Growth/Communities/yo
While we focus on Arabic, Bangla, Czech and Vietnamese Wikipedias as our initial audiences, we are looking for information and input from various other places and demographics. Here are some ways you can help us.
Stay informed!
Check the current project updates and subscribe to our newsletter to get updates on your talk page! Feel free to share this information on your own wikis, or with anyone who might be interested.
How to work with us
Please post on the team’s talk page or the talk pages for our projects! We want to hear about what is working and what is not working for new contributors in your wikis. We also want to hear any reactions, questions, or opinions on our work.
Let's discuss together
We host regular Community conversations. These conversations happen at various times to fit multiple time-zones. They can cover various topics, and they can be in other language than English. The dates are announced in our newsletter.
Be a volunteer translator
Tumọ awọn adanwo Idagbasoke lori Translatewiki.net (o nilo akọọlẹ ọtọtọ ju Wikimedia rẹ lọ).
The Growth features are intended to encourage everyone to participate and edit. As a result, we ask translators to write translations that are inclusive and use gender-neutral language whenever possible.
Get the tools we develop on your wiki
Since December 2021, the Growth features have been deployed to all Wikipedia.
However, we are happy to see more communities getting our features in advance.
If your community is interested in an early adoption of the features we are offering, please consult the pre-requested.
Become a mentor at your wiki
Help newcomers to make successful first steps at your Wikipedia by becoming a mentor.
How to create and maintain the list of mentors
To create a list of mentor, you need to convince a few other volunteers to join your efforts!
To join mentorship at your wiki, please visit Special:ManageMentors locally.
You have to make sure that mentorship is activated at your wiki.
Mentors training
This training is dedicated to volunteer mentors who want to increase their skills when working with newcomers.
Resources for better collaboration with newcomers
Those resources may be helpful for the development of your community and efforts about how to work with newcomers.
How to work with newcomers
These best practices have been created by compiling existing best practices across the wikis. They can be universally applied.
How to create help contents
This module is about creating good help pages. It gathers best practices and applies them to our wikis' unique environment. It is under construction.
