Why (Context & Decision)
Background:
Wikidata has always been a target for search engine optimization but it seems to be increasing significantly recently. People seem to be led to Wikidata as the place to anchor their entity to be accessible in generative AI answers etc. To help ensure promotional editing is being spotted and properly acted upon, a revert risk model has been created. The analytics team would like to support this work and provide metric monitoring for the Revert Risk Model usage and impact to this overall topic.
