User scripts are the JavaScript programs that provide Wikipedia users the ability to customize and change the behavior of their user account. Numerous user scripts and gadgets are available for users to install quickly. Users can also write their user scripts by either starting from scratch or forking an existing user script.

Even though MediaWiki has excellent documentation on user scripts, it’s overwhelming. Owing to the powerful functionalities that user scripts provide, one should easily get started with them. Guided Adventure Tours is one such medium that can enable amateur developers and users with a little bit of JavaScript knowledge to learn about them in an interactive way.

This project is about creating a UserScript/Gadget guided tour to facilitate users to learn about user scripts and how they are created using fundamental constructs such as MediaWiki JS Module, MediaWiki Action API, and OOUI, sequentially.
