Candidate Wikiversity custodians should select a mentor. Please make sure that the mentor you select is willing to mentor you. To make that completely clear, for each pair of a mentor and a custodian candidate, each must accept the other.

[edit] List of experienced custodians who are available for mentoring new custodians

"Experienced custodians" means Wikiversity custodians who have at least 3 months of experience as a sysop ("administrator" = "custodian") on Wikimedia Foundation projects.

This list is in approximate order of recent activity. Names lower down on the list may be custodians who have mentored in the past but who are are not currently very active at Wikiversity.

  • Notes: Custodial tools are useful when held by trusted and dedicated contributors, even if they are rarely used, and just like editing and creating content the more people there are to share the work, the easier it is to get done what needs doing. Candidates should not feel obligated to become a full-time staff member, but rather should make sure they have time during mentorship period to learn how and when to use them.

• McCormack (Talk) – D | P | B | C
  • Notes: I am a supporter of the concept of "active mentorship", where the mentor actively engages with the candidate to ensure that a wide range of skills, including both technical skills and human-resource-management skills, are trained during the probationary period. I am also willing to offer myself as a "tutor" to people who are thinking about custodianship as a more long-term goal (even if they then request other mentors). "Tutorship" is a new idea for a provisional training period (without sysop status) of several months prior to requesting custodianship. "Tutorship" has the goal of increasing the number of competent candidates putting themselves forward for custodianship.
