User blog:SophitzFoster/New: Mentoring!

Hello everyone! I'll try to stem the flow of announcements soon, but please bear with me for now. This is a fun one!

Some of you have probably seen that the mentor badge was changed from being 5000 contributions to being for senior users who are good for asking questions. We've decided to make it even better than that!

Users who want a mentor can now apply for one! If you’re interested in pairing with an experienced wiki member, or mentor, to ask questions, learn more about the wiki from, become more involved in the community with, and just get to know better, message an administrator with this form:


 * Nickname: (What you go by)


 * Gender:


 * Age: (optional) (You don't need to be any more specific then you'd like. "Child," "adult," "teenager," etc. works if you'd like, or you don't have to answer this at all.)


 * FANDOM experience: (Have you been on a wiki before, how long, how good are you at coding, etc.)


 * Request: (If you’re interested in someone specific, you can put their name here. Otherwise we’ll just match you up the best we can. We can’t promise you’ll get who you want, though.):

Users who are interested in being mentors should comment on this blog post with the following form. Note: You must have been on the wiki for three months, have 500 contributions, and never have been blocked to be apply.

Catherine: I'm willing to take on two myself. I don't think it would be fair to do more considering my level of activity.
