Help:Growth/Community configuration



In 2021, the team released Community configuration, a project allowing wiki administrators to customize certain aspects of the Growth features.

Community configuration can be accessed via Special:EditGrowthConfig. The special page can be opened by any user to view configuration of the Growth features, but only administrators can also change the configuration (see English Wikipedia's configuration form as an example).

The special page consists of several section, each allowing administrators to customize a certain subset of the features.

Newcomer homepage
In the "Newcomer homepage" section, administrators can set two links that appear in. The links appearing in this section are mandatory.

Mentorship
In the "Mentorship" section, administrators can customize how mentorship of new features will happen. There are three different options:


 * Are mentorship features enabled? : By switching this option to "No", administrators can fully disable mentorship. Default value is "Yes" (to enable mentorship)
 * Page containing list of mentors to be automatically assigned to newcomers : The name of a list of mentors that will be automatically assigned to new users (mentees).
 * Page containing list of mentors that can only be assigned manually : The name of a list of mentors that will not be automatically assigned to new users. Users listed in this list will be able to use  and  features.
