You can currently hack this by adjusting the config to be impossible to fulfill (maximumEditcount: -1), but as we're considering deploying some checks disabled-by-default and toggleable via communities we should provide something that makes this explicit.
Stories
- As experienced volunteers who have come to agree that a particular Edit Check A) could benefit the project we contribute to or B) is causing disruption, I want to be able to turn individual edit checks on/off on a per project basis, so that I can increase the likelihood that people are publishing constructive edits.
- As a member of the Editing Team, I'd like to be able to deploy Edit Checks to all wikis by default and for their availability to be configurable on-wiki so that A) I do not need to hold the state of various configurations in my mind on an ongoing basis and B) volunteers can be empowered to decide what Checks are available based on the impact they are causing.
Requirements
- A new per-check config variable called enabled will be added.
- Editing MediaWiki:Editcheck-config.json and adding it to one of the check sections as enabled: false should stop that check from ever being shown. (Or enabled: true to turn on a check whose default state is disabled, though none of those currently exist.)
- ecenable=1/2 will still bypass this and enable the check, just how the account/editcount settings behave.
Done
- Requirements are implemented
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Edit_check/Configuration is updated to include this new configurable facet
