This page is a translated version of the page Help:Edit check and the translation is 17% complete.

Edit check is a tool in the visual editor that suggests improvements to Wikipedia articles before the edit is published. It can be configured locally by interface admins.

This page is meant to equip people who are seeking to understand, use, and/or contribute to the Edit Check project with the information and resources they need to do so.

Several features are available within Edit Check:

Reference check

If you add a large amount of text without any citations, the reference check will remind you to add a citation. This only works for edits made using the visual editor. This check is shown when you click on the Publish button.

The reference check was introduced in late 2023. Please report problems on the talk page.

Testing Reference check

URL snippet

Edit any article in the main namespace using the visual editor.
- The feature is only available for articles.
Add &ecenable=1 to the URL in your browser.
- Example: https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soleil&veaction=edit&ecenable=1
Reload the page with the new URL.
Create a new paragraph, that is at least 50 characters long without adding a citation
Press the Δημοσίευση σε εξέλιξη...
Notice the prompt that appears
✅ Test is completed.
- Don't save your edit unless you know what you are doing!

Logged out mode

On Wikipedias where References check is deployed by default , you can test it while being logged out of your account (using the "incognito mode" in your browser, for instance). Adding a new paragraph with no reference to any article will show you References check.

Tone check

If you add promotional, derogatory, or subjective terms to a Wikipedia article, Tone check prompts you to consider “neutralizing” the tone of the edit.

This check uses a linguistic model to detect these terms. The model is evaluated by community members.

When a user adds a term that doesn't fit Wikipedia's guidelines, Tone check highlights the paragraph and offers to revise it. Users can also decline it.

All edits where Tone check is shown will be tagged when the editor publishes the change, no matter which action was taken. The goal is to allow experienced users to understand the context of the edit, and to verify if the tone fits the local policies.

Tone check is introduced as a test at a few wikis, mid-2025. Please report problems on the talk page.

Tone check Tags

We use the following tags in Recent Changes and Watchlist, so that users can identify edits where Tone Check was activated (shown).

editcheck-tone: "EditCheck detected a potential issue with the tone of some added content"; This tag is added when the model detected a potential tone issue. However, no information was shown to the user. This tag is used to measure how many Tone checks are detected.; This tag is hidden.

editcheck-tone-shown: Edit Check (tone) shown; "EditCheck thinks an adjustment to the tone in some content might have been needed, and the UI was shown"; The user was informed that a tone issue was detected.

Edit check/Tags

Tone check default configuration

Tone check uses the generic check configuration regarding whether the checks are shown to logged-in users and the experience level of users shown the check.

By default, Tone check is shown to all logged-out users, and to logged-in users with less than 100 edits.

Testing Tone check

Tone check can be tested on any wiki by starting a VisualEditor editing session in any article, and then appending ecenable=2 to the URL displayed in the location bar.

This will also activate other incomplete experimental checks and should not be considered representative of the overall Edit check experience.

To test Tone check:

Using the visual editor, open an article with ecenable=2 in the URL.
- For your convenience, you can use the links in the table below. They will open the Tone check test in the listed article.
Write a sentence that contains a term that would be considered as a tone issue: "the best", "the greatest", "fantastic", "lovely"...
Click elsewhere on the page, outside of the sentence you added.
Tone check is shown, asking to review the tone.

Whenever you test a new check, do not publish your changes unless you know what you are doing.

Possible test articles for Tone check

Έλεγχος Επικόλλησης

Εάν επικολλήσετε κείμενο σε ένα λήμμα κατά την επεξεργασία του, ο έλεγχος επικόλλησης σάς ζητά να εξετάσετε εάν το κείμενο που επικολλάτε ενέχει τον κίνδυνο παραβίασης πνευματικών δικαιωμάτων. This check is an effort to ensure alignment with the Movement's licensing policy.

Όταν ένας συντάκτης που ταιριάζει με αυτή την απαίτηση επικολλά τουλάχιστον 50 χαρακτήρες κειμένου από κάπου αλλού, ο Έλεγχος Επικόλλησης θα τους ζητήσει να επιβεβαιώσουν αν έγραψαν το περιεχόμενο. Στη συνέχεια, υπάρχουν δύο επιλογές:

Διατήρηση του κειμένου → ο χρήστης καλείται να εξηγήσει γιατί.
Αφαίρεση κειμένου - το κείμενο αφαιρείται.

