Hi Steven,
I see that GettingStarted and GuidedTours are enabled on wikis mentioned
here
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/111460/ but they are not working on
elwiki (not reported on Special:Version).
Also, although GuidedTours are working on the rest of the wikis I try to
visit Special:GettingStarted and there is "no such special page" even in
enwiki, although I see edits tagged as made through the system.
Am I missing something, or it should be reported on bugzilla?

three main categories for

Hi Vicenç,
The experience is described at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Onboarding_new_Wikipedians#New_experience
In latest version there is not three categories needed, only one. For now,
we manually set the local category for each wiki, inside the extension. If
the wiki does not have a task category set, we show a more limited version
of the tour.
In the future, we will refer to Wikidata items for the relevant categories
(
wikidata.org/wiki/Q823569 and
wikidata.org/wiki/Q9137504). We might also
consider letting a community locally override the task category, though I
would encourage the community to consider creating a category and tagging
pages that have bad spelling/grammar. We've found through testing that
newcomers find this kind of task very easy to do and it gives them a way to
get start with editing that isn't scary.
