As soon as this new tag is available, @Dyolf77_WMF and I want to take a set of diffs to the French and English Wikipedias to see what they think of the result.

I've updated the task description to reflect the outcomes the Editing Team converged on during the team's 7 June meeting.

Below is a list of the decisions we converged on during that meeting.

Before that, @MNeisler, can you please give the task description a read and share if you see anything missing/unexpected? I'm asking you specifically because I removed the following from the task description and wanted to make sure that in doing so I didn't change the meaning of something: ...with this exception of any check if the new text include a reference.

7 June Meeting Decisions

• To start, the tags this ticket and T332848 will introduce will be limited to edits people make using the visual editor.
  • Reasons: more straightforward to implement + at this time, these tags are not intended as general purpose of pieces of information. Rather, they're narrowly designed to answer questions related to Edit Check (e.g. T332848).
• To start, the heuristic used to detect new content in this context will match the heuristic Edit Check uses (T324733) so that we can make comparisons

@ppelberg
The updates to the task description look good to me. To confirm my understanding, this new tag will use the same conditions for the editcheck-references tag (as defined in T324733 and T324730) except for the following. This new tag (editcheck-newcontent) will only:

• Apply to edits made with the visual editor
• Will not check whether a new reference was added as part of the edit in question.

Is that correct?

What you described is correct, @MNeisler – thank you for reviewing and confirming.
