This task involves the work with inviting Senior Contributors who are active at fr.wiki to review the first "Edit Check" the Editing Team is proposing to introduce and the assumptions/thinking that informed it.
Objectives
- Learn:
- What – if any – ways experienced volunteers can anticipate the initial Edit Check [i] going wrong/being disruptive
- How – if at all – the initial set of rules the Editing Team is thinking will cause Edit Check to be activated [ii][iii] aligns with when/how experienced volunteers at fr.wiki expect references to be added
- What – if anything – about the way in which the Editing Team is thinking volunteers will configure Edit Check to become more effective over time runs counter to what they would expect
- Inform:
- Experienced volunteers about the scope of the Edit Check project [ii], the challenges it is meant to address [iv]
