I don't understand how it works. There are three main categories for searching random articles to improve. How or where are these categories defined? They should have a local equivalent or probably a proper local set up of maintenance categories.

Subject: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Localization and launch of GettingStarted extension outside English Wikipedia
Hi all,
This is just an advance notice that we're getting much closer to being able to launch GettingStarted,[1] a tool for suggesting tasks to new editors after they sign up,[2] on non-English Wikipedias.
In the next 24 hours or so, most of our major user-facing changes will be merged and ready to localize. About 10-15 languages are 80% or better on translatewiki already, so many are close. The more the better!
Our current plan is to launch initially on all Wikipedias where localization is complete (or close to it, 90% or better is ideal). That will likely happen soon after our current iteration of work ends on February 5th, though I will keep people posted.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
