Help:Community Page

Beta

The new Community Page feature is a launching point for editors on a community, bringing together information about recent activity and suggestions for pages to improve. In particular it should help new editors become familiar with the community they're joining.

Note that this feature is currently in development and may change as work continues.

What it contains
The Community Page currently contains:


 * A large banner image to show off your community's topic
 * Many suggestions for pages to edit and improve on the left side, including several lists picked from Special:Insights.
 * Recent community activity on the right side, such as the top editors and recent edits.
 * A location to link to your community policies.

To reach it, you can either navigate to Special:Community or click the button that appears at the top of the right rail (for logged in users).

How it works

 * Banner image and text
 * The banner image and welcome message can be changed by community admins.
 * The image is located at File:Community-Page-Header.jpg.
 * Should be at least 1200x250px.
 * Make sure the image colors work with your local theme!
 * The text overlaying the image is not editable at this time.


 * Welcome message
 * The welcome message can be edited at MediaWiki:Communitypage-admin-welcome-message.
 * 200 characters maximum. Beyond that, the message will be truncated with an ellipsis ('...').


 * Top Contributors This Week
 * This list resets on Sunday night / Monday morning - specifically, around 0000 UTC on Monday.
 * Uploading an image/video and adding it to a page are counted separately.
 * We don't currently track rankings over the long term.


 * Community policies
 * The link within the community policies module message can be edited by admins.
 * It can be found at MediaWiki:Communitypage-policy-module-link-page-name.
 * This should point to a valid Help namespace page name on your community.

If you have feedback or suggestions for this feature, please let us know via Special:Contact/feedback!
