A workshop host wishes to sign-up as a workshop mentor (they will have no mentees automatically assigned).
They have to:
# visit Special:MentorDashboard
# confirm the will to be a mentor
# they are signed-up
# go to their preferences
# choose "none"
@iniquity asked me what would happen if the connexion is lost between step 2 and 3 and how many mentees would be automatically assigned to this poor mentor. I think it should be treated locally with the other mentors, who can claim the (few) assigned mentees.
But Iniquity's question raises the question of improving mentors' signup. The idea would be to offer to the new mentors a new onboarding experience, so that they won't have to configure their mentor preferences after the signing-up:
# visit Special:MentorDashboard
# select your preferences (number of assigned mentors, tell if you are a workshop host, etc.)
# confirm the will to be a mentor
# you are signed up as a mentor, directly with your preferences)
