Description

Once users are given some suggestions, they may want to keep exploring more suggestions. There are several possibilities but the final call will depend on the observed behaviour since the appropriate approach depends on the quality of translations.

Options considered:

  • Keep a fixed number and refresh all of them with new suggestions.
  • Start with a fixed number and provide an explicit "load X more" to get X new suggestions.
  • Infinite scrolling: provide as many suggestions as we have as the user scrolls.
  • Provide category-based filtering to get suggestions with some control on the knowledge area.

The amount of suggestions and the degree of control provided will affect the user behaviour. We want to avoid the suggestion list to become too cluttered but at the same time provide enough options to find useful articles.

Infinite scrolling: provide as many suggestions as we have as the user scrolls.

This is what currently being implemented at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/239357

Infinite scrolling is done as of October 1 2015.

Should we try other options, or close this?

The different strategies have their pros and cons. For example:

  • Infinite list it makes it fast to explore the content but users won't pay much attention to each suggestion the noise-to-signal ratio may grow too much.
  • A finite set of suggestions (e.g., 10 at a time) that you can refresh, may encourage a more careful selection (saving for later, discard individual items, or all of them) while still being fast to go through many suggestions (but without making the page grow).

I'm more inclined to try the second approach, but I think we need to observe the user behaviour once saving for later (T111026) and discard option are available (T111027).

Amire80 removed projects: LE-CX6-Sprint break, LE-CX6-Sprint 4, ContentTranslation-Release6.

OK.

I removed the release and sprint tags, and unassigned it from Santhosh for now. If we want to continue trying strategies, let's discuss it separately and re-add it to a future sprint (or better, create sub-tasks).

I removed the release and sprint tags, and unassigned it from Santhosh for now.

Why removing the release tag? We need to do some design work on it, and it is closely related to the release goals.

If we want to continue trying strategies, let's discuss it separately and re-add it to a future sprint (or better, create sub-tasks).

It's not about trying strategies. From the very beginning, as captured in the description, the ticket was about figuring out the best way to access more suggestions. I expect the ticket to evolve into a more clear recommendation, and then to be implemented. For that, we need it to be in a sprint to work on the design part of it and then the implementation part.

The infinite scroll was just available as a side-effect when fixing other kinds of lists, I don't think that should be used to close or ignore the current ticket.

Option to refresh the list of suggestions (T115008) is already supported, which seems to work. Further work in T113257 can provide more control to users.
