⚠️ //This ticket needs more details from @ppelberg before it can be worked on//
To better understand how people are using #discussion-tools [1], we would like to create a new [change tag](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Tags) so people can easily filter Recent Changes feeds for edits made using #discussiontools features.
=== Uses cases
- Review the content of edits posted using the Replying and Starting new discussion workflows so we can detect bugs and developed a better understanding for how contributors are using the feature(s)
- Calculate aggregate DiscussionTools usage metrics
- Enable communities to understand how DiscussionTools are being used on their wiki
=== Considerations
- Planned features that would produce "taggable" edits: {T233446} + {T233443}
-- //Note: both features will have "source" and "rich text" input modes
=== Open questions
- [ ] How – if at all – should the text input mode (e.g. source vs. rich text) be tracked?
- [ ] Should there be one change tag for all edits made using #discussiontools?
- [ ] Should each #discussiontools feature (e.g. Replying) have its own tag?
- [ ] What should the change tag(s) be called?
- [ ] What maintenance burden do we inherit by introducing additional tags?
=== Done
On any wiki where DiscussionTools are deployed, people are able to use [Special:RecentChanges](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?hidebots=1&hidecategorization=1&hideWikibase=1&limit=500&days=7&enhanced=1&urlversion=2) to identify:
1. Edits made using DiscussionTools
2. Edits made using a specific DiscussionTool feature (e.g. T233446 or T233443)
3. Edits made using DiscussionTools and the input method they used to publish those edits (e.g. source vs. visual)
