Limit description editing to 5 anonymous edits before requiring login.
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

When an anonymous user attempts to edit more than 5 descriptions, we shall show a message and require the user to log in before making any further description edits.

  • This only needs to be a simple dialog box with the text: "Please log in to Wikipedia to edit more descriptions, so that your edits will be saved with your account."
  • The dialog box will have buttons of "Log in", which will take the user to the Login activity, and "Cancel", which will do nothing (and prevent description editing from starting).

Though depending on drop-off rate, we may later want to add some additional explanation as to why login is needed after X edits.
