To beginner translators on the target wiki (the wiki of the currently selected target language), show article and section translation recommendations that are defined as "easy" by the recommendation API.
Options to categorize user experience level include
- Standard MediaWiki definitions of beginner and learner based on edit local count and days since account creation
- global edit count
Derived Requirement
Update the recommendation system so that:
- Beginner translators (on the target wiki) only see “easy” article and section recommendations as defined by the recommendation API.
- Beginner status is determined using one of the following:
- Standard MediaWiki definitions (based on local edit count and days since account creation).
- Global edit count (as an alternative criteria).
- Non-beginners continue to see the full range of recommendations (easy, medium, hard).
