We believe that it can help newcomers have a good experience on the wiki if they are able to find communities who are interested in the same topics as they are, and information about how to get involved with those topics.
After users select topics, perhaps a module could appear with links relevant for that topic, like to a WikiProject associated with the topic, or to guidelines for how to edit articles about that topic (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources_(medicine)).
