomers on their first steps on Wikipedia. The Homepage will randomly assign your name to a newcomer: you will be their mentor.

On the Homepage, there is a space that allows you to introduce yourself to those newcomers. By default, the presentation is: "".

Please shortly introduce yourself: 240 characters max. That limitation is set to avoid lengthy text that would overload the information already visible on the Homepage. Wikitext will not be rendered for the same reasons. To know more about you, newcomers can visit your user page, linked from the Homepage.

Your username will already be displayed on the Homepage. No need to remind newcomers who you are in your presentation.

Examples
(Due to translations, the examples below may exceed the 240 characters limit.)

You can introduce yourself with something very neutral:


 * "I am here to help you navigate Wikipedia, please feel free to ask!"

You have enough experience to reply to any question. Don't let people think you can only help them with something specific.
 * Don't write "I edit articles about football." Newcomers may think that they can't ask you about anything else than football.
 * Prefer to write: "I'm mostly contributing to football-related topics, but I can help you with any other topic, as far as I can."

You can invite people to contact you:


 * "I can help you with your questions about editing Wikipedia. I'm mostly contributing to football-related topics. What would be your area of contributions?"
 * "I was as confused as you are now. But asking questions to experienced users helped me. Please feel free to ask me any question!"
