Hey! :) I ran into a problem in the Russian Wikipedia that newcomers perform the task of adding a link instead of some other one (https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=113859331). But I can't figure out which one, because I don't have easy access to the name of the task they are performing. Is it possible to add the name of the task to the tags, or divide the tasks by tags so that it is easy to keep track of the required task?

I think it would be a nice addition. We can use the same syntax we plan to use for structured tasks: NewcomerTask: Add a link.
Comment Actions
Impact: edits made via newcomer tasks can be found more easily
Risk: For unstructured tasks, the tag might not correspond to the actual edit (for example, if the user added a link while doing copyedit task, the tag would show NewcomerTask: Copyedit), although if the tag could be interpreted as indicating an entry point and not necessarily the types of edits made
What happens if we don’t do this task: status quo
Level of effort: low/medium
Decision maker: @MMiller_WMF

Thank you for this idea, @Iniquity, and for patrolling newcomer tasks on your wiki. I think the idea makes sense, and we're going to save it for a future time to work on, perhaps at a hackathon or other event.
