@ovasileva Now that this has an estimate, can it be prioritized or declined? Word has it you wanted an estimate first... :)

Sorry, @ovasileva I still see this task as purple "Needs Triage." Perhaps you prioritized it in a column somewhere? What I meant was "High" or "Normal" etc. :)

Moving back to needs analysis. @ovasileva was still deciding whether this was worth pursuing on Thursday.

^ @Jdlrobson: Why was this moved to Blocked Externally? I couldn't see anything in Gerrit…

It was blocked on the above (stopped any kind of merging) but now that's fixed.

Tested at http://reading-web-staging.wmflabs.org/wiki/1 by setting $wgRelatedArticlesEnabledSamplingRate to 0 and 1.

Upon further testing, I found that the config variable RelatedArticlesEnabledSamplingRate only works on skins that are not supported by BetaFeatures.
