22/22 models were trained successfully in the 15th round of wikis.

Model evaluation has been completed and below are the backtesting results:

	[email protected]	[email protected]
quwiki	0.75	0.16
rmwiki	0.84	0.65
rmywiki	0.89	0.76
rnwiki	0.98	0.67
roa_rupwiki	0.76	0.57
roa_tarawiki	0.97	0.76
ruewiki	0.84	0.57
rwwiki	0.83	0.65
sawiki	0.75	0.13
sahwiki	0.77	0.43
satwiki	0.76	0.52
scwiki	0.80	0.54
scnwiki	0.91	0.56
scowiki	0.84	0.54
sdwiki	0.75	0.45
sewiki	0.95	0.69
sgwiki	1.00	0.89
shwiki	0.90	0.51
shnwiki	0.50	0.02
siwiki	0.74	0.13
skwiki	0.91	0.59
slwiki	0.83	0.53

CCing @MGerlach, in case he would like to add comments on the backtesting evaluation.

The conclusion on the backtesting results is that most of the languages look fine besides:

shnwiki has a low precision (0.50) and recall (0.02)
siwiki's precision (0.74) is slightly lower than the recommended one (0.75)

Talked to @MGerlach about these results and agreed that siwiki should be published but shnwiki shouldn't.

@kostajh, we published datasets for all 21/22 models that passed the evaluation in this round.

I ran this script for adding the link-recommendation task type and populating the excluded sections entries:

PHAB=T308141

    mwscript extensions/GrowthExperiments/maintenance/changeWikiConfig.php $WIKI \
            --page MediaWiki:NewcomerTasks.json \
            --create-only \
            --json \
            --summary "Growth features configuration boilerplate ([[phab:$PHAB]])" \
            link-recommendation \
            '{ "type": "link-recommendation", "group": "easy" }'
    jq "select(.wiki==\"$WIKI\" and .probability > 0.25) | .section" wiki_sections.jsonl \
        | jq --slurp --compact-output "unique" \
        | mwscript extensions/GrowthExperiments/maintenance/changeWikiConfig.php $WIKI \
            --page MediaWiki:NewcomerTasks.json \
            --json \
            --summary "machine-generated configuration for excluding sections from link recommendations ([[phab:$PHAB]]), feel free to improve" \
            link-recommendation.excludedSections \
            "`cat`"
    echo "$ORIGIN/wiki/MediaWiki:NewcomerTasks.json"
    echo "$ORIGIN/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:NewcomerTasks.json&diff=next"
    echo "Press <Enter> to continue"
    read # give time for manual verification
done

Note that the script didn't populate excludedSections for rnwiki, roa_rupwiki, roa_tarawiki and sgwiki because these were not present in the wiki_sections.jsonl, see T345562.

All wikis present results now.

Notes

rnwiki and sgwiki present a very low number of suggestions, 4 and 1 respectively, probably due to the scarce amount of articles (639 and 318). I think we can enable their frontends anyways wishing for the model to generate more results as articles grow. cc @Trizek-WMF

rmwiki and shwiki were not present in wikis.txt file leading to 400 errors on the API requests with this domains as parameters. Probably due to the fact the datasets were published before we fixed the publish-dataset.sh script in T340944. I've added them manually cc @kevinbazira

Agreed!

Just to confirm for Tech News purposes: Is this releasing next week even though there isn't a deployment train next week (20 Nov)? Or does the Tech News entry need to be moved to the following week (27 Nov) instead?
(The current entry says "Starting on Wednesday, a new set of Wikipedias will get "Add a link" [...]" (meaning 22 Nov). Thanks!

Thanks for your question. All required code for Add a link tasks is already in all production wikis. We will enable the new set of Wikipedias by performing a config backport in one of the available windows, probably at 14:00 UTC.

And (IIRC) when this code will be backported, activation is a config change, which is not impacted by the absence of train.
