The template seems to be more oriented towards models that can be reused for other applications (which is the case of the models deployed on LiftWing). The Search MLR models are very specific to Search and make no sense to be reused outside of it. So the needs for documentation are slightly different in this case.

@calbon , do you have thoughts on the priority of doing a Search ML Ranking model card is given the above? (Not that we won't do it, more so about the timing of it)

I think the priority can be low for you all. We are just getting starting with some other model cards @kevinbazira is making. Once we have a better idea how we want to do it, then expanding to other models makes sense.

The goal isn't to make it possible for other people to reuse the models, the goal is for the community and other stakeholders to have a place where they can understand what AI is affecting their Wikipedia experience and have a venue to learn/discuss/understand/debate/critique that.
