Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adopter's Area/Intro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the area where Adopters can access valuable information on the Adopt-a-User program.

To sign up to be an Adopter, check that you meet the criteria below, add the template {{Adopting}} to your user page and remember to regularly check the category of new users seeking Adoption as most new users respond best to direct requests for adoption. For a more personalised service, add your details to the list of users available for Adopting. Remember that just because another potential adopter has offered adoption, this does not mean that you cannot also offer a choice, so you may also wish to check the category of new users who have been offered Adoption.

If you find a user you want to adopt then leave a message on their talk page and change {{Adoptme}}, to {{Adoptoffer}} on their user page. Once adoption is complete use the {{Adoptee|Adopter's Username}} and {{Adopter|Adoptee's Username}} templates on the appropriate user pages.
