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%3E (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.
