That's odd

I had a new question on my talkpage:[1]. Why can't I find the mentee on my Mentor dashboard? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:31, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've had the same happen to me...it just takes a while for the name to show up on the list I guess..--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:43, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:51, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, there he is. Just a bit of lag. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:09, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Due to cache reasons, the list of mentees is renewed every 12 hours. Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 14:18, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bilorv's mentees

Bilorv has retired from Wikipedia but is still getting questions from mentees. Could an admin please reassign them? Thanks! -- asilvering (talk) 19:32, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this was already done. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:38, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Attempting to retire from mentoring

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T330071

Given that I'm now semi-retired here, I decided to try and remove myself as a mentor. It appears that it successfully reassigned my mentees but I still appear to be a mentor? I don't exactly know where to check this and I tried the button and it would just error out. Anyone able to help? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{blaze__wolf} 13:16, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Blaze Wolf look like there was a database error, I forced an update and processed your removal - should be done now. If they are on, you may want to turn off the mentee-side preferences for yourself at the bottom of Special:Preferences — xaosflux ^Talk 13:37, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. Thanks xaosflux! ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{blaze__wolf} 14:09, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@xaosflux: Two days ago Blaze received a mentee question. Could you verify if the mentees have been reassigned? Rusty 🐈 19:28, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like they still have mentees, I've added notes to phab:T330071 about this. — xaosflux ^Talk 23:13, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About removing a mentor

Ixtal has not edited in a month. I've been answering some of the questions coming in from her mentees, but as it's unfortunately unclear if she will be returning to Wikipedia, the users should probably be reassigned to a different mentor, and Ixtal removed from the list. Let me know if you have any questions. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:05, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Based on other wiki's habits, one month is more than enough to declare a mentor off.

Note: any admin can remove Ixtal, their mentees will be automatically reassigned to other mentors. Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 18:00, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Teahouse#Can_I_be_someone’s_mentee?

Can someone help this editor? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:01, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Replied there. I looked through the archives and I think currently 50% of newcomers get access to the Ask A Question module and thus have access to the mentorship program. Trizek_(WMF) might know if we’re any closer to a higher percentage when they’re back. Perfect4th (talk) 21:00, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was told at some point that users with the newcomer homepage has (as in sees) a mentor, but that might be incorrect. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 21:43, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My alt has the question module access so I can’t tell. That would certainly be helpful for this type of case if so (I’ve just been using the {{#mentor:Example}} template to figure out mentors). I’d thought that all users had the homepage but only those with the question module saw their mentors – do some not? Perfect4th (talk) 20:54, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
