Background
The reading-recommendations Home module ("Daily reads") is off by default. Enable it on the Beta Cluster so it can be tested end to end with real CirrusSearch results and QA'ed.
'wgGEHomepageReadingRecommendationsEnabled' => [ 'default' => true, ], 'wgGEHomepageReadingRecommendationsFeaturedCategory' => [ 'default' => 'Category:Featured articles', ],
Note we've removed the first config flag and went entirely with ContributorsGrowth logic in the end. Also note, that Beta Cluster doesn't provide TestKitchen extension so experiment won't be visible there.
Acceptance criteria for done
Refer to
ReadingRecommendations.md in GrowthExperiments for the settings.
- The module renders on Special:Homepage for a newcomer account.
- Interest-based recommendations appear for a user with saved interests; general recommendations appear otherwise.
The featured-category value needs to be a category that actually has members on Beta enwiki. And wgGEReadingRecommendationsFixtureFile should stay unset there so real recommendations are exercised.
