Things have probably changed since you created your account on Wikipedia. Many tools are now available (or ready to be deployed) to help newcomers make their first steps on Wikipedia in a successful way. These tools also help mentors and patrollers be part of this success. Please join the tour of the solutions offered by the Wikimedia Foundation's Growth and Editing teams!
Over the last year the Wikimedia Foundation Growth team worked on creating a new experience to onboards newcomers on wikis. These tools help newcomers by providing tasks they can work on. Experienced community members can sgare their experience through an easy mentorship system. The Editing team recently joined the effort by providing an edit check around references.
As all of this is not something experienced users need anymore, they often don't know the existence of these features. This session is the perfect time to discover these tools, and the future ones!
