Ankan_WMF added a comment to T316151: Manually evaluate section-level image suggestions.

In bnwiki,

  • Most of the suggestions were like 2019 in India, or the cast section of a film, or the list of universities in Ivy League type article, where just a list of names (of actors/players/award winners/scientists) are listed.
  • For a few cases, the suggested image was already present in the infobox (e.g., Zeid bin Hussein)
  • I selected unsure for an image, where the section contained a redirect to another article only. The suggested image was indeed relevant, but the section didn't describe anything.
  • Only mentioning a topic in a section doesn't make the image of that topic relevant to the section, but this type of images were also suggested.
  • The image was suggested regarding the result of an election, and the prime minister, other ministers, were mentioned. However, the image was suggested for one person only (not the prime minister); which I think should not happen. I selected ""Section should not have an image".
  • The good fit images were generally suggested in a text-based article (almost never in a list-type one).
  • The number of suggested images were below 100 for bnwiki (I got repeated suggestions and selected some of them again, reaching around 60). Then I stopped as I kept getting suggestions for only two articles (গোয়া -- image and দুর্যোধন -- image) again and again.

Ankan_WMF added a comment to T294861: Experienced users being displayed as a result when you filter down your mentees in Recent Changes or Watchlist confuses some mentors.

@Urbanecm_WMF, as a threshold, 500 edits and 30 days of activity is fine. But we can also consider adding a revert rate/number of block threshold. For example: if the revert rate for a newly experienced user is above 5% (or the expected average), then despite crossing the threshold, that contributor will not be out of the list. We can consider removing the editors from the list when they have passed the threshold. And if an editor gets blocked in the meantime, then we can consider setting a new threshold (1000 edits and 90 days, or something similar?).

Ankan_WMF added a comment to T290785: Add an image: edit business rules.

@MMiller_WMF, in bnwiki:

  • Placing an image below the templates but immediately above content is the custom, like enwiki.
  • In Bangla, it is: [[চিত্র:test.png|থাম্ব|Test caption]]. I mean, "File"="চিত্র" and "Thumb"="থাম্ব"। The English keywords work as well, but it is appreciated/expected using the Bangla ones. I shall suggest using local keywords.

Ankan_WMF added a comment to T283985: Add Link: word substrings are turned into links.

Similar situation in bnwiki, wherein this link suggestion, the algorithm correctly suggested the article but added an undesirable <nowiki> tag after accepting it. The word in the article is "কোরআনের", and after accepting the suggestion it should be "[[কুরআন|কোরআনের]]" (instead of adding the nowiki tag). A mentor notified me and said that he had seen a similar scenario before too.

@Ankan_WMF Do you have one or two example articles where you observed the suggestions you mention above. We have made some changes to the model based on your feedback (T279434) and would like to check manually whether this resolves the issue or not or creates new problems (before deploying). Thanks.

@Trizek-WMF @Dyolf77_WMF @Urbanecm_WMF @Ankan_WMF @PPham -- I've gotten some additional feedback that we should shorten the edit summary and remove the counts for rejected and skipped. It would be like: "4 links added via link suggestions feature". What do you think? Or is it important to have the rejected and skipped counts?

Ankan_WMF added a comment to T283715: Add a link in bnwiki: algorithm improvements: articles are not being suggested at their first appearance.

I can reproduce that behaviour for the first example (article: ফ্রেড_বারাট, anchor: ইনিংস) . From what I can see this comes from the difference of the strings "ইনিংস" and "ইনিংসে".

"ইনিংস" is in our anchor-dictionary (other articles used this as an anchor). we are now looking if we can find that somewhere in the article using exact string-matching. According to this rule, mwaddlink finds the correct match. There are 3 possible anchors before that first occurrence as mentioned above, however, these are slightly different strings "ইনিংসে". Since this has a different encoding, we do not count this as a match.

@Ankan_WMF would you consider ইনিংস and ইনিংসে as the same word? (sorry, I am not familiar with the script). Do you have a suggestion how we could determine that both could be used? Is this similar to English, as an example, when we would have a known anchor "bridge" (with the article Bridge) but in the text we only find the word "bridges" -- in this particular case our algorithm would skip the word "bridges" since it is not an exact match with "bridge" and would miss those possibilities to link. There are some possibilities in English to deal with that (Stemming) though we are not applying this due to the fact that this is extremely language-specific. Perhaps there are similar approaches we could use for bnwiki?

Curious if you have any thoughts or ideas as I am not sure how to approach this issue at the moment.

Not overlapping with the infobox, but frozen. After hovering the cursor around the suggestion window, it shows the infobox's name sometimes (see the following figure); and most of the time it remains frozen, doesn't show anything.

Ankan_WMF added a comment to T273092: Manually test image recommendations POC results.

Some articles' contents can be culturally different for the user who will be using the image recommendation tool. In that case, the user needs to click on the image, and check whether it's a match or not by reading the description or checking the articles to which the image is already linked. Some users may understand due to their background knowledge, but it will not be the usual case. For these cases, is it ok to mark them as "unsure"?

Ankan_WMF added a comment to T268183: Re-think the organisation and the structure of the Growth pages on Mediawiki.

I was thinking about whether it will be suitable to create the help page (or any other relevant section) as a virtual tour format. For example, like this one: Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor. In that case, it will be more convenient for the readers to get acquainted with different works or projects of the growth team. We all know that readers feel more motivated to read thoroughly and engage accordingly if it is presented in an attractive way. Mostly current projects/features should be listed there as they will be germane.
