Decide how – if at all – to tag edits Paste Check was activated within
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

This task involves the work of deciding:

  1. If we'll tag edits Paste Check was activated within
  2. How we'll tag these edits, if we decide to move forward with doing so

Stories

  • As an experienced volunteer motivated to maintain the quality of content available on Wikipedia, I want to be able to identify edits that involve people adding new text they pasted from another source, so that I can review these edits mindful of the copyvio risks it might carry.
WARNING: if we move forward with introducing a tag of this sort, we need to think carefully about how/if to inform people who are editing that the changes they are making are being tagged in this way.
