I think this is reasonable.  

Regarding showing a tour only once: I don't think we have to add an explicit
checkbox to show it exactly once. Currently the default behavior is...

If a user completes the tour or clicks the X to close we never show it again.
So in this case, as a single step tour, clicking the "Okay" button or X would
end the tour and it would never repeat. That is stored as a hidden preference,
so it works across sessions, but not across wikis.

If we really want to tie it to a single page, there is also an isSinglePage
variable we can set for the tour, which means no matter what it will only
appear on that one page.
