Expand the Reference Reliability check to include a wider range of sources
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

T347435 and T347531 present people with feedback when they attempt to add a source that exists on a given project's Special:BlockedExternalDomains page within the 2010 wikitext editor and visual editor (mobile/desktop) respectively.

This task involves the work of expanding the URLs/sources people would receive reliability feedback about. Specifically, if we consider T347435 and T347531 to be about blocking people from publishing a defined set of domains, this ticket asks us to consider how we might offer people feedback (read: warn/inform) about sources they are not blocked from published and experienced volunteers are likely to question how reliable they are.

Note: I created a new tab to the "References people cite when adding new content" dashboard ("February-March 2024 Reference Check Available", which includes an updated snapshot of the references added by new content edits at the wikis where the AB test was run. You can use the filter "was reference check shown" to review the types urls and domains published by edits shown this prompt.

This data can be used to help investigate the types of domains and urls being included in published edits still reverted after being shown reference check

Oh, this is spectacular, @MNeisler! I can see it being immediately useful for T348060: Expand the Reference Reliability check to include a wider range of sources.

Specifically, I can see us sharing this data with volunteers and empowering them to decide what – if any – domains they would like to provide people attempting to cite them feedback about...
