Subject: New "make your first edit" guided tour for VE
To: WMF Editor Engagement Team <e...@lists.wikimedia.org>


As promised,[1] today we deployed a guided tour that shows new users how to
make their first edit using VisualEditor. This tour is a complement to the
similar one we created, which shows users how to use the basic functions of
the wikitext editor.

Append ?tour=firsteditve to any article URL (where guided tours are
available) to see it in action, like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornate_Cowfish?tour=firsteditve or
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphaenogaster_fallax?tour=firsteditve

There are some bugs to iron out (like
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54352) and translations are
partially complete at best, but this is one more step toward finalizing the
GettingStarted onboarding experience for newly-registered editors, and
rolling out across language editions of Wikipedia. For reference, this is
one of the tours we will be delivering to basically all new editors in our
next A/B test of GettingStarted.[2]
