Check: Encourage respectful language in talk page messages
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

This task represents the work involved with introducing a nudge/hint/etc. of some sort that encourages people using the New Discussion Tool and/or Reply Tool to speak in a way that is civic/respectful to others.

This task is inspired by:

Story

As an editor who is motivated to improve Wikipedia and collaborate with others seeking to do the same, I want people who are starting new conversations on talk pages and/or commenting in existing ones to do so in ways that we, as a Movement, deem to be civil and respectful [i] so that the wikis can remain an environment all people can describe as, "...inclusive, welcome, safe, and harassment-free..." [ii]

Requirements

Mockups

Note: see T274832#7178086 for thoughts about how this might be integrated with the DiscussionTools interfaces.


i. Read: in ways that uphold the Universal Code of Conduct

Event Timeline

Other places doing this seem to be attempting to employ sentiment analysis of the message that's about to be posted. Do we have anything that'd help with that already?
