Are you talking about the "Want to help? We'll show you." button? I guess the walkthrough is nice...

The user doesn't actually do anything except read textboxes and click next, creating a limited learning experience - same as reading a labeled image. While it's nice to define each section of the editing window, not all that information is needed for first edit. And for users trying to do a more advanced edit, the walkthrough is insufficient. It also fails to tell the new editor where to get more editing information or how to seek assistance.

The goal seems to be to get more readers editing, yet it's a desktop-only feature. The walkthrough itself states that most website users are mobile - yet those users are unable to edit. If FANDOM wanted more editors, than it would create features to make it easy for mobile fans to contribute. It seems counter-intuitive to tell desktop editors that they need to focus on mobile readers.

I do feel that converting readers to editors is important and walkthroughs like this may help encourage some readers to take the plunge. Thus, I'm supportive of these types of efforts, even if my feedback is at times critical.
