As promised,[1] today we deployed a guided tour that shows new users how to make their first edit using VisualEditor. This tour is a complement to the similar one we created, which shows users how to use the basic functions of the wikitext editor.

Append ?tour=firsteditve to any article URL (where guided tours are available) to see it in action, like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornate_Cowfish?tour=firsteditve or https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphaenogaster_fallax?tour=firsteditve

There are some bugs to iron out (like https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54352) and translations are partially complete at best, but this is one more step toward finalizing the GettingStarted onboarding experience for newly-registered editors, and rolling out across language editions of Wikipedia. For reference, this is one of the tours we will be delivering to basically all new editors in our next A/B test of GettingStarted.[2]
