Hello The Editing team works on a new check <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Edit_check>: *Peacock check*.
The goal is to detect when a user adds promotional or non-neutral wording to their Wikipedia edit: the visual editor would advise them to change their text for better terms. The final goals are: - to have more qualitative edits being published, - to have fewer edits being edited or reverted by experienced editors, - newcomers who learn about encyclopedic wording. As we plan to use a model <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning#Models> to identify these terms, we are compiling "signals" used on Wikipedia for edits/sentences/paragraphs/sections/articles/etc. that contain non-neutral language. We are looking in particular for: - templates used to tag articles or elements within articles that are promotional or not neutral, - jargon and terms used in edit summaries when one edits or removes promotional or non-neutral language, - policies communities refer to when they explain what neutrality is. We target the following Wikipedias: en, fr, de, es, ja, ru, pt, it, zh, fa, pl, ar, nl, uk, ro, id, he, no, he, tr, cs. To participate, please edit the following Phabricator task to directly add your language: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T389445 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T389445>, or you can respond to me directly. If you have any questions, please let me know! :) All the best, Benoît -- Benoît Evellin - Trizek (he/him) Senior Movement Communications Specialist (Product & Tech) Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/>
