Reference Check is enabled, by default, using [the default configurations](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Edit_check/Configuration):
```{
"addReference": {
"minimumCharacters": 50,
"beforePunctuation": false,
"account": false,
"maximumEditcount": 100,
"ignoreSections": [],
"ignoreLeadSection": false
}
}```
=== Done
- [x] Deployment proposal is published | T413455
- [x] @Sdkb documents any concerns volunteers raise
- [x] @ppelberg decides what (if any) concerns are high enough priority to warrant being addressed before deployment
-- I'm (Peter) not aware of any concerns being raised that warrant delaying the deployment.
- [ ] Editing Engineering deploys config to make Reference Check available by default to newcomers at en.wiki
-- //Note: we assume volunteers will make any changes to the Check's default configurations should they see a reason to do so.//
