There are certain types of articles that we do not want to suggest to users for adding links, because those articles are not productive places for links by newcomers. One of those types is disambiguation pages -- we do not want to suggest those to newcomers.
This is similar to work that Platform Engineering is doing for image suggestions in:
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resolved | MMiller_WMF | T252822 [EPIC] Growth: "add a link" structured task 1.0 | |||
| Resolved | kostajh | T266437 Add a link engineering: backend product specifications | |||
| Resolved | kostajh | T261396 Add a link: engineering tasks for initial release | |||
| Resolved | Tgr | T261408 Add a link engineering: Maintenance script for retrieving, caching, and updating search index | |||
| Resolved | Tgr | T279128 Add a link engineering: exclude disambiguation pages |
This is not required for our initial release to pilot wikis, but I understand if it makes sense to do it before the initial generation of tasks so that we would not have to regenerate them to remove disambiguations later. @kostajh, what do you recommend?
