Warriors Wiki:Adopt a User

Become a Mentor

 * Mentors must fill a few requirements:


 * Must have been a member of the site for 3 months.
 * Must have at least 25% of total edits in two of the following namespaces individually, or 50% of total edits in one of them: Main, Talk, Warriors Wiki, Warriors Wiki talk, Template or Template talk. One can check their edits in special Editcount for their percentages.
 * Must know how the wiki functions in general (enough to answer pretty much any questions an apprentice would have) and be competent in wiki-code.
 * Must be mature, possess common sense, and be patient enough to handle an apprentice.
 * Must be approved by a sysop (to ensure their maturity and that their edits have been contributive).


 * If you fufill these requirements and would like to become a mentor, make a new post on the Discussion page in the Mentor Requests section, following the instructions there. Be sure to sign the post with ~.


 * One of the Sysops will approve you if they see fit, and place you on the main project page.

Become an Apprentice

 * If you would like to acquire a mentor, make a new post on the Discussion page in the Apprentice Requests section, following the instructions there. Be sure to sign the post with ~.

Creating Pairs

 * Mentors are paired with apprentices based on availability. Mentors reply to posts on the Talk Page 'claiming' responsibility for apprentices who need mentors. Mentors who already have apprentices should wait 24 hours before claiming another apprentice to give other mentors a chance. For the time being, Mentors can only have a maximum of two apprentices at one time. If an apprentice requests a certain mentor, that mentor must accept it.


 * Whenever the mentor and apprentice both feel that the apprentice has learned about the site is no longer in need of mentoring, they can make a post on the discussion area of the talk page announcing this.


 * Mentors should note that it is not acceptable to solicit apprentices from new members, unless it is suggesting to a member that they seek a mentor because they are having issues. Being Mentored is not a requirement, and never will be. Giving that impression is unacceptable.

Issues

 * If you have a legitimate issue with the project, be it a personal issue with your mentor/apprentice or a concern about someone else's standing, you should contact a sysop privately and we will do our best to resolve it.

Inactivity

 * If an apprentice request is accepted, but the mentor hears no word from his/her respective apprentice for a week, said apprentice will be removed.
 * If during an apprenticeship the apprentice disappears for a period of more than two weeks with no notification, said apprentice will be removed.
 * If a mentor is not fulfilling his/her duties or has vanished for a period of more than a month with no notification, said mentor will be removed.

Signature

 * Just drop a message on the talk page and leave your new signature and a request that it be updated.

Apprentice Listing

 * Mistakes or oversights in the apprentice listings can be corrected by requests on the talk page.
 * Graduated apprentices should be reported on the talk page, also.
