Requirements
Open questions
- What wikis will this change impact?
- Note: per what @MNeisler and I talked about on 31 October 2024, we think there is value in creating a group of wikis that retain the existing Reference Check UX so that we retain the option of running a multi-variate test in the future (TICKET) that enables us to compare: A) People who experience the first iteration of the Reference Check UX, B) People who experience the 2nd iteration of the Reference Check UX, and C) People who experience multiple Reference Checks within a single edit.
- @MNeisler and I have decided to revise the above. Rather than creating a group of wikis that retain the existing Reference Check UX, we're going to deploy this new Edit Check UX (desktop) to all wikis. Reason being: we do not see a future wherein the current UX will be retained seeing as how it won't scale to accommodate multiple Edit Checks. Further, if we do end up needing to compare the impact of this new UX against the current state, we can use the Reference Check A/B Test results as a point of reference.
