Wikiversity talk:Curator Mentorship

Mentorship Changes
I have adjusted the probationary period from four weeks to three months. There haven't been any four-week probations during the last two years, and experience has shown that more time as a probationary custodian provides a wider range of experience to both learn and demonstrate custodian skills.

I have also added a list of skills that should be demonstrated at some point during the probationary period. This will help to ensure that custodians are familiar with the tools necessary to support Wikiversity and have a demonstrated history upon which the community can evaluate the recommendation for full custodianship.

Curator Mentorship
I'm renaming this page to Curator Mentorship rather than Custodian Mentorship. In the "good old days" it was possible to remove a custodian if the mentorship was not successful. Because the WMF now requires that custodians be fully approved by the community, and because even bureaucrats are not able to remove custodian status, custodian mentorship comes too late in the process. Instead, this is now curator mentorship. The parts specific to custodians will be noted in a separate section. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 21:46, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
