Is code needed if you refer to a "mockup", or just some images?
The scope is rather unclear to me, and also when this task would be considered "resolved". Plus missing steps (URLs) for a contributor how to see what Guided Tour is and how it works...

I wasn't involved in proposing this task, but I am an engineer working on GuidedTour (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GuidedTour)

I think the point is to show which aspects of the Wikisource interface the guiders (steps of a tour) will point to. It should also show the text of each guider, and the buttons.

In my view, the mockup does not have to be realistic or contain code (mockups don't contain code by the common definition). It can simply be a wireframe, showing what text and buttons go where. Bearing that in mind, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:GuidedTour shows how guiders look in the wild (so the contributor knows the structure of how the user experience).

I am available to help potential contributors set up GuidedTour (I am superm401 on IRC).

To be clear, this isn't required to do the mockup.

Apologies for not updating the bug. A student has already completed this task and the task has been marked as closed on Melange. I have uploaded the work submitted by the student. @Matthew, you might want to review the uploaded work.

I haven't talked to anyone from Wikisource about it thus far (they may have other priorities than the items listed here, etc.). But it's a reasonable first mockup of a tour.
