This week the "Getting Started" feature by the Editor Engagement Experiments team has been on hold while we work on future designs, data analysis, and Echo notifications to go with it, but we did deploy a few significant updates today...

Account creation and login redesign: We turned off the experimental implementation of the new account creation interface on English Wikipedia. S Page, Munaf, and the rest of the team have been hard at work prepping a version of both the account creation and login redesign for MediaWiki core, and we need to turn off the previous version to make way. 

Commits for this are undergoing review, and after they're merged and the next biweekly MediaWiki release happens, you'll be able to test it out and give us feedback on an opt-in basis locally, before it's made the default everywhere. Look for another announcement about that in the coming weeks. :)

Guided tours: We added GuidedTour to Portuguese Wikipedia, bringing it to a total of about 15 communities where you can build and use tours. 

Last but not least: We removed Extension:LastModified (the experiment with adding a timestamp of the last change, linking to the history). This was an experiment that we decided not to make a permanent feature since it didn't really lead to any gains in active contributors to articles. Some community members have expressed interest in the feature, so if you're looking for a side project that needs some love and care, this extension is ripe for cleanup and redeployment. --
