Guided tours is being automatically (without tour=test) on several pages at pt.wikipedia. For me, it's mostly on special pages, when opening a special page, sometimes it's loaded with guidetour, but withou the ?tour=test on url. There has been reported the same behavior on local main page. I've noticed today for the first time, and seems a random behavior. Sometimes it shows, other times it doesn't, and sometimes a simple click on the page throws gt out, while there has been cases where it would be needed to close it properly.

Special pages like RecentChanges, or... ? If you give me some examples I can test more accurately. You shouldn't be getting the test tour automatically at all, unless someone is doing something locally in common.js or adding the tour parameter to a link somewhere. However, if you've ever forced the test tour personally, it will persist across pages unless you dismiss it, so testing in incognito mode or after clearing your cookies will help figure out if this is a valid bug or not.
It happened across several special pages like * http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:P%C3%A1ginas_vigiadas * http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Filtro_de_abusos * http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Prefer%C3%AAncias As far as i remember i haven't used the guided tour for some days, and i've cleaned the cookies, but i'll make some more tests to find out if it's on any link i've clicked and report back if not.

I tested this, and the only way I could get the tour to appear is to manually start it by adding ?tour=test to any of the above URLs. Clicking X and/or completing the tour cleared the related cookie and the tour stopped appearing.
Okay, I haven't heard anything more about this and couldn't replicate it, so I'm going to assume it's not a persistent problem.
