2. The default values we will set for the "configurable facets" "1." referes to
=== Configurable facets

|---|---|---
| Source of pasted content | HTML source, not a known document editor | //E.g. Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Libre Office, etc. See T376306//
| `minimumCharacters` | `50` | 50 is the default for add a reference, but we could set this higher
| `account` | `false` | Require a specific type of account status, e.g. `loggedin` or `loggedout`
| `maximumEditcount` | `100` | The maximum number of edits a user has before we stop showing the check
| ?Percent change | | The amount the paragraph is modified after which it is no longer consider a copyvio.
