About this page
''' What is the purpose of this page? '''

This page aims to explain to experienced users what Newcomers tasks are. It documents the instructions displayed to newcomers when they work on Newcomer Tasks. It also provides some context to experienced users who notice these tasks in History pages, or in their Recent Changes or their Watchlist.

''' What are Newcomer tasks? '''

Newcomer tasks are small and actionable edits that are suggested to newcomers. These tasks improve new editor participation and retention (see the results of "Add a link" experiment). Please check the FAQ section for more information about this feature.

''' Where are these tasks? '''

Newcomers tasks are suggested at the Newcomers' Homepage. This Homepage is automatically available for all new accounts created on Wikipedia, both on desktop and mobile Web. It is not available on Android and iOS apps. For other accounts, check how to enable the Homepage. At the Newcomers' Homepage, newcomers are offered a set of articles they can improve. They can select which of the Newcomers tasks types they want to work on. They can also customize the articles suggested by selecting topics that interest them. For each task, onboarding instructions provide guidance and teach some of the basics needed for a new editor to be successful.

''' Are all these tasks available at my wiki? '''

This page lists all existing newcomers tasks. Some of these tasks may not be available at your wiki. Check the Deployment table to know which tasks are available where. Newcomer tasks are configurable by communities by visiting  locally.

''' Why is this page partially translated? '''

This point is not necessary true for all languages. Several sentences on this page are translations of the interface displayed to newcomers. If you see part of the text in English, you can help with translations. Translate Growth features on Translatewiki.net (it requires a different account than your Wikimedia one). Translations take up to one week to be applied. Translate
