"getting started" guided tour on English Wikipedia: previously those
who manually went back to Special:GettingStarted had a chance to
view the tour again if they picked another article. Now, people in
the control group will never see the tour, and those who complete
the tour or end it won't see it ever again.
More broadly, if you visit Special:GettingStarted deliberately at any
time (as opposed to being shown it automatically immediately after
creation), you will not be sent on the tour.
This includes any user, established or new, who might choose to visit
the page.
