Description

At the moment, MediaWiki:Tag-editcheck-references-activated uses MediaWiki:Editcheck-falsepositives-link, which goes to mediawikiwiki:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/False positives, the false positive page. It is counterintuitive, as it denotes that something went wrong with the tagged edit.

It should go first to mediawikiwiki:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit_check#ref, which explains what References Check is, and then offer a False positive page report link. When False positives will not be anymore a thing, or when they will be moved to another type of task, moving the link at Mediawiki.org will be easier.

Verified. (Also, this is the old tag we've not been applying for a year anyway.)
