Extension talk:RelatedArticles

How does this extension determine Related pages?

Any objections to reading web team driving new development in this extension?
Given this extension is currently unmaintained, the Reading/Web is interesting in take ownership of this and doing additional development inside it to create an API driven "related articles" panel at the bottom of articles. To begin with we will build this in the mobile beta and surface it as a desktop beta feature. I'm personally interesting in allowing editors to correct inaccurate automatic results using the related magic word.

Details and screenshots of the new feature on mobile, which has shown an increased engagment on our app can be found on phabricator. Jdlrobson (talk) 18:14, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

After installing extension get error: RelatedArticles/RelatedArticles.class.php: CustomData extension is not properly installed. But this not described in Installation section. That right?

CirrusSearch not working
I only see Related Pages when they are specified on the page itself. I have CirrusSearch installed and it works perfectly as the default search for my MediaWiki installation. However, enabling  seems to have no effect.

Permission Error on extensions.json
MediaWiki 1.30.0 returns error with the version of RelatedArticles that is available for default downnload as of this moment. The dev version of RelatedArticles from the GitHub repo does not have this error anymore. HTH --GravaT (talk) 20:35, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

How to relate by Tag, instead of by page-name?
Eg, i'd like to create a tag, MyTag, and then relate several pages with. Is that possible?

I'm guessing it could be done with a common page that they all point to, where the hub page is called "MyTag". Maybe could be a sub-category page.
