Stop including high revert risk edits as a source in Review Changes and add 'High revert risk' flag instead
Closed, ResolvedPublic3 Estimated Story Points

Description

Background:

For now, we are moving forward with 3 flags/signals for the review changes cards. The flags will be displayed within the Review Changes module. The flags will be presented in InfoChips at the bottom of the card.

Since our focus on this work has shifted towards introducing newer editors to the concept of reviewing the edits of others in general, and away from anti-vandalism specifically (for now), we would like to remove the 'high revert risk' source of edits from Review Changes. We're going to show users edits from other sources instead.

To clarify - this means not filtering recent changes on high revert risk to list in Review Changes. Not "hide edits that have high revert risk" - we'll now be flagging those instead.

Flag:

One of the three flags in the Review Changes modules will include a “High Revert Risk” flag. Changes that were flagged as high revert risk.

Acceptance criteria

  • High Revert Risk edits are no longer a source of edits specifically displayed in the Review Changes module
  • In the Review Changes module, when an edit has a Revert Risk score high than the threshold defined in wmf-config/ext-ORES for this wiki, a 'High revert risk' infochip is shown for that edit.
  • If a wiki is not configured to use Revert Risk in Recent Changes, no check is made.

Event Timeline

We'll tackle this one first, and use it to build out capability for flags in general - so if something can be generic to support other flags please make it generic!

This should ideally happen after T423871, so that we have more recent edits to display to a user, before removing a large source of edits.

The first half of this task (not filtering by high revert risk) was implemented by @MusikAnimal in r1338088 and will be merged soon.

In the meantime, I'll be working on the second half (flagging edits with an infochip) and will push up a patch to the Gerrit relation chain soon.
