==Suggestions==

== Copyvio/close paraphrasing check ''before'' publishing ==

I saw you asked for this interesting page to be proofread on the help desk, so:

*In the spellchecking section, there is a live spellchecker; (it spellchecks the recent changes) [[User:Lupin/Anti-vandal tool]] (which you have further down the page)

Current arrangement does not warn the user of the possibility of copyright infringement or Wikipedia standards of close paraphrasing problems until after the fact, which is embarrassing at best, and at worst has cost us a lot of potentially good contributors who are not used to the over the top requirements on Wikipedia. We need a way to specify a source and check if an edit is compliant before saving. Cheers, · · · [[User:Pbsouthwood|Peter Southwood]] [[User talk:Pbsouthwood|^(talk)]]: 11:10, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

*You should link the individual entries in the section "Searching Wikipedia from the internet"

: {{ping|Pbsouthwood}} &nbsp; In perplexity.ai, type this: "free plagiarism checker that catches paraphrasing as well". When I typed that in, it listed several. Are those what you had in mind? <span class="nowrap">&nbsp;&nbsp; &mdash; ''[[User talk:The Transhumanist|The&nbsp;Transhumanist]]''&nbsp;&nbsp; </span> 16:10, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

*I think the signatures section should be expanded to be more understandable (like tell them to tick raw signature and link to [[WP:SIG]])

::Not really, those require that you manually upload your new content to an outside agent for the check. I would like it to be done automatically through the Wikipedia editor by clicking on an option from within the editor, ideally the option of setting it as a default, but I would guess that would be computationally heavy.

I understand this page is still under construction but it already looks really helpful, not just for new users. Good job.

::Additional useful option would be to specify source(s), which should reduce computational load by orders of magnitude. &middot; &middot; &middot; [[User:Pbsouthwood|Peter Southwood]] [[User talk:Pbsouthwood|^(talk)]]: 07:30, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

== Green redirects ==

Green redirects are helpful, yes, but with [[User:Anomie/linkclassifier]] you also get red borders on non-free images, yellow shading on links to disambiguation pages, and pink colouring of links to pages tagged for deletion. I recommend it! -- [[User:John of Reading|John of Reading]] ([[User talk:John of Reading|talk]]) 17:52, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
