Abstract
Please describe your proposal in at least 300 words.
If you have any relevant webpages, slidedecks, etc., you may link them here.
Educators and event trainers have a short window of time to try to onboard newcomers and get them up to speed. Those curating the products of events have their own workflow. When the workflow of the two groups does not mesh, or is poorly understood, the result can be frustration on all sides. This roundtable proposes to get together representatives from both groups to expand on their processes and find more effective ways to work together to retain new editors and give newcomers a positive impression of Wikipedia. The hoped-for outcome will be a checklist of best practices for educators. WBM: As a patrolling administrator I find mainspace submissions that transclude {<nowiki/>{dashboard.wikiedu.org sandbox}<nowiki/>} -- which in turn transcludes an {<nowiki/>{error}<nowiki/>}. I often find that this is not the only issue with the submission, and will discuss the most common and easily remedied issues I find in my patrols. -- wbm1058
