Hi Steven,
I see that GettingStarted and GuidedTours are enabled on wikis mentioned here https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/111460/ but they are not working on elwiki (not reported on Special:Version). Also, although GuidedTours are working on the rest of the wikis I try to visit Special:GettingStarted and there is "no such special page" even in enwiki, although I see edits tagged as made through the system. Am I missing something, or it should be reported on bugzilla?

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.

Hi Vicenç,
The experience is described at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Onboarding_new_Wikipedians#New_experience
In latest version there is not three categories needed, only one. For now, we manually set the local category for each wiki, inside the extension. If the wiki does not have a task category set, we show a more limited version of the tour.
In the future, we will refer to Wikidata items for the relevant categories (wikidata.org/wiki/Q823569 and wikidata.org/wiki/Q9137504). We might also consider letting a community locally override the task category, though I would encourage the community to consider creating a category and tagging pages that have bad spelling/grammar. We've found through testing that newcomers find this kind of task very easy to do and it gives them a way to get start with editing that isn't scary.
