Newcomers are automatically assigned to mentors who are categorised as "Automatically assigned mentors" in the [[Special:ManageMentors|list of mentors]]. A mentor can also update their settings in the Mentor dashboard to only claim mentees manually, and then they are categorised there as "Manually assigned mentors". The ideal number of mentors is: one mentor for each group of 500 new accounts, with a minimum of 3 mentors. Mentees can also receive encouraging messages from established editors, which can improve new editor retention.

The Personalised praise module surfaces praiseworthy new editors to their mentor, to help productive new editors feel more engaged and involved in the community.

Input to MediaWiki should be NFC-normalised UTF-8. MediaWiki may attempt to convert other input, but this may cause some operations (such as [[Special:ApiHelp/edit|edits]] with MD5 checks) to fail.

Parameters that take multiple values are normally submitted with the values separated using the pipe character, e.g. <kbd>param=value1|value2</kbd> or <kbd>param=value1%7Cvalue2</kbd>. If a value must contain the pipe character, use U+001F (Unit Separator) as the separator ''and'' prefix the value with U+001F, e.g. <kbd>param=%1Fvalue1%1Fvalue2</kbd>.

Some parameter types in API requests need further explanation:

<h4>What is CVV?</h4>
<p>Cardholder Verification Value (CVV): These three or four digit numbers help ensure that the physical card is in the cardholder’s possession. This helps to prevent unauthorised or fraudulent use.</p>
<h4>Visa, Mastercard</h4>
<p>The 3-digit code is located on the back of your card, inside the signature area.
Typically the signature panel will have a series of numbers, but only the last three digits make up the CVV code.</p>
<h4>American Express</h4>
<p>The code is <i>always</i> located <i>above</i> the embossed (raised) account number on the face of the card.
In some instances, the code is located on the left side of the card, but is always above the account number.</p><br />
