Following community discussion and interest, we propose enabling the Newcomer Dashboard for Wikidata. The dashboard aims to provide guidance, helpful links, and mentorship opportunities for new editors.
**Considerations:**
- "Newcomer Onboarding" section has generic Wikipedia text so we agreed to leave those fields empty for now, hiding the section until WMF adapts the text for Wikidata
- Two thoughtful suggestions raised for later
-- Have a page with help around images that we could link to from here.
-- Develop a process for rotating community updates beyond just the Weekly Summary
