Hello, it is indeed enabled on the English Wikipedia, but it will depend on
when the student created their account as to whether they'll see it. The
newcomer homepage can be enabled on older accounts through Preferences >
User Profile > Newcomer Editor features.

I had a student mention their "mentor" --
not WikiEdu staff -- and showed
me a "newcomer" page I've never seen.
Looking around, I see this:

In this enabled on English Wikipedia? I wonder why one student has this
and not others?
