Description

It isn't clear what is the current selection algorithm. Is it based on the first link in the sentence that has image in the lead section? first '''[[bolded link]]''' etc - this is not documented in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mobile_Gateway/Mobile_homepage_formatting or anywhere else in mediawiki.org.
