Text refers to "edit source" links, but if VE is not enabled on your
account or you're not logged in the tabs & links say just "edit".

Hey all,
Today we deployed a new version of the onboarding UX we've been working on
for some time, using GettingStarted and GuidedTour. This is in "silent"
mode right now, and on Monday we'll be flipping the switch to deliver it
for 50% of new signups on English Wikipedia, as part of an A/B test.
To see what this looks like, just add ?gettingStartedReturn=true to any
link on enwiki, like...
-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Lubarsch?gettingStartedReturn=truefor what it
looks like on an editable page
-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page?gettingStartedReturn=truefor what it looks
like on a page new users can't.
As our specification describes,[1] this test version with calls to action
will be delivered automatically to new users when they are redirected back
to where they were prior to signup. The control in our A/B test will be
sending all new users through Special:GettingStarted. You can find out more
about our hypotheses regarding this test on Meta.[2]
I'd appreciate any feedback people might have. A list of the current
things I want to see updated before Monday are on our publicly-viewable
project management tool, Trello.[3]
Many thanks!
