[Milestone] Deploy LLM-generated MoS suggestions as experimental (Phase 1)
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

This task tracks the work involved with deploying the initial set of LLM-generated MoS edit suggestions in an experimental state within Suggestion Mode at Phase 1 wikis. Which, in this case, is en.wiki.

Stories

  • As an experienced editor at en.wiki who has Suggestion Mode enabled, I want to see edit suggestions surfaced within the articles I'm editing so that I can quickly discover concrete, and actionable improvements without having to scan the entire page myself.
  • As WMF staff responsible for the Edit Suggestion pipeline, I want to understand how experienced volunteers are engaging with the LLM-generated suggestions, so that I can assess the quality/reliability of this initial set and ultimately decide, whether this suggestion generation method seems reliable enough to show to newcomers

Decision(s) to be made

  • 1. Learn whether experienced volunteers at en.wiki think the experimental suggestions are sufficiently reliable to be shown to newcomers so that we can decide: Will we invest the effort to scale this initial set of LLM-generated MoS suggestions across languages via T431376?

Thursday, 6 Aug 2026Deploy LLM-generated MoS suggestions as experimental to experienced en.wiki editors

Open question(s)

  • 1. How might we enable volunteers to customize the language that appears within each LLM-generated suggestion card?
  • 2. How will we evaluate whether these volunteers are sufficiently useful and reliable to scale these suggestions to more people (both on en.wiki and at other projects)?

Hey @ppelberg , thank you for creating this task.
Could you help me to understand how we target experienced editors?
Can any user (experienced or not) enable editing suggestions (or llm generated editing suggestions) ? or is experimental mode only for experienced users.
Is this specific to LLM generated suggestions or does it apply to all suggestions?
Will some users already know the articles with LLM generated editing suggestions?

Thank you!

Hey @ppelberg ,

I have a question around how we plan to run this experiment and how the new batch of suggestions should look like.
We will generate a new set of suggestions soon.

How many suggestions should we create and which articles we should target depends on how we run the experiment.

  • Option1: We show suggestions to users only when they click edit and we don't inform the experienced users in advance.
    • In this case we need to generate more suggestions to increase the chance of the suggestions being seen.
    • We can also target articles that are frequently edited with a certain threshold. This should help with increasing the chance of suggestions being seen and we prefer not to suggest edits for articles that get many edits.
  • Option2: We let users know which pages have edits in advance.
    • In this case, we don't need to pick articles by their edit count.
    • Low amount of suggestions would be enough similar to what we currently have in the api.

I think we go with option1 but I wanted to share some thoughts and make it clear.

So does option 1 is a part of Suggestion Mode and option 2 a part of something like newcomer's dashboard? Could they be enabled both? (in the future, not in this experiment)

Hey @Wellverywell , good suggestion!
I think it's feasible to have them in the newcomer's dashboard in the future.
