Create a guided tour about accessing a StructuredDiscussions Topic page for the first time on Mediawiki

Mediawiki provides an extension called StructuredDiscussions (sometimes also called 'Flow'). That extension is a bit different that the traditional talk pages used on Mediawiki. That new system may confuse people experienced with Mediawiki. This is why we plan to provide a so-called "Guided tour" for users who are new to StructuredDiscussions.

Such tours are provided by a MediaWiki extension which is also called GuidedTour. Please also check out existing Guided Tour examples to get a better idea how it works.

This tour has 6 steps detailed in the Phabricator task. Each step has to be translatable through translatewiki.net into other languages so you'll also have to add translation support.

You are expected to provide a patch in Wikimedia Gerrit. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial for how to set up Git and Gerrit.
