- @Omar102: This is a great idea! Unfortunately, we've looked into this before and it's just not feasible to run the copyright-detecting system at the time when a page is saved. It's too time-consuming. However, we do have the CopyPatrol tool, which ensures that all edits are (after saving) checked for plagiarism. — SWilson (WMF) (talk) 02:37, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
