T324733 introduced an edit tag (editcheck-reference) to identify edits that meet the Edit Check heuristic.

T342462 revised the meaning of the editcheck-reference tag.

This ticket is asking us to re-introduce the functionality/meaning editcheck-reference previously held by way of a creating a new tag.

Story

As someone (e.g. members of the Editing Team and volunteers) motivated to ensure that Edit Check is likely to prompt people to add references in cases where references are in fact needed, I need be able see the edits (on a per project basis) that meet the criteria defined in T324730 so that I can propose adjustments to said criteria to minimize the rate of false positives and, eventually, false negatives.

Requirements

1. A hidden change tag is appended/associated with all edits, regardless of the editing interface used to make said edits that meet the conditions from T324730:
   1. This hidden change tag should be called: reference-needed
   2. The logic that determines whether the change tag this task is describing needs to be able to be kept in sync with the logic that we're likely to iterate upon by way of T327959

Done

• All requirements are met
• mw:Edit_check/Tags is updated to reflect what we end up implementing in this ticket
