:::::No disrespect, but we're pretty busy out here, too ! [[User:Jasonbrown1965|Jasonbrown1965]] ([[User talk:Jasonbrown1965|talk]]) 09:04, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
::::::{{u|Jasonbrown1965}}, no disrespect to you, either, but you seems to have found one of the countless help pages that are [[WP:PAG|neither policies nor guidelines]], and are quite obscure. This page was created 15 years ago, and is neither frequently cited nor often recommended by Wikipedia editors. I am highly active yet I am barely aware of it. I think I watch it because it got vandalized once. There are many, ''many'', '''many''' other pages recommended by active editors every day that are far more important to improve than this backwater. Keep in mind that any editor in good standing can create an unofficial page like this. That's my opinion. [[User:Cullen328|Cullen328]] ([[User talk:Cullen328|talk]]) 09:43, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::::@[[User:Cullen328|Cullen328]], this page at least used to be much more prominent than most. It was linked from {{t|Welcome}} and is still linked from [[MediaWiki:Notification-welcome-link|the notification new users get after they start editing]]. I [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 180#How do I find this?|tried]] to change it several years ago to [[Help: Introduction]] but met some opposition, and these days I think [[Special:Homepage]] might be a good target.
:::::::It may also still be linked from some other places I haven't managed to ferret out and switch to [[H:I]]. Feel free to help out by changing any you notice.
:::::::Also, I think renaming this page to something like [[Help:List of getting started pages]] might help make it clearer what it contains and that it shouldn't be where we actually send most newcomers.
