For years, volunteers and staff have been exploring a question that's something like: **How might we offer newcomers a workflow/experience that is effective in guiding them to publish new articles they are proud of and experienced volunteers (specifically, New Page Reviewers) consider fit to be published in Wikipedia?**
This task attempts to build on this long lineage of thinking and work by exploring how/if the Edit Check system could be adapted and extended to enable this kind of article creation experience.
=== Ideas
//Many of these ideas draw on what volunteers and staff have, over time, already suggested. !!Please add more as they come to mind!!//
- Suggestions
-- Links
-- Images
-- Sections to add (depending upon article category)
-- Infobox
- Edit Checks
-- References (Reference Check)
-- Notability
--- //per @Sdkb, perhaps volunteers could extend Reference Check to [specify the min. number of reliable sources](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sdkb/Vision_for_a_better_Article_Wizard) a draft must include for the article subject to be notable.//
-- Tone (Peacock Check)
-- Copyvios (Paste Check)
-- Disambiguate links
-- Reference Reliability
--
=== Background
//By no means an exhaustive list...//
