I set ignoreLeadSection to true in this match configuration on this patchdemo. I found that the lead section was still included. I then added the same setting on the whole check, and found that the lead section was ignored by the check as expected.

Impact

This ticket is blocking the parent task, deploying British English suggestions/checks to enwiki

Done

• TextMatchEditCheck reflects ignoreLeadSection (on main branch)

Timeline

We're consulting with community about word lists, so this isn't on the critical path but it would be preferable to handle it beforehand to avoid having to explain this difference to users.
