Edit Check: clarify terminology
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Currently, terminology is being used in ways that conflict.

  • edit check = feedback on content authored in the current edit session
  • edit suggestion = feedback on content loaded from the published article

vs

  • edit check = high-priority feedback (i.e. reporting issues that would likely lead to reversion)
  • edit suggestion = lower-priority feedback

This reflects multiple underlying intents about configuration:

  • For content authored in the current edit session, default to low verbosity so as not to overwhelm the editor. This means reporting only high-priority issues
  • For content loaded from the published article, by default set verbosity to zero. This means not reporting on any issues at all.
  • In either case, enable a way to increase verbosity. This means reporting on issues not reported by default.

Done

  • Agree on a standard definition of edit check and edit suggestion
  • Define other terms needed for the discussion of configuration intents
