"The idea is to give new editors a specific person to contact about any problems or questions they have on a wiki. The "apprentices" will be able to choose their advisor, and then can expect to have that person available to them for help and advice."

- as said in Sannse's article, it's a trial programme to match new editors with experienced editors, so that the experienced editor may work as their personal mentor and answer any questions they may have while on Fandom
