Link to use with Short URL?

Summary by IlseMul

@Mattflaschen-WMFhelped me fix the issue. I just needed to create this page and give it some text: http://wiki.neverendingrealms.com/index.php?title=Help:Guided_tours/guider

That solved my problem.

On my wiki I have Short URL (Manual:Short URL) implemented, which makes my wiki something like:

wiki/Main_Page

How do I go to the test link (and future other links) from here? At the moment nothing happens when I use, i.e. wiki/Special:AllPages?tour=test

Thanks for the help!

Please provide the full URL.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AllPages?tour=test works fine.

Ah, thanks for looking into this! I assume MW 1.29 is in beta at the moment?

What would I put into that page that I would create?

From that merger page: test tries to exercise all the main features, including the ability to get the content of a tour step from a page. However, not all wikis have this feature set up. Rather than needing to do a maintenance script to populate this and have wikis maintain it, we can just skip this step if it's not present.

How would I go about setting up this feature? Re-install and set a specific setting I may have skipped/not seen?

Thanks again for all your help!

You're right. I thought 1.29 had been released, but it's actually expected to be released this month.

You can put anything on the http://wiki.neverendingrealms.com/index.php?title=Help:Guided_tours/guider page. E.g. feel free to use "Guided tours allow you to walk users through the wiki, or part of the user interface." It will appear on the tour.

That's enough to fix it.

Perfect! Thanks :)
