I've been thinking of bringing back New User Adoption, which would allow an experienced editor (can be anyone really) to "adopt" a new user who requests it and they can rely on that user to help them out. BobNewbie originally came up with the concept but it didn't really go too far. I am planning to adjust some of the "guidelines" for this feature as some of them were just drafts from planning (plus a minimum of 700 edits seems too much for someone to be eligible to adopt someone) but we'll come to that a little bit later. For now, I'm wondering what others think of this. Lost Labyrinth Image:Flag united kingdom england.svg • (c) • (b) 22:42, February 28, 2012 (UTC)

It might encourage "newbies" to edit more and feel more helped and less "lost" when the wiki is full of more experienced users. I also feel it would be an opportunity for the community to get to know itself more. --RoseGuiFile:Thanks rose.png (talk here) 22:46, February 28, 2012 (UTC) I agree as well. I aren't that sure how we'll go around it though, since tbh most people who sign up make a few edits and leave. ―ฬђ talk 05:35, February 29, 2012 (UTC) We can definitely add something to the welcome message regarding it which might build some kind of interest amongst new users. I'll probably start planning the new "guidelines" within the next few days as a draft and see how that goes. Lost Labyrinth Image:Flag united kingdom england.svg • (c) • (b) 13:05, February 29, 2012 (UTC) A very good idea for the new user to become a great professional editor. It can be possible if they will sign up for this, since most (or maybe some) might edit a few and just leave without coming back or they may decline because they are experienced editors from other wikis and/or Wikias. Just saying. ThomasWikia Main|Talk 09:52, March 5, 2012 (UTC) I agree with ThomasWiki. Mr. Hamming 06:46, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
