Help:Growth/Tools/Account creation

You plan to join Wikipedia by creating an account. This account will provide you access to more tools than when you read Wikipedia.

This page explains the different steps and the tools you will have access to just after you create your account.

Step 1: A welcome survey
This survey is used to know the motivations when creating an account. It is a way for communities to know the reasons why readers create an account. This way, help ressources can be adjusted for newcomers, and community projects can be created to welcome newcomers.

After creating their account, you will see a popup (and some other notifications) encouraging you to visit your homepage. Please follow these links!

Step 2: Your homepage
Welcome to your base-camp!

The newcomer homepage is accessible by visiting special:Homepage at Wikipedia. It is your page, only you have access to the informations there.

What is on the homepage ?
The homepage is divided into several modules.

You have questions ?
Please have a look at our most frequently asked questions.

You can also contact the project team to suggest improvements or if you have questions regarding the tools.
