This raises questions:

• Where would we store this?
• Who would be allowed to see the stored answers?
• If the answers are publicly displayed anywhere, what's the moderation story for them? (abuse, personal identification, etc)

Currently we store the answers to these surveys by logging an event to the VisualEditorFeatureUse schema, in which we have absolutely no way to store any sort of free-text input. In the add-reference check we used to add revision tags as well (see: T342460 for storage discussions), but don't any more.

This shouldn't be treated async from T397969: Present Check decline reason within diffs, as multi-check could list several "other" reasons, which will need to be attached to specific elements within the diff.

Meta: I'm broadening the scope of this ticket seeing as how patrollers/reviewers have expressed interest in this capabiltiy being offered within Paste Check as well.

From the last Editing meeting:

• For the reasons mentioned above in this task (mainly difficulties in reviewing that input), we would not offer a text area for "Other".
• The copy will "None of the above applies" instead of "Other".

We understand that reviewers might express an interest in having more context about the editor's intent, but we are limited in that capacity. Exploring this text field option is above the scope of the initial iteration of Paste check.
