We would appreciate your feedback on this page or during the virtual meeting on how the Starter Kit can evolve to better support small and new Wikipedia communities, especially the needs of editors with advanced rights. Thank you so much for trying the tool. We look forward to getting your feedback, and we hope to see you at one of the virtual meetings.
