Talk:Task recommendations for Wikipedia Editors

Filter out protected pages
Hi! I came across this after finding some of the test accounts on English Wikipedia, then having a discussion about it on IRC. If it's at all possible, the recommendations page should filter out semi-protected pages. I think it would be very confusing for a new user to be told first "you can edit this page!" and then "No, wait, you can't!" Howicus (talk) 00:09, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey. Yes, we specifically check that the current user can edit a page before recommending it, which covers any kind of protection, including semi-protection..  If you hit a bug with this, please let us know. Superm401 - Talk 03:39, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

How To Disable "Task Recommendations"?
Is this live? Someone is asking at the EN Wikipedia Help desk how to turn it off. Perhaps someone watching this page could reply there. -- John of Reading (talk) 12:23, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

(More) I think I've identified a problem: the person asking the question registered the account so long ago that it has no recorded creation date (ListUsers). Is this fooling the software into treating the account as new? -- John of Reading (talk) 12:32, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Brief Followup - I'm the person (Drbogdan) asking the question => how can I disable this "Task Recommendations" feature? (seems distracting to me at the moment) - related information about my original registration date may be noted on the following userbox code if interested => {{User:TydeNet/UBX/wiki user since|well before December 1, 2005[{{fullurl:Special:ListUsers|limit=1&username=Drbogdan}}] (or here => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2010_October_5#What_Is_My_Registration_Date.3F )  - in any case - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 13:16, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * FWIW - issue has been resolved - details at => https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk#How_To_Disable_.3D.3E_After_Edit_Saved.2C_Prompt_to_Edit_.22Similar_Article.22.3F - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 00:45, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
