As part of T395524, we deployed the “Add a link” Growth feature to 100% of users on English Wikipedia. This made the no-link-recommendation variant, originally used for partial deployments, obsolete.
Since the experiment is now disabled and we no longer need to exclude a subset of users, we should remove the no-link-recommendation variant from configuration and any related code paths.
Acceptance Criteria:
- Confirm with @KStoller-WMF that there is no plan to revert to a partial deployment state for enwiki.
- There is no plan to revert to a partial deployment (although there is always potential that this is something the community will ask for after release. Let's wait at least a sprint after the enwiki release).
- Remove the no-link-recommendation variant from CommonSettings.php and any other relevant configuration files.
- Remove any associated logic in GrowthExperiments that references this variant.
- Verify that “Add a link” remains enabled for 100% of users after cleanup.
- Update documentation (if any) that references the variant.
