New users aren't starting the discobot tutorial

Even here on meta, only 31 out of 29,800 users have completed the advanced tutorial. That’s 0.1% of users.

Something seems wrong. Could it be there’s no instructions – even more so with the advanced tutorial – on how to begin it?

  1. Despite my personal presumptions, @discobot does not say anything about the advanced tutorial after completing the basic tutorial.
  2. There is no new personal message started automatically at any point about the advanced tutorial.
  3. The system-provided badge descriptions don’t say how to start it, nor can they be edited by admins.

I would bet that any of these things would very quickly increase completion rates. And this is actually a testable theory. :slight_smile:
