This task involves the work of deciding how we'll evolve the set of Edit Check tags to help us (volunteers and staff):
- See the full range of edits people publish in edit sessions where the Reference Check is shown
- Detect false positives. Read: identify edits where the Reference Check was shown when it does not make sense for it to have been.
Story
Background
editcheck-references-activated is implemented in such a way that the tag is appended to all published edits if, at any point, during said browser pageview the Reference Check was shown.
This approach is helpful in so far as it enables us to see the full range of edits people publish in response to seeing the Reference Check...even when the edits people end up publishing should not have caused the Reference Check to become activated in the first place.
This approach can also be confusing in so far as it can be difficult to differentiate between the following two cases:
- The Reference Check was shown when it shouldn't have been
- The Reference Check was shown as expected and in response, someone revised their edit in a way that makes it look like the Reference Check was shown in error
i. E.g. maybe someone decides to "back out" of the Reference Check workflow and remove the new content they were seeking to add.
