Summary

The CheckUser-UserInfoCard displays the count of created articles. We should change this to the count of all pages on wikis other than Wikipedias.

Background

• The CheckUser-UserInfoCard displays the count of created articles using "New articles: 123" where "123" is the number of created mainspace pages
  • However, the name for mainspace creations on wikis other than Wikipedias is not "articles".
  • At the same time, using the phrase "New main namespace pages" is quite wordy and we want to avoid the bullet point being too long for the user info card popup that has limited width
  • We could also consider "New content pages" but this may be ambiguous if a wiki considers "content" to be more than just the main namespace pages. For example, the file namespace on Wikimedia Commons would likely be considered "content"
• The count of articles created is used because the research suggested this as a useful bit of information for determining if a user is editing in good faith
  • This research may have been specific to Wikipedias, and in any case there are wikis like Wikimedia Commons where seeing the number of uploaded files is a better metric
• On wikis other than Wikipedias we can display the total number of pages created, so that we can use the phrase "New pages"

Acceptance criteria

• We no longer use the phrase "New articles" to display the number of main namespace creations on non-Wikipedias
• The "New articles" message has qqq.json documentation to indicate that it would only be used on Wikipedias
