Description

This task covers 3 use-cases defined under T367873 that would support the MVP versions of T368422 and T368718.

This exploration will consider approaches to, given a language pair, find articles to (a) create and (b) expand with a new section in the following cases:

Find articles related to a given topic area from "articletopic:" search.
Find articles in the intersection of two or more topic areas
Find articles that are part of active campaigns.

Test Steps

Filter status. Showing at the suggestions list which is the active filter and options to change it.

@GMikesell-WMF From a QA perspective, this task is possibly best tested via the UI, which would be done in the context of T368422: Custom translation suggestions: Basic topic selection and T368718: Community-defined Translation Collections: Single selection mode UI. If you want to test the API directly, there is interactive documentation where you can request translation recommendations based on source/target languages and other parameters.

Regardless of the specific testing being done, I would like to keep this task open until the features mentioned above have been stable in production for a few weeks. It's already the case for the first one. The second one is scheduled to be released next week.

@GMikesell-WMF The AC2 is expected to fail, since the code for page collections in CX/SX unified dashboard has not yet been deployed.

Additionally, there is no way to test the second item in the list inside the task description (find articles in the intersection of two or more topic areas). However, we can verify that the API supports this feature by sending requests directly to the Recommendation API with more than one topic inside the topic URL parameter. In the example below we are fetching recommendations that are related to both "women" and "sports" topics:
https://api.wikimedia.org/service/lw/recommendation/api/v1/translation?source=en&target=el&topic=women%2Bsports&count=24

Note: one should use %2B to separate the targeted topics in these requests.

I see, thanks for the information. I will move this to design sign-off. Thanks to all that work on this!
