Hello Kuldeepburjbhalaike! Thank you for contacting me! It looks like Punjabi Wikipedia doesn't have Growth's mentorship tools set up yet. But it would be great if you helped get Mentorship started on Punjabi Wikipedia! The basic steps are:

1. Agree on having mentorship: Start a conversation at the relevant places at your wiki & recruit mentors.

2. Activate mentorship: At your wiki, any admin can turn on the mentorship system, via Special:EditGrowthConfig.

3. Mentors sign up Once mentorship is activated, then editors can sign up to be Mentor at Special:EnrollAsMentor

If you want to learn more about Mentorship, these resources might be helpful:

• How to configure the Mentors' list
• Mentor Dashboard
• How to interact with newcomers

And if you are interested, here's a link to the slides from today's session.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can do to help you get Mentorship started on Punjabi Wikipedia! Cheers, - KStoller-WMF (talk) 13:54, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

@KStoller-WMF: thank you for the reply, i am opening a discussion at our VP and update you about this later. Kuldeepburjbhalaike (talk) 16:42, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

That's great! Thanks for getting the discussion started! One good thing to know is that if you decide to enable mentorship, you can have experienced editors sign up to be mentors (via Special:EnrollAsMentor) before you actually activate it. Let me know if I can help answer any community questions that emerge.

sorry to bother you

i am sorry to bother you but i am still looking out for that change. do you know when it will happen? trying to see the total instead of 999+ Iljhgtn (talk) 22:04, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Oh no, sorry, I goofed. It looks like the code was merged after the release train cut-off, so it will be visible on English Wikipedia next Thursday (November 16th).

For urgent fixes, there is another backport process we could have followed the get the change out sooner, but it takes more engineering time to schedule and attend the backport windows.

I still find the release train schedule confusing, sorry to mislead you! KStoller-WMF (talk) 01:46, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
