We already have some cool in-site pop-ups/messages on MusicBrainz, these could be leveraged a bit more to create at least a whiff of 'onboarding' around here - encouraging, congratulating and guiding users to resources and the community in a slow-drip way.

I'm not sure how difficult it is to code these messages to display at specific milestones - like registering that a user has made their first 'destructive' edit. If that is a blocker then I think it's fine to just display these images at certain edit # milestones, in a similar order to below (e.g. send a message at 10 edits, then 50 edits, 100 edits etc).

Message suggestions:

• [first edit] 🎉 Congratulations, you've made your first edit! Left with questions? Check out the Wiki.
• [first destructive edit*] 🎉 Why has nothing changed!? Nice, your first edit that's gone into the voting queue. Don't panic, read the editing FAQ.
• [first 'removal' edit] 🧹 Doing some cleaning! Did you know that most data shouldn't be removed if it was once correct? If you want to remove something please read this page first.
• [first 'relationship removal' edit] 🧹 Doing some cleaning! Did you know: Relationships that are no longer valid should be set as 'ended' instead of being removed, which is done via the pencil icon. Click here for a two minute video tutorial.
• [first 'no vote'] 🚨 Your first no vote! Make sure to let the editor know why you are voting no in the edit comments, and check out the voting Code of Conduct. No votes can sometimes cause friction, but we're all here because we love the music. Thank you for looking after our data!
• [ten albums added] 🎉 You've added ten albums! You might be ready for some powertools, like these powerful third-party importers and the wealth of userscripts. Please always be careful and safe when handling powertools.
• [added a work] ✍🏻 Rolling up your sleeves and getting into some serious data - you've made a work! Questions? Read the Work styleguide page here.
• [added artwork] 🎨 Adding artwork is a thing of beauty! Did you know that MusicBrainz is quite particular about adding the exact artwork for a specific release? You can read about it in the guide. Don't forget to set the type to 'front' if it's the front cover, so it shows up.

*These messages could qualify for an email as per sister ticket MBS-12678: Utilise our emails for good: friendly, encouraging, community. We should be much more sparing with emails than these messages, but emails can have more content and should have information that covers the content of multiple messages.

• • If this ticket gets a PR I will put a shirt in the store that says 'I made 1,000 edits on MusicBrainz and all I got was this shirt' : D

Another good companion ticket for this is MBS-12791: Share edits to social media/other channels, which suggests adding a share button to these messages.
