User:Trizek (WMF)/sandbox/Growth message

I'm Trizek (WMF). I work as a community relations specialist for the Wikimedia Foundation, and in particular with the Growth team.

Your wiki is very active in welcoming and helping newcomers on your wiki: [LIST OF TOOLS/INITIATIVES]

The Growth team's goal is to create tools that would help newcomers. Our goal is to help newcomers when they edit for the first time. The objective is to increase the retention of new editors. We have created several tools to help them, and also to help community members who help them :


 * Newcomer tasks: a feed of task suggestions that help newcomers learn to edit. Newcomers have been making productive edits through this feed!
 * Newcomer homepage: a special page that hosts the "newcomer tasks" and is a good place for a newcomer to get started.
 * Help panel: a platform to provide resources to newcomers while they are editing. If they do suggested tasks, they are step-by-step guided.

These tools are already available on some wikis.

We plan to deploy these tools on [LANGUAGE] Wikipedia, so that you could offer more options for newcomers to start editing.

What do you think? I'm looking for people who could help working on translations and also to check on the configuration.

It you are familiar with Phabricator, I created a task there [INSERT LINK] with all information I have about your wiki, and everything I miss. Please have a look at it, and change what needs to be changed.

I'm looking forward your reply, hoping for a great collaboration. Let me know if you have any question about this project! Of course, please move or share this message if needed.
