Revision as of 23:20, 28 March 2013
Guided tours are interactive tours of a part of Wikipedia. Guided tours are meant to complement help pages, by showing users directly how to do something in a step-by-step way. This is a new software feature, so please be patient if you encounter bugs or other SNAFUs.
If you want to see what this feature looks like, you can try a simple test tour. For more information, see also the technical documentation and product documentation.
If you'd like to create a tour, see the write an on-wiki tour instructions. You'll need to be an administrator or get help from one, as the code for on-wiki tours (as opposed to the built-in test and gettingstarted tours) lives in the MediaWiki namespace.
There is another built-in tour, called gettingstarted, which is designed to help new users make a simple copy-edit. It is currently being A/B tested for half of newly created users, the first time they see Special:GettingStarted.
