The tour will go in MediaWiki:Guidedtour-tour-tourname.js.

Test tour code walkthrough

It demonstrates multiple approaches to the description, either inlined completely, inlined but parsed from wikitext (gt.parseDescription), and parsed from a dedicated page (gt.getPageAsDescription). For an actual tour, you can use one option for all steps (simplest), or use different options for different steps.
