Wikimedia has introduced new features to Wikipedia for better new user experience.
According to The Verge, the company has announced extra features on a platform-wide level, after being testing them for newcomers since 2019.
A landing page for new editors is visible to those who are logged into their Wikipedia accounts. A mentor will be chosen for them from a group of more knowledgeable site veterans who can provide guidance.
Users will also be encouraged to begin making small adjustments through the landing page, sometimes with suggestions made by a Wikimedia-trained machine learning system.
Users can see how many pageviews the articles they changed have received in the 'impact' area on the newcomers page, to get a feel of the impact they're having.
