Introduce Suggestion Mode-specific dismiss survey
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

When you elect not to take an action Edit Check present to you, the interface presents you with a decline "survey."

This survey is meant to offer you opportunities to:

  • Inform the editors who will be reviewing the edit you might go on to publish context about why you elected not to make the improvement Edit Check thinks is warranted
  • Confirm the initial choice you made not to make the improvement Edit Check thinks is aligned with what you're intending/thinking

This task involves the work of becoming clear about the corresponding purpose for the survey that we will present when people elect not to act on an edit suggestion Suggestion Mode presents to them.

Event Timeline

I don't think we should do this for suggestions, because it makes them significantly less lightweight. Since you can choose whether or not to engage with suggestions in the first place, and they aren't blocking like pre-save checks are, a survey being present at all will reduce the amount of "dismiss" signals we get from users by making them more likely to just ignore suggestions and move on to publishing. This will give us less overall useful data about suggestion-effectiveness.

Per offline discussion, before prioritizing work on implementing a survey of this sort, we need to align on whether one is warranted.

For now, I think T401739 is a sufficient way to gather feedback. We can revisit the priority of implementing a mechanism of this sort in the context of default-on deployments (T414853).
