This task involves the work with introducing an Edit Check that would prompt people to consider whether the text they're pasting into an article is at risk of a copyright violation.
=== Stories
1. As an **experienced volunteer/moderator** motivated to ensure that Wikipedia's text, "...may be freely redistributed, reused and built upon by anyone...",[i][ii] I want everyone contributing new text content in the main namespace to consider whether what they're contributing is copy-written so that I can reduce the likelihood of me needing to do so myself.
2. As **someone who is new** and motivated to contribute – what I consider to be – valuable + missing knowledge to Wikipedia, I want to know what I'm contributing adheres to relevant policies and conventions, so that I, and other people, can access this knowledge across time.
=== User experience
//The Editing Team is exploring a range of "resolution pathways"//

=== Requirements
=== Open questions
1. Who (logged in, logged out, experience level, etc.) will this check be made available to by default?
2. What conditions will determine wether the Copyvio is activated on paste?
-- //E.g. amount of content being pasted, where the content is being pasted from (e.g. external/internal domain), whether the pasted content is wrapped in quotation marks, etc.//
3. How much content will someone have had to paste in order for this Check to become activated?
4. In what cases (if any) will we suppress the Paste Check prompt? //See T376306 for more context.//
