PostEdit and GuidedTour added to MediaWiki.org

Hey folks,

E3 deployed Extension:PostEdit and Extension:GuidedTour here on mediawiki wiki today. This is partially because they are dependent on each other, and we want to allow volunteer developers bulding tours to test things out here.

If you want to see how GuidedTour works in a general sort of way, you can force a tour by adding ?tour=test to any URL here. If you've edited in the last six month on most of the top ten Wikipedias, you'll already know what PostEdit looks like. If it bugs you and you want to hide it, add the following snippet to your personal CSS:

.postedit {
	display: none;
}

P.S. Apologies if this is the wrong spot to announce.

Have you announced this anywhere else? Is there a wiki page explaining / discussing the implementation of Guided Tour in mediawiki.org and what could we do with it in order to e.g. help new users and contributors?

There is documentation at the guided tour extension page linked above, and at guided tours. I previously announced this on the local wikis where it was added, and we've held IRC office hours about making tours.
