Description

This task organizes the work of making Suggestion Mode available via a URL parameter.

Deployment timing

We'd like for Suggestion Mode to be available via the train that will rollout the week of Wednesday, 15 October 2025.

Story

As someone interested in contributing to the development of Suggestion Mode, I'd like there to be an easy and non-invasive way to use Suggestion Mode in production articles (and invite volunteers across experience levels to do the same), so that I can evaluate how it's working and generate ideas for how it could be improved

Requirements

Suggestions should be made available via the following URL parameters, when appended to any VE edit session (desktop or mobile):

Parameter	Description	URL	Notes
`&ecenable=suggestions`	Suggestions based on Edit Checks currently deployed	https://5ad535f7f7.catalyst.wmcloud.org/w/index.php?title=New_York_City&veaction=edit&ecenable=suggestions	At present, the only Suggestion that available in this mode will be one based off of Reference Check
`&ecenable=suggestions,experimental`	Suggestions with all the experimental checks as well	https://5ad535f7f7.catalyst.wmcloud.org/w/index.php?title=New_York_City&veaction=edit&ecenable=suggestions,experimental

When appended to the URL of any VE edit session, no Edit Checks should be shown, only the Suggestions relevant to the article I'm viewing.

Just suggestions with the default add reference check	https://5ad535f7f7.catalyst.wmcloud.org/w/index.php?title=New_York_City&veaction=edit&ecenable=suggestions
