Hello Sannse, and pardon the late reply for we were discussing about it.

We are comfortable and interested in the program. Though, there are concerns I would like to address regarding the nature of this wiki.

These advisors would be available for answering basic editing questions and guiding appropriate edits, in the hope that these users will become active in the local community

We've seen from research and experience (both from Wikipedia) that establishing a human bond with a peer "senpai" or mentor can have a better effect on the comfort of the newcomer, especially where the high volume of edits may cause the quick response of rollbacks rather than taking the time to walk new editors through their early work

As far as I have observed personally, this wiki is more of a "game database" than "story summary" wiki. Thus, most of the edits and works are focused on repetitively updating the database, and are done by the mods and admins.

On the other hand, our "story summary" part of the wiki lacks active editors, has no set writing guideline, and possibly also the necessary skill, making it difficult for us mods and admins to help guiding new editors for this portion.

These do not mean we are not participating however, as we believe that we are not the only wiki that "new contributor" can contribute to. We can help guideline the basics to them, and they can apply for further editing experience on other, more open communities.

In regards to the changes required.
At least one volunteer advisor, acting as an advisor and advocate helping newcomers. I, 0123456789 The Great, would like to volunteer myself.

Discussions / Feeds. Not exactly sure what does this requirement precisely demands, but we do have a Discussion board, a Discord server, and the admins may always be messaged.

A change to your Welcome Messages to allow a method where a newcomer can choose an advisor. We have no problem with that. However, if would be very preferable if we can draft the new message together, or we can see the new message before implementation.
