Run revalidateLinkRecommendations.php for wikis with more than 25 excluded sections
Closed, ResolvedPublic2 Estimated Story Points

Description

As discovered in T380329, up until today, the Add Link API was ignoring some excluded sections if more than 25 of them were excluded. That means we should run revalidateLinkRecommendations.php for (at least) those wikis.

In addition to that, this is probably a good opportunity to review the list of excluded sections. Considering the ignored sections were not causing a noticeable problem, maybe there is something that should be cleaned up.

Consensus from standup: We should run the script without looking at individual configuration, assuming community configuration has whatever the community prefers. Will run the script on all wikis then.

We discussed this with Urbanecm on IRC. If the number of sections in the "List of excluded sections from the Add link task" (Special:CommunityConfiguration/GrowthSuggestedEdits) exceeds 25, sections beyond 25 are not excluded due to an undocumented limit. We think that wikis should be informed about this. This issue was identified and resolved in T380329: az.wikipedia: Add Link tasks are completed while violating excludedSections configuration
