Line 1: '''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. == For Adoptees == Line 30: ! style="width:45%" \| Description ! style="width:25%" \| Notes \|-▼ \|{{user\|Lost Labyrinth}}▼ \|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.~~ \|- \|{{user\|Woganhemlock}} Line 48 ⟶ 41: \|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.
