So here's the update on the advisor program.

We've looked at the numbers and the project didn't give us the results we were hoping for. There just wasn't the boost in edits we wanted, and the number of users who followed though after choosing an advisor was very low.

On the other hand, it was an idea that was generally liked by admins on the test wikis and we got some great feedback on the process. We also think there's potential for something similar on the UCP, so we want to look into that.

This means we are going to wind down the project for now, but will leave it available. The set-up instructions are the Dev Wiki, but it won't generally get updates and specific staff support.

It's a shame, we had high hopes for this, but it just didn't work out as hoped.

Let me know if you have any questions or need any help.
