Description

The indicators and messages provided by WikibaseQualityConstraints draw a user's attention to issues that should be fixed. When they make an edit that fixes these issues, it's reasonable to expect that the error should go away. On desktop, this happens as expected. Currently in MEX, the errors persist regardless of whether they are fixed.

Additionally, if a violation is introduced by an edit, the user gets no indication of this until the page is refreshed.

Acceptance Criteria

after saving an edit that corrects a violation, that violation is removed.
after saving an edit that introduces a violation, an indicator and message about it is added.
Test coverage should be implemented.

AudreyPenven_WMDE moved this task from The Board to Ready for Task Time (Story Writing) on the Wikidata-Omega board.

AudreyPenven_WMDE edited projects, added Wikidata-Omega; removed Wikidata-Omega (The Board).

Note that WBQC makes two constraint check requests after every edit: one for just the statement that was edited, so that it can quickly show updated results there, and one for the whole entity, so that all statements will have their violations updated in time (e.g. an “entity requires statement” constraint violation on another statement might have been fixed by this edit).
