Sessions
The Community Configuration project marks a significant step towards empowering Wikimedia communities to tailor on-wiki functionality to their specific needs. By shifting certain decision-making authority from WMF teams to wiki administrators, Community Configuration fosters a collaborative environment where local communities have greater control over feature customization. Join this session to delve deeper into Community Configuration, see which features will be the first ones to be community-configurable and actively participate in shaping its future alongside WMF teams, including Growth, Editing, and Moderator Tools.
Things have probably changed since you created your account on Wikipedia. Many tools are now available (or ready to be deployed) to help newcomers make their first steps on Wikipedia in a successful way. These tools also help mentors and patrollers be part of this success. Please join the tour of the solutions offered by the Wikimedia Foundation's Growth and Editing teams!
