####User story & summary:
As a new editor visiting my [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Personalized_first_day/Newcomer_homepage | Newcomer homepage ]], I want to see information relevant to me, so that I can deepen my involvement in the wikis.
####Project details:
This epic includes adding one new [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_configuration | Community Configurable ]] module for the [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Personalized_first_day/Newcomer_homepage | Newcomer homepage ]]:

####Background
This epic is a step towards supporting the [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/Product_%26_Technology/OKRs#WE1:_Contributor_experience | WMF Annual Plan Objective around WE1.3 ]].
As new editors progress in their involvement on the wikis, the Newcomer homepage should evolve and offer more complex tasks that also encourage new editors to engage in more meaningful ways. This new task can be used to help bring attention to content gaps on high-impact topics, which aligns with the [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy/Recommendations/Identify_Topics_for_Impact#Changes_and_Actions | 2030 Movement strategy’s “Topics for Impact” recommendation ]].
The Growth team previously created a simple banner module: {T269804}. This epic includes making improvements to that banner to make this feature more useful to communities and new editors.
**Examples of how the legacy banner is used, via [[ https://global-search.toolforge.org/?q=.*®ex=1&namespaces=8&title=Growth-homepage-banner.* | Global search Growth-homepage-banner ]]:**

####Designs:
