  • Answers questions and offers friendly advice and support.
  • Helps with technical difficulties, policy interpretation and conflict management.
  • Enjoys working with and teaching people.
  • Has time available to help.
  • Has a working knowledge of the area he/she is willing to mentor in or be willing to be taught how to mentor in a particular area.
  • Has no record of vandalism or blocks.

A mentor is not:

  • Forever. Once the mentoring process is complete, the community member and the mentor will likely stay in touch, but he/she will be able to progress with learning and contributing to the Wiki with out the continued help of the mentor.
  • A Social club. Mentors are available to help users use and contribute to the Wiki.
  • Just for the newest contributors. Mentoring can be helpful to more advanced users as they want specialized help or advice.

Mentors are needed to help:

  • New users and contributors on a one-on-one basis.
  • Moderators
  • Adopters.
  • Community members who are willing to help with maintenance tasks in the Wiki.
  • Create and set up Wiki Projects.
