Adjust user changes percentage calculation on SX to reflect initial changes
Open, MediumPublic

Description

From our discussion on T260128 it was defined that we needed to review how we calculate the user changes percentage.
Right now, if we change just one single character, it doesn't count, it still says "no edits by you".

Some possible solutions:

  • Adjust the approach for rounding when calculating the percentage. In this way a small change affecting 0.2% of the words will be represented as 1%. In this way we avoid the surprise of users making changes that the system does not apparently react to them.
  • Define a new message (e.g., "less than 1%" or "minimally edited") to distinguish from no changes when there are some changes not reaching 1% yet. Adding more states may increase complexity to interpret the status, so e may prefer the first approach if viable.
