== New Feature for the Visual Editor == The Editing Team is building a new feature for the visual editor. It is called Edit Check.

The goal is to encourage newcomers to add inline citations. It will also benefit to the whole community, as newcomers will be prompted to add citations before publishing a new information to an article.

Could you all try the initial version of the feature and share what you think? Testing instructions are below.

Why are we building this?

At the moment, anyone not aware of "please cite your sources" can edit an article, and add facts with no citations. The prompt to cite your sources is given when the editor you click on. It is quite late!

Some users apparently don't see, don't understand or just ignore this prompt. Some other think "I will come back later". In both cases, the chances to have their edits being reverted due to the lack of source is important. These reverts also take time from experienced users.

We are focusing our work on adding citations for now, but we can imagine many different types of prompts in the future!
