For years, volunteers and staff have been exploring a question that's something like: How might we offer newcomers a workflow/experience that is effective in guiding them to publish new articles they are proud of and experienced volunteers (specifically, New Page Reviewers) consider fit to be published in Wikipedia?

This task attempts to build on this long lineage of thinking and work by exploring how/if the Edit Check system could be adapted and extended to enable this kind of article creation experience.

Ideas

Many of these ideas draw on what volunteers and staff have, over time, already suggested. Please add more as they come to mind

• Suggestions
  • Links
  • Images
  • Sections to add (depending upon article category)
  • Infobox
  • Short description
• Edit Checks
  • References (Reference Check)
  • Notability
    • per @Sdkb, perhaps volunteers could extend Reference Check to specify the min. number of reliable sources a draft must include for the article subject to be notable.
  • Tone (Peacock Check)
  • Copyvios (Paste Check)
  • Disambiguate links
  • Reference Reliability
  • Section threshold
