Background
We are going to bring image recommendations into the Android app. Presently, Growth has a mechanism for allowing admins to turn off the feature for their wiki.

| Resolved | Dbrant | T327535 [SPIKE] Research allowing communities to turn off image recommendations feature for Android App |
There is an API that we can query to tell whether image recommendations are enabled on a given wiki:
https://es.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=paraminfo&format=json&modules=query%2Bgrowthtasks&formatversion=2
Notice that the tasktypes structure includes the value image-recommendation. On a wiki where this is not enabled, this value will not be present.
The wiki page where administrators can configure which newcomer tasks are enabled is here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:NewcomerTasks.json
Perfect, thanks @Dbrant , this tells me we are okay to bring the feature into the app while respecting community configs. Great News!
