Interests and ambitions

Mgeheren wants to create new pages as much as he can, and primarily edit in the mainspace. He also wants to patrol new pages and wants to learn as mush as he can about Wikipedia.

Curriculum

Policy and background In this phase of the curriculum, I will teach Mgeheren the founding policies of Wikipedia, such as the five pillars, and go into depth about What Wikipedia Is and What It Is Not.

WikiMarkup This phase is just a quick brushup on the wiki language by running through the Manual of Style.

What makes an article Here, I will go into detail about the different parts of an article, such as the lead section, etc. to assist Mgeheren in creating articles.

Deletion In this phase I will show Mgeheren the different ways an article can be deleted, to prepare him for new page patrolling.

"Old School" New page Patrol In this phase I will show Mgeheren the oldest and perhaps the most reliable way to patrol new pages.

Tools of the trade Here, Mgeheren will learn about NPWatcher, a new page patrol program, Twinkle, to make simple tasks easier without an external browser, and wikEd, to assist him with mainspace editing.

Deletion listing In this very brief part of the curriculum, Mgeheren will learn how and when to list a page for deletion...without NPWatcher or Twinkle, as it is simply an important piece or knowledge that shouldn't be missed.

The Wikipedia Namespace Here, I will try to get Mgeheren involved in the background side of the project, by participating in XfDs, dispute resolution, RfAs, and other similar tasks.

Test Yes, Mgeheren, there will be a test. But have no fears; it's not that bad.
