Editace Mentorship

Newcomers are automatically assigned to mentors; these mentors are categorized as "Automatically assigned mentors" in Special:ManageMentors. A mentor can update their Mentor Dashboard settings to only claim mentees manually, they are categorized as "Manually assigned mentors". The ideal number of mentors is: one mentor for each group of 500 new accounts, with a minimum of 3 mentors. Mentees can also receive encouraging messages from established editors, which can improve new editor retention.

The Personalized praise module surfaces praiseworthy new editors to their mentor, to help productive new editors feel more engaged and involved in the community.
