Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Filed after testing T372333

Steps:

  • on dewiki wmf.21 go to Special:Homepage and select the structured task - Add link. The number of articles will be display (the number matches (or close enough) the number of the same task types on Special:NewcomerTasks
  • Click on the Done button to select Add link task type.
  • Start clicking through the suggestion cards and watch the counter (uggested-edits-pager)
  • At some point, usually before 15th task, the counter would display a quite reduced number of fetched tasks - 15-25 tasks instead of the initial number (see the animated gif below)

Note

  • the issue exists on itwiki and eswiki,and uzwiki; frwiki seems to be ok.
  • when Special:Homepage is just enabled, the number of add link tasks is very low and doesn't match with the numbers on Special:NewcomerTaskInfo
