Suggested Edits
There are three basic approaches for setting up suggested edits, the main functionality of GrowthExperiments, in a developer setup:


 * 1) Have the extension use the search API of a remote (production) wiki. You won't have to deal with setting up search locally, and you will get a wide range of realistic task suggestions, but the articles suggested for those tasks won't exist on your wiki so most editing-related functionality won't work. This is the easiest way to get the homepage and guidance working in general, and to QA task suggestions. It doesn't work for structured link recommendations though since those aren't enabled on any production wiki yet.
 * 2) Set up search locally, copy-paste or import a couple articles from some real wiki. This is quite a bit more effort but doable (on Vagrant it should mostly work out of the box). It's good for backend development, probably not really worth the effort for frontend development.
 * 3) Mock all the backend logic involved with static PHP code. This is nice for frontend work as you get direct and full control over the responses from the backend.

Set up search locally
In Vagrant search can be set up with  (but it will be set up automatically as a dependency if you provision the   role). For Docker, see MediaWiki-Docker/Configuration recipes/ElasticSearch. For other setups, a basic configuration is:

See the setup notes of Extension:CirrusSearch for more details.

You can use the CirrusSearch maintenance script  for setting the ORES topics of wiki pages.

To use settings from cswiki:


 * 1) اتبع تعليمات ElasticSearch المذكورة في  MediaWiki-Docker/Configuration_recipes/ElasticSearch.
 * 2) انسخ محتوى ملف ‎MediaWiki:NewcomerTopicsOres.json إلى العنوان http://localhost:8080/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:NewcomerTopicsOres.json&action=edit. (يتعين أن تسجل الدخول بصفة إداري على ميدياويكي)
 * 3) انسخ محتوى الملف ‎MediaWiki:NewcomerTasks.json إلى العنوان http://localhost:8080/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:NewcomerTasks.json&action=edit. (يتعين أن تسجل الدخول بصفة إداري على ميدياويكي)
 * 4) أضف المتغير ‎  إلى الملف.
 * 5) أضف المتغير ‎  إلى الملف.
 * 6) أضف المتغير ‎  إلى الملف  ..

To use settings from other wikis, replace "cs" with the language code of the desired wiki (for  and  ).

Link recommendations
Your local development environment can query the "external traffic" production release of the link recommendation service. Access is proxied via the api-gateway (api.wikimedia.org) which requires an access token to utilize the API. That means you need to generate a personal access token (https://api.wikimedia.org/wiki/Documentation/Getting_started/Authentication#Personal_API_tokens), when you will use the access token as the value for GELinkRecommendationServiceAccessToken in LocalSettings.php:

To allow non-existent pages (red links) as suggested edits, add the following to LocalSettings.php

To enable link recommendation tasks for the currently logged in user, run the following from the browser console (while on Special:Homepage):

To update the link recommendations for each topic: To see which articles have corresponding link recommendation tasks:


 * 1) Go to your local wiki

API: 2022 production edition
You need to set up an SSH tunnel as there is not a public facing API yet.


 * 1) edit   on your laptop and add
 * 2) set up your SSH tunnel:
 * 3) Make a test request on your laptop:   Note that the   option is needed to ignore SSL validation

To skip SSL validation, make sure the following is set:

The image suggestions API retrieves suggestions for a given article ID in production. In non-production environments, we need to query by the article title rather than the ID since the article ID is different. This is controlled by  (should be set to true by default).

Finally, set the config values in your LocalSettings.php: $wgGEImageRecommendationServiceUrl = 'https://image-suggestion.discovery.wmnet:30443'; $wgGEImageRecommendationApiHandler = "production"; // ID of the wiki from which to query suggestions $wgGEImageRecommendationServiceWikiIdMasquerade = "ptwiki";

API: MVP edition
To use the live image suggestions API with the Wikipedia matching the wiki's language, set

Other settings

To use Commons as a file repository (without this the image metadata won't work), set

To enable image recommendation tasks for the currently logged in user, run the following from the browser console (while on Special:Homepage):
