When we first deployed the welcome survey, we included a box on the screen that explains about editing Wikipedia and gives a "Tutorial" and "Help desk" link. We did this because we had no other features that helped newcomers find either of those things. Now that we have the help panel and newcomer homepage, we no longer want newcomers following those links -- we want them to complete the survey and find their homepage, where both those links exist.
But without those two links, it's unclear whether we even need that box and the text inside. So there are two things to figure out:
# How many newcomers click one of those two links? If this number is high, we might reconsider whether to remove these links. We might also learn that one of the calls to action is more compelling than the other. This is a question for @nettrom_WMF.
# Do we need this box at all, or should we use it for a different purpose? This is a question for @RHo.
