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.

Features for new users coming soon (and mentors wanted)
Hello. Although you've not been so active there recently, as you're currently listed as a host at the Teahouse, I wanted to make sure you're aware of the imminent rollout of new Growth  Team Features which every new account will be getting by default. Each users will soon see a new 'Homepage' tab next to their User  page. It contains two main elements which might impact on your involvement - and you'd be welcome to get  involved and help out directly with one of them. To spread the load on our current list of around 65 mentors, I'm reaching out to ask if you'd like to help out and sign up as one? The workload is relatively small; User  reports receiving four questions a month, on average, all of  which were simple ones of the type we already get at the Teahouse, whilst I've had just one in the last 3 weeks. To view a list of every question asked of all mentors over the last 14 days,  click here. If becoming a mentor and being available to help new users on their first few days here interests you - just as have done at the Teahouse in the past - then please consider signing up at Growth Team  features/Mentor list. But please only do so if you are genuinely willing to be available to help. Existing users can already 'opt-in' to seeing the Newcomer Homepage features via their  Preferences. Thank you!

 * Firstly, they will be offered a range of 'suggested edits', and encouraged to make simple improvements to pages that interest them. (Being  aware of this feature would be helpful for all Teahouse hosts if you're  likely to offer advice on tasks for them to start out doing.)
 * There's also a 'Your impact' box to show them how many people have seen the pages they've just edited.
 * Finally, each new user is randomly assigned a 'mentor' from a list of friendly, experienced editors, like yourself. If they get stuck, they can  ask a question directly to them via a Your mentor box, and hopefully get a swift, friendly answer from that mentor.   Currently, this feature is given to 2% of new users, but it's set to  increase to around 10% in the very near future.


 * Hello Nick,
 * Thank you for reaching out to me. My life has been busy (as it should be) and my concern would be newcomers waiting a long time for an answer just from me when others could provide an answer sooner. I hope you get some volunteers with more free time than me and thank you for reaching out to me. Interstellarity (talk) 11:28, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
 * You're most welcome - and I think that's the perfect reply. Good luck in all you're doing right now. Nick Moyes (talk) 11:32, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
