            Bug ID: 50601
           Summary: GuidedTour for first-time users
           Product: VisualEditor
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General
          Assignee: [email protected]

    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

It might be nice to show a quick intro message for first-time user, could be
implemented via GuidedTour. We may want to distinguish between new vs.
experienced users.

Part of the goal of the message would be to help users understand the
difference between editing in wikitext and VisualEditor, and to explain that
wikitext cannot be entered in VisualEditor. We're seeing a fair number of users
enter wikitext in VisualEditor, and adding a first-time explanation might help
reduce this issue as we roll out VisualEditor to more wikis.

(Feel free to close this WONTFIX if we decide this issue is not significant in
scale enough or the message would be too prominent. But having a first-time use
message come up is not that unusual for a major feature change.)