Ο έλεγχος επικόλλησης θα ενεργοποιηθεί όταν το κείμενο επικολλάται από μια πηγή που δεν αναγνωρίζει ως άλλο περιβάλλον επεξεργασίας. Δεν θα εμφανιστεί εάν ο συντάκτης έχει επικολλήσει κείμενο το οποίο μπορούμε τεχνικά να αναγνωρίσουμε ως προερχόμενο από άλλη παρουσία οπτικού επεξεργαστή MediaWiki, MS Office, Libre Office, Google Docs ή ως απλό κείμενο.

Για αρχή, ο Έλεγχος Επικόλλησης θα λειτουργεί μόνο στον οπτικό επεξεργαστή.

Ετικέτα Έλεγχου Επικόλλησης

Χρησιμοποιούμε την ακόλουθη ετικέτα στις Πρόσφατες Αλλαγές και στη Λίστα Παρακολούθησης, για να επιτρέψουμε την αναγνώριση επεξεργασιών όπου εμφανίστηκε ο Έλεγχος Επικόλλησης: editcheck-paste-shown

Η ετικέτα θα είναι ορατή ακόμα και αν η τελική επεξεργασία δεν περιείχε κανένα προσκολλημένο κείμενο.

Προεπιλεγμένη διαμόρφωση ελέγχου επικόλλησης

Paste check's Edit check/Configuration#Generic check configuration determines whether the checks are shown to logged-in users and the experience level of users shown the check.

Κατά προεπιλογή, ο Έλεχος επικόλλησης θα εμφανίζεται στους συντάκτες που έχουν δημοσιεύσει 100 ή λιγότερες επεξεργασίες τοπικά.

Δοκιμή ελέγχου Επικόλλησης

Ο Έλεγχος επικόλλησης μπορεί να δοκιμαστεί σε οποιοδήποτε wiki χρησιμοποιώντας τον VisualEditor για την επεξεργασία ενός λήμματος και προσθέτοντας ecenable=2 στη διεύθυνση URL που εμφανίζεται στη γραμμή τοποθεσίας.

Αυτό θα ενεργοποιήσει επίσης άλλους ημιτελείς πειραματικούς ελέγχους και δεν θα πρέπει να θεωρείται αντιπροσωπευτικό της συνολικής εμπειρίας ελέγχου Επεξεργασίας.

To test Paste check:

Using the visual editor, open an article with ecenable=2 in the URL.
- Παράδειγμα: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brittany&veaction=edit&ecenable=2
Copy at least 50 characters of text from somewhere else on the web (e.g., a news website).
Paste the copied text into the visual editor.
Click elsewhere on the page, outside of the text you added.
Paste check is shown.

Whenever you test a new check, do not publish your changes unless you know what you are doing.

ecenable=2 can be used on the wikis where is its already available.

LLM Paste check

If you paste text from an LLM chat – e.g. ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini – into an article while editing, LLM Paste Check prompts you to:

rewrite the text in your own words,
fact-check all the details, including confirming that references are reliable and support the claim(s) being made,
familiarize yourself with any local policies/guidelines.

Some wikis have additional requirements, such as mentioning which LLM was used within your Edit summary. You should consult the local documentation for details.

There may be more local documentation available in your language via:

Communities can configure how Edit Check works at their wiki.

FAQ

How do you decide what Checks to build?

The Editing team prioritizes building Edit Checks that have the potential to reduce the likelihood that an edit someone publishes causes a negative consequence for:

The person making the edit
People who read Wikipedia
Experienced volunteers who work to make Wikipedia a resource people can depend on.

What editing interfaces is Edit Check being developed for?: To start, Edit Check is being developed for the visual editor on both mobile and desktop.
How does Edit Check and AbuseFilter relate? What are the distinctions between these two capabilities?: As of Ιούνιος 2025, Edit Check provides feedback when the editor clicks on "Publish changes...". This is where AbuseFiter is shown. The difference is that Edit Check offers feedback within the editing experience. The Editing team is also looking into the possibility of displaying checks during the editing experience. These checks would react to actions taken by the user. We also plan to display multiple checks within the editing experience, to highlight a few different improvements at once.

Reference Check is displayed when a new paragraph is added. Some published edits show some text and a citation being added to an existing paragraph, tagged for Reference Check. Why?: Edit Check is shown to the user who then add a new citation. Then, they can decide to change their edit before publishing, by merging it with an existing paragraph.

Some documentation refers to "multi-check". What is it?: In the first version of Edit Check, only one check was displayed at a time. Since then, the ability to display multiple checks (“multi-checks”) simultaneously has been added.
What is the next check you plan to work on?: Our next check is "Paste Check". You can submit your ideas for a new check on our Ideas page.
