Add a Link: suggest more relevant links
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Description

As a newcomer, I want the links suggested via "add a link" to be as relevant as possible, because then my edit is more likely to be valuable.

Tune the service parameters for underlinked tasks so instead of trying to link the first few linkable words it finds, it suggests some of the most relevant links. Follow up from T301096.

Acceptance Criteria

When I received "Add a Link" suggestions,

Event Timeline

What we could easily do on the PHP side is to make the score threshold or the link count somewhat dependent on how underlinked the article is. But that would require more effort from the Add Link service (more link candidates to check) so it might or might not turn out to be feasible, or might require performance improvements to the service (which would be nice to do anyway, but a bit outside our comfort zone).
