Description

This task involves the work of updating Help:Edit check to include information about Paste Check.

As someone who notices the editcheck-paste-shown tag "attached" to an edit I am reviewing and is curious to know what this tag means, I want to be able to tap on it and find the information I need to understand it.

Done

A new section titled "Paste Check" is created on mw:Help:Edit_check that contains information about the feature:

@ppelberg @Trizek-WMF Hello! I've added https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Edit_check#paste - feel free to edit, or let me know of inaccuracies.

Regarding A screenshot of the feature (mobile):
The mobile flow's card copy appears to be outdated on Figma, so I used @bmartinezcalvo's File:Paste Check user experience July 2025.png for now.

Excellent! What you published looks wonderful to me, @ldelench_wmf.
