Suggested edits are a set of tasks defined by the Growth team and order by level of difficulty.
However, not all task are equivalent, from one wiki to the other. For instance, for the copyediting task, defined as a medium difficulty task by the Growth team, German Wikipedia thinks it is an easy one at their wiki.
The goal is to provide communities a better control of the kind of tasks they can provide to newcomers, as we already partially allow with Special:EditGrowthConfig.
I tested the following at test.wikipedia.org:
- edit MediaWiki:NewcomerTasks.json using the wikitext editor, to change a level of difficulty of Copyediting (moved to "hard")
- visit the Homepage: the task difficulty is sucessfully changed
- edit something else in the configuration using Special:EditGrowthConfig
- the difficulty level has ben reset.
