I see you plan to make new users edit Wikipedia. Have you considered making them start with some assisted editing? For example OAbot is a tool to quickly edit references. It's educational on multiple fronts (templates, reliable sources, systemic bias, copyright) and can make the participants feel some sense of accomplishment quite quickly. It's also of obvious interest for librarians, since most link targets are repositories managed by libraries. Nemo 20:21, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
