After the implementation of T357806, we need to analyze how many prompts are missing after the insertion of the new message, and if we need to further strengthen the message and/or make required the insertion of a prompt.

Copying my comments from the parent task supporting a stronger nudge to provide the prompt, such as through gray text below the "Enter the prompt that was used" line with something like "Images without prompts are more likely to be deleted", a pop-up message if someone tries to proceed without entering a prompt, or an "I don't have the prompt available" box that you'd have to check to proceed without entering it.
Our problem is not that Commons lacks AI images and needs more of them (as it is with real photos). Rather, it's that Commons is being flooded with low-quality AI images without prompts and where it's often unclear what the images are even of. If you haven't read the discussion I linked above (T357806#9571029), you should to get a sense of this. As proposed, no one who is actually providing a prompt would have to make an extra click; the only people who would are those not providing a prompt. If having to make an extra click creates enough friction that someone decides not to complete the upload, that's no big loss to us — the image would have been significantly less valuable to us without the prompt, there's a high likelihood that someone careless enough to omit the prompt didn't put much effort into crafting it (resulting in a low-quality image), and if we do need an image in the area it's trivial to generate it. If the checkbox causes, say, a third of users who didn't initially provide the prompt to quit, a third to complete the upload without the prompt, and a third to provide the prompt, that's an excellent tradeoff.
Is there a particular benchmark for this? As a rough ballpark, I'd say that if more than 10% of uploads are missing prompts it'd be worth a gray text line, and if more than 15% are missing it'd be worth an "I don't have the prompt available" box or some other follow-up for editors who attempt to proceed without providing it.
With that said, for measures that don't impact editors who do initially provide the prompt, the actual tradeoff is how many editors who weren't going to provide the prompt such measures cause to quit. That metric is irrelevant to the percentage of uploads that are missing prompts, and will be impossible to know until we start implementing such measures.
