* Add an overflow menu on the mentor module header that has a menu option to a new "About mentors" dialog that provides more info about mentoring. The menu will also contain a new feature to opt out of being mentored (see T287915).
* Add a short message at the start of the mentor module introducing what it is, with a "learn more" link that also opens the "About mentors" dialog.
* Add a short message to the mobile preview.
* Add a new "About mentors" info dialog
** Accessed via the overflow menu from the mentor header, or from the link in the mentor module.
** Dialog opens full screen on mobile, as a medium-sized dialog on Desktop
** Besides more info that explains the concept in more detail, there is also a link to opt-out directly from the about dialog, which will bring out the opt-out flow (see T287915).
* All copy is TBC.
**2. Ask a question dialogs **
This flow should provide clear communication about both the public nature of the communication, and transparency of how to remove posted messages.

* Revise placeholder copy to remove "say hello", and specify that questions should relate to editing.
* Add help text below the text-area field in the form of a "writing tip".
* Update the confirmation message to use the green success message widget from [[ https://doc.wikimedia.org/oojs-ui/master/demos/?page=widgets&theme=wikimediaui&direction=ltr&platform=desktop | OOUI ]]
* Update copy on the confirmation page to reiterate that the message was **posted publicly** and also add the estimated timeframe for reply.
