Adopt a Newb

  Adopt a Newb

A Wiki Big Brother/Big Sister Program

 "Newbs are like cute little adorable kittens, they mean well, but they are new, and need help learning their way around, sometimes they'll make mistakes, they'll scratch the furniture or have an accident on the carpet, but as long as they are a real true honest newb and not a troll, all they need is a guide, someone to stand by them and assist them through the process of becoming a full fledged member of our wiki."

- Bach Being a new member of any community can be a scary process. You don't know anyone, you're walking in with no idea what you're doing, who anyone is, and it can be a very very frightening time in the process of joining a wiki. Lots of users try to help, but sometimes so many users try and help one little newb, it can get chaotic. Fear no more, adopt a newb is here. With this program, any user already above Level Five (including rbs, admins and crats obviously) can "adopt" a newb, and guide them through their first 5 weeks on our wiki.
