Help:Growth/Mentorship

The features offer a mentorship concept. This concept is used by various features the Growth team maintains, namely the Newcomer homepage (which offers a mentorship module to newcomers; they can use it to ask questions) and at some wikis, the help panel.

This page summarizes various features relevant to mentorship, as introduced by Growth features.

Enrolling as a mentor
Each project has its own list of mentors. You can find the list of mentors for your project on Wikidata.

For more information on how to enroll, please see.

Claiming a mentee
Several communities have their own wiki courses or in-person mentorship activites. To let them claim newcomers they know in person, a claim mentee feature was enabled. The feature is available to all mentors by default, plus for a list of wiki instructors.

You can learn more details at.

Integrating Growth mentorship with other parts of the project
Several communities already had existing mentorship system. It is now possible to integrate them with the mentorship module provided by the Growth features. This is possible using the magic word, which provides mentor's username for any given user.

For more information about usage, please see.

Mentorship for Workshops or Campaigns organizers
Growth Mentorship allows Workshops or Campaigns organizers to assign a mentor to each participant. This mentor will assist their mentee during the event, but will also be available between sessions, or after the event.

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

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