Description

This task involves the work of updating mw:Edit check/Deployment Status so that any person in the Movement can easily understand:

The Edit Checks and Edit Suggestions that are currently implemented
What wiki(s) each Edit Check and Suggestion is available on
How the each Edit Check and Suggestion is enabled
- E.g. default-on, as part of an ongoing A/B experiment, URL parameter/gadget/script, or beta feature.
Where people can go to learn more about the Check/Suggestion

Stories

As a member of the Movement who is curious to know what Edit Checks and Suggestions are currently available and where (and for whom they are available), I'd value there being a single place where I can find this information, so that I am equipped with the context I need to potentially contribute to this work and not need to look in a range of places each time I am curious to know where the work currently stands.

Requirements

The table that exists within the == Deployment status == section of mw:Edit check/Deployment status is updated to include the information required to understand points 1-4 listed above.

ppelberg added a parent task: T402242: Define suggestions to include in Suggestion Mode MVP.Thu, Jan 22, 8:22 PM

I'll have to check back with @ppelberg about whether all he wanted was a raw list, but here's a quick look at what's on the main branch (by configuration name):

editchecks $ grep -R "static.name = \'" * | sed -e "s/.*= \'\(.*\)\'.*/\1/" | sort

addReference
convertReference
disambiguation
duplicateLink
externalLink
imageCaption
paste
textMatch
tone

Of which, addReference, paste and tone are released, and the rest are "experimental".

On individual wikis this is [[Special:EditChecks]], but the task is also asking for how each different wiki is configured. The canonical source for this is to search https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=InitialiseSettings.php for "EditCheck".
