New navbox, for pages that serve as introduction
Hi. I could use a little feedback on the item below. I hope I can still consider myself yto be your adoptee!!!

We have a lot of introductory pages, and a lot of guides and central pages to help newcmers to find introductory pages. I felt that instead of adding another page to list the links, perhaps a nav box might be helpful to some newcomers.

Below is what I came up with so far. Please feel free to comment, provide feedback, etc. this is Template:Introductory pages. thanks! ---Sm8900 (talk) 🌍 04:06, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Note re items
Hi. I think that perhaps we can dispense with the adopter-adoptee relationship at this point. I truly appreciate all of your generous help. I admire all the new activities and roles that you are doing at Wikipedia. I truly wish you great luck and success with all efforts. I am currently seeking a new adopter. thanks. --Sm8900 (talk) 07:30, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest. Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
 * The template db-afc-move has been created - this template is similar to db-move when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.
