I'm a bit curious as to what this bit means:

"Travelling to Wimbledon by Tram using Oyster

You must touch in at the start of your tram journey and touch out at the
gate when leaving Wimbledon station (or on one of the card readers on
Platform 1 - 4 if transferring to the Tube)

Do not touch your card on the yellow reader adjacent to the manual gate
when leaving the station."

What is the difference between "the gate when leaving Wimbledon station"
and "the manual gate when leaving the station"?

The readers on the automatic gates are set to "exit only". The reader
by the manual gate (big black gate at the side, used for people with
luggage, wheelchairs, etc) is set for "exit only" while the gate is
closed, and "entry or exit" while the gate is open.

Presumably, if you touch the reader in "entry or exit" mode, its logic
decides you are making an entry, and creates a new Tube journey.
