'''Adopt-a-user''' is a feature on {{SITENAME}} which is designed to help new and inexperienced users. Experienced users on TSW can "adopt" a user by mentoring them along the way as they learn about the wiki, its various features and aspects.
 
This program is best suited for inexperienced users who wish to be long term contributors. If you fancy being adopted then don't hesitate to message one of [[The Sims Wiki:Adopt-a-user#Adopters|adopters]], who will be more than happy to help. Please read the rules, regulations and tips before adding yourself to the list or requesting to be adopted.
 
== For Adopters ==
*You should try to help a user as much as possible.
*Control yourself. Even if the adoptee has done something wrong countless times, you still have no right to insult them. [[The Sims Wiki:Assume good faith|Assume good faith]], remain calm and avoid frustration or emotion.
*Ideally the system should span for 3 months although an adoptee may request to be a mentee for longer. Please ensure that you are as active as possible.
*If you do receive a request from a user wishing to be an adoptee but you are unable to fulfil that request, please forward the user to another adopter if possible.
*You should try to check [[:Category:Users/Wishes for adoption]] regularly to see if there are any users wishing to be adopted.
Line 13:
**Must not have received a block for disruptive behavior in the past three months.
**Should have a reasonable amount of edits, although quality > quantity.
**Should be knowledgeable with the wiki in general.

|bgcolor="limegreen"| I'm here most days - best time to catch me is in the evening, UK time.
|Yep - no fixed maximum number (yet)
|Yes, [[The Sims Wiki:Administrators#Bureaucrats|bureaucrat too]] :P
|I'm fluent with making templates, making signatures, CSS, JS, formatting, helping with bot tasks, images, assisting with counter-vandalism and pretty much most things. :P I'm also good with [[The Sims Wiki:IRC|IRC]] and [[Special:Chat|the on-wiki chat]] and can help users get adjusted to the features, technical stuff etc. I'm here most days so I'll be willing to help where possible.
|Feel free to [[user talk:Lost Labyrinth|drop me a message]] or PM me in Chat/IRC and we'll talk.

|bgcolor="limegreen"|I'm on TSW every day, usually on at any time (New Zealand time).
|Yes - 3 adoptees is probably my limit.
|Not anymore, but I used to be; I am a rollback and chat moderator
|Yep
|I haven't been here long, but I am good with userboxes, templates and things like that. I'm best with helping with the basics of the wiki, such as getting familiar with editing, writing good fanon, the basics of HTML and using bold and italics correctly. I'm not good at all with the more technical stuff.
|Leave me a message on [[User talk:Bakerychaz|my talk page]] or talk to me on Chat. Unfortunately I'm not on IRC.

|Yuppers.
|I've not been here long, but I am quite advanced on editing. I'm good with userboxes, templates and page setups. I'm good with .css but not very good with .js.
|I'm always on Chat whenever I'm online, I am also on [[The Sims Wiki:IRC Channel|IRC]] whenever I'm online, so yeah. Alternatively, you can [[User_talk:Beds|message me here]] for any queries or whatnot.

|bgcolor="limegreen"|I edit whenever I can but I am active every day, yes.
|Of course - 3/4 is my limit
|Not anymore.
|I've been here for about 7/8 months and I am consistent at making signatures, userboxes, templates and the basics of the wiki. I also am cool with coding and font tags, et cetera, so feel free to fire questions about them at me, however this does not include js. and css. (I'm ok with MediaWiki though).
|Feel free to message me on chat or [[User talk:JasonThePlum|here]] if I am not on chat.

== Userboxes ==
{{Metabox|type=notice|image=Icon-warning-48x48.png|headline=Important|text=When adding userboxes to your userpage, please use Wikia's older, classic rich-text editor and '''not''' the new [[Help:VisualEditor|VisualEditor]]. You can do this by clicking on the drop-down menu next to the Edit button and selecting "Classic Editor", or by going to your [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|preferences]] page and changing your preferred editor to "Wikia's classic rich-text editor". The following instructions '''do not''' work in VisualEditor and may cause issues with your userpage.}}
The Sims Wiki has [[The Sims Wiki:Userboxes|some userboxes]] related to this feature which users may place on their userpages to show their status.
