Hey, Here's the lowdown on new work we deployed today on the Editor Engagement Experiments team. - GuidedTour is now added to frwiki, dewiki, bewiki, mkwiki, mediawiki.org, and outreachwiki. (I added announcements to the German and French Village Pumps.) - We enabled a 50/50 split test of the "getting started" tour on English Wikipedia (try it on any article with ?tour=gettingstarted at the end of the URL). We did this in order to measure the impact of the tour on the ability of new folks to complete their first edit, and find their way back to Special:GettingStarted if they want. - We deployed bug fixes and enhancements to PostEdit, including... - The popup displayed on a new tab after submit, bug 41805 - We made it easier to close, bug 41323 - We increased the time on screen from 2 to 3 seconds, bug 41512 - We made a fix to the way it looks in Monobook, bug 41240 -- Steven Walling https://wikimediafoundation.org/

Nicely done, you guys! Can't wait to start using GuidedTour for some of our upcoming E2 projects. It's a very cool tool for giving users helpful tips where they're most needed. Keep up this fine work :) Fabrice On Feb 7, 2013, at 4:28 PM, Steven Walling wrote:

Quick correction, we didn't add it to MediaWiki.org yet. Soon. :) -- Steven Walling https://wikimediafoundation.org/

Thank you for the deployment on French Wikipedia. As usual, the first comments made by dinosaurs only indicate "that feature don't work on monobook" or "the design is horrible" (as usual), but I'm sure reasonable people will use it with a lot of success soon ! :-) Thanks again, Benoît 2013/2/8 Howie Fung <hfung(a)wikimedia.org>

It's okay, there is one real bug in Monobook, so they're not wrong at all to bring it up. -- Steven Walling https://wikimediafoundation.org/

Right. We are looking into some possible solutions (ideally generalized) for https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44635 . Also, if it's a different bug, please file. Matt Flaschen
