Similarly to how we did on T236968: Newcomer tasks: hidden preference, we want our ambassadors to be able to test out guidance in production wikis before exposing it to all users. Since guidance won't have its own user preference option the way that help panel and homepage do, we want to make a hidden preference so that engineers can turn the feature on for specific users in specific wikis.
