Change Details

Boost templates is a parameter used for rescoring, it's currently configured only for enwiki. IMHO, it's by far one the best criteria used to rescore documents. The purpose of this ticket is: **1/ review the way we configure boost templates:** - it's currently a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Cirrussearch-boost-templates|system message]] so only wiki admins can set-up these values. - I think it can be hard for wiki admins to adjust properly the weights - I'm not sure but we should maybe move this config into wmf-config **2/ extend the coverage** Other wikis should benefit from this feature but we need to discuss with each community to figure out what are the templates that make sense.

Configured templates for enwiki are : * Template:Featured article * Featured picture * Template:Featured_sound * Template:Featured_list * Template:Good_article While we cannot add too many templates here I think we can add more especially templates with negative boost (Stub ... ) We could in theory extend this feature to Categories if it makes sense.
