The Community Page feature, found at Special:Community, in the Community link which is found on the "Explore" tab or at the "Get Started" button on its module, is a launching point for editors on a community, bringing together information about recent activity and suggestions for pages to improve. In particular it can help new editors become familiar with the community they're joining.

What it contains

 * The Community Page contains :


 * A large banner image to show off your community's topic
 * Many suggestions for pages to edit and improve on the left side, including several lists picked from Special:Insights and an area for administrators to provide their own suggestions and advice.
 * Community information on the right side, including recently active administrators, top contributors and recent arrivals.
 * A location to link to your community policies, plus links to important help pages.

To reach it, you can either navigate to Special:Community or click the button that appears at the top of the right rail on article pages.

How it works

 * Banner image and text
 * The banner image can be changed by community admins by uploading a file to File:Community-Page-Header.jpg.
 * Should be at least 1200x250px.
 * Check the image colours work with your local theme!
 * Heading text can be edited at MediaWiki:Communitypage-tasks-header-welcome and MediaWiki:Communitypage-subheader-welcome.


 * From the community
 * This is an area where admins can provide a wide range of suggestions and pointers for new contributors. For example, it could:
 * Point visitors to pages of particular importance, such as an upcoming release
 * Link categories of pages in need of updating, like Category:Stubs
 * Direct users to the best place to ask questions
 * Request comments on a current topic of discussion, such as new Chat guidelines
 * Examples: The Elder Scrolls Wiki, League of Legends Wiki, Destiny Wiki
 * Normal article wiki-text can be used here, and can be any length.
 * The contents can be edited by admins via the "Edit list" link, or at MediaWiki:Community-to-do-list.


 * Top contributors this week
 * This list resets on Sunday night / Monday morning - specifically, around 00:00 UTC on Monday.
 * Uploading an image/video and adding it to a page are counted separately.
 * Note: rankings are not tracked over the long term, and there are no awards for being high in the list.


 * Help links
 * The community policies link within the help module message can be edited by administrators.
 * It can be found at MediaWiki:Communitypage-policy-module-link-page-name.
 * This can point to any page in your community, and defaults to "Help:Community guidelines".
