Background goal
This task holds the work of finalizing the copy that will appear within the Paste Check user experience.
The Editing Team will prioritize work on this task after we conduct an initial set of usability tests with newcomers so that we are:
- Thinking about the copy within the context of the UX we're preparing to evaluate through a controlled experiment (T399669)
- Including findings from the usability tests we're venturing to run in (T400622)
NOTE: We will just update the copies in the card and declining survey of the Mid-edit moment.
Requirements
Event logging
What – if any – links we end up including in the card copy will need to have logging associated with them.
WARNING: @MNeisler to propose event name once copy is finalized.
User experience
Based on the findings from T400622: Usability test for Paste Check new flow, we will need to:
- Update the copy in the initial card:
- Use a friendlier tone in the message (e.g. “please don’t” instead of “do not”).
- Mention potential consequences for publishing copied content (e.g. account could be blocked).
- Explains that rephrasing or citing don't resolve the pasted content issue (previously being worked in T403065)
- Update the decline survey card:
- Clarify what “other editors” means. Are they editors of the same article or in general?
- Add a definition/link/tooltip to explain copyright and plagiarism terms in the survey.
