Wikipedia has introduced new features to help recruit and retain new editors for the famous online encyclopedia. These new editors will have more online assistance to help them edit various pages in their favorite fields.

The idea is to simplify the editing process, which has previously been considered daunting. Indeed, too many new editors find it difficult to continue contributing to Wikipedia because of the complexity of the editing process. To support them, the Wikimedia Foundation has deployed new features to improve their productivity.
