The initial Edit Check the Editing Team is implementing is being designed to increase the likelihood that people will accompany the new content they are adding with a reference.
To evaluate the extent to which Edit Check is being successful in causing people to do the above, we will need a way to count, in aggregate/at-scale, the edits people make that do and do not include references.
=== Stories
- **As a Data Scientist** motivated to evaluate the impact of Edit Check, I need to be able to differentiate between edits in which people added references from edits in which people have //not// added references, so that I can evaluate Edit Check's impact on peoples' likelihood to accompany the new content they are adding with a reference
- **As a volunteer** motivated to assess the impact the initial Edit Check is having on peoples' likelihood to include references when adding new content, I need to be differentiate between edits in which people added new content that are accompanied by a reference from edits in which people added new content that are //NOT// accompanied by a reference, so that I can decide whether it's worth proposing changes to the heuristic that will have been initially defined in T324730
=== Requirements
🚧 TBD 🚧
=== Open questions
- [ ] What – if anything – beyond the software detecting that someone added a //new// reference in the edit they are saving should cause this new edit tag to be added to said edit? //E.g. does the edit *also* need to involve someone adding new content?//
