This task involves the work of drafting and publishing an announcement about Paste Check that includes information about both:
1. The proposed user experience
2. The controlled experiment the Editing Team is preparing to run to evaluate the feature's impact
=== Timline
Per what @Trizek-WMF, @MNeisler, and I (peter) discussed offline in separate conversations on 3 and 4 September, //ideally// the timeline for Paste Check will look like this:
|Milestone|Target Completion Date|Responsible|Status|Notes

=== Learning objectives
1. **User experience**: how – if at all – do experienced volunteers think the proposed user experience could either a) create more work for patrollers/reviewers or b) cause newcomers to publish edits that are //not// aligned with Wikipedia policies
2. **Controlled experiment**: what – if anything – do experienced volunteers think needs revising/discussion/etc. before the controlled experiment can begin?
=== Wikis
While we are interested in hearing from volunteers across all Wikipedias, the Editing Team will prioritize outreach to the wikis listed in T403680 first.
=== Requirements
- [ ] An announcement is drafted that we think will be effective at causing volunteers to offer the feedback we need to answer the questions described in the `Learning objectives` section above
- [ ] This announcement is published at the wikis listed/referenced in the `Wikis` section above
