Any WikiAnswers Super who would like to learn to use WikiAnswers to its fullest, meet new friends in the super Community, or just learn all their new Super Powers just needs to request a Mentor.
This can be done by messaging Ganderton at UserDiscuss:Ganderton, or by Emailing to Ganderton@wikianswers.com.
They will then contact you and take you through everything you will need to know, how to socialize, where to comment or make suggestions, how to use you powers, or to just chat about stuff.
Once your Mentor has determined that you have learned all you need to know about our Community, your Super Powers, and WikiAnswers site etiquette, they will recommend you for graduation.
Your graduation will then be announced in the Forum, and the Graduate Badge will be added to your profile.
