At the moment, the special signup page for mentors is available at Beta wikis and the test Wikipedia.
Next steps will be to release it by order to:
# Pilot wikis (done week 38 and 39)
[x] Arabic Wikipedia
[x] Bangla Wikipedia
[x] Czech Wikipedia
[x] Spanish Wikipedia (the feature will wait for mentors)
# Other wikis where the list is active (Oct 26)
- Check on possible issues first: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T310906#8153006
Proposed key elements for communication:
- Why this change?
- At the moment, the mentor list is a simple page anyone can edit, unless it’s protected.
- We have observed some cases where mentors were not following formatting instructions, which generated some mistakes.
- Also, this new system will make the development of new features for mentors much easier.
- What changes?
- With the new page, mentors will be able to edit only their own description (using Special:MentorDashboard), while administrators will be able to edit the entire mentors' list if needed (using Special:ManageMentors).
- The old syntax ` [[user:Name]]|Description` was confusing and won't be used anymore.
- New mentors will signup by visiting Special:MentorDashboard. Mentors willing to take a break or quit will also use Special:MentorDashboard to do so.
- At the time of the deployment, the page where mentors are listed will be edited. The list of mentors will be replaced by {{Special:ManageMentors}}, the rest of the page remains unaffected.
- What mentors have to do?
- Nothing! Except updating the instructions at the page where the list of mentors is currently displayed.
- The list of mentors will be updated by Martin.
- When will it happen?
- TBD for both pilot and other wikis
