I've noticed the growth of the WikBack, and
decided this is a good time for
new projects. The Help Wiki is a MediaWiki site which aims to produce some
neat little help guides for newbies on Wikipedia. At the present, we're just
writing them and improving them: we're taking it slow, and our little
community is still unsure whether our guides will eventually be implemented
onto Wikipedia, or kept on-site.
Anyway, we're located at <
http://www.pj.tsone.info/helpwiki/index.php/Main_Page> (the domain name
isn't sorted yet), and all contributors are welcome. We use the FlaggedRevs
extension to provide some basic peer review and constructive criticism, as
well as a basic level of quality for our readers, but otherwise everybody is
welcome to contribute!
The project was founded by User:Qst@enwiki, and has a basic community of ~8
users; we're around a month old. I'm just the developer for it, by the way
;) so, all welcome, even if you just create an account, and perhaps add a
guide or two!
Best regards to all,
Anthony

I do think the scope of this site is rather good as Wikipedia is
probably quite a daunting place due to its size and possible cabal-ish
feel for some people. An external place to provide help may be quite
good and reassuring despite the fact that Wikipedia has its own help
pages. Another help site could be stronger when it comes to discussing
the standard practice, if not the policies, of the Wikipedia community,
for example.
