Hello, {{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>PAGENAME}}! '''Welcome to Wikipedia!''' It appears you are a course instructor leading a class project or assignment. '''If you're new to Wikipedia or want to learn about best practices for Wikipedia assignments and class projects, we ''highly recommend'' that you go through the our training page for instructors.'''


<div style="text-align:center>
{{Clickable button|[[Wikipedia:Training/For educators|Click here for the online training for educators]]|color=blue}}
</div>


The training includes instructions for setting up a '''structured course page and with tools for tracking student work and encouraging peer review'''. I also highly recommend that you review the [[WP:INSTRUCTORS|advice for instructors]] page.

If you run into problems or want some feedback on your Wikipedia assignment plans, try posting to the [[Wikipedia:Education noticeboard|education noticeboard]].
