In T324734, we conducted an //initial// review of the Edit Check reference heuristic that T324730 introduced.
This task involves the work of making some initial adjustments/improvements to said heuristic to reduce the likelihood that Edit Check would present newcomers with an invitation to include a reference within the edit they're making when a reference might not be necessary (read: refinements to reduce the likelihood of false positives).
=== Requirements
NOTE: the changes below ought to apply to **both** the logic Edit Check uses to determines whether it ought to be activated within a given edit as well as the logic that determines whether the `editcheck-references` tag is appended to an edit.
|Objective|Adjustment required
|---|---
|Decrease likelihood reference Edit Check appears when people are attempting to publish **copy edits**| Do not trigger Edit Check or append the `editcheck-references` tag when an edit involves content being removed that is adjacent to new content being added
|Decrease the likelihood that the reference Edit Check appears when people are attempting to publish changes to **image captions**|Do not consider changes to image captions as warranting Edit Check being activated
|Decrease likelihood reference Edit Check appears when people are attempting to publish **edits to tables**|Do not consider changes to tables as warranting Edit Check being activated
|Decrease likelihood reference Edit Check appears when people are attempting to publish **edits to lists**|Do not consider changes to liss as warranting Edit Check being activated
