This task involves the work of defining how volunteers (likely those who are experienced with editing) can both:
- Provide feedback about Peacock Check when they notice it behaving in ways that they do not think align with what Wikipedia policies and guidelines prescribe
- Learn more about the feature itself
For Reference Check, we made it so people could tap the editcheck-references-shown tag and be taken to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Edit_check/False_positives.
Although, for reasons @Trizek-WMF articulated in T353726, this approach could benefit from improvement.
Story
- As an occasional user, or a user discovering the Tone check tag, I want to know in a quick way what the "Tone check" tag stands for.
- As a user curious about how Tone check works, I want to be able to learn about Tone check in depth
- As a user who wants to improve the functioning of Wikipedia, I want to be able to report an issue related to Tone check, should it be
- a bug that target the feature
- an improvement for the model used to detect tone issues
- As the Tone check feature maintainer, I want to make sure that users can discover the feature and contact us.
- As a Mediawiki patroller, I want to limit the number of pages I have to perform reverts on
Requirements
Approach
Users should follow a unified path, that can be used for all checks:
- click on Check tag from a page history, diff, special:recentchanges, etc.
- arrive on a Help page presenting the feature page that is:
- centralized - Mediawiki should be preferred, even if we can't prevent local communities from creating their own
- simple - a short presentation of the feature should come first, with more details in sub-sections
- tags used and their meaning
- check's configuration
- if applies, testing process
- translatable
- Exit ways:
- [if relevant] the user can go to a false-positive report page dedicated to the check
- Suggest terms that should trigger Tone check
Using a sub-page of the main page for false positives can diminish the number of false reports.
