Important Pages {Wiki}

Principle

Apply the divide & conquer stragegy more generally to focus on what actually makes a difference no matter the number of pages.

Example of important pages

Note that those too should ideally also apply divide & conquer.

1. this one?

3. LinkOfTheMonth and LinkOfTheYear
4. Cosmology#CurrentModel
5. Beliefs#List
6. ImprovingPIM#TrackMovingGoals

Constraints

• remain dynamical since the change of one page importance has consequences for its related page
• automated ranking might not be sufficient as some behavior might not reflect the importance of the page
  • e.g. knowing that a topic is important yet failing to improve or not yet dedicated the time to do so (so frequency of update or size are not enough)
  • allows to distinguish between explicit goals and actual behavior that might or might not participate to it

Solution

boost (or lower) ranking per page

• via dedicated explicit parameter as PTV
  • fixed range e.g. from -1 to +1
    • but it forces to re-order previous one as a new one get added
  • dynamic and then normalized within the pre-defined range
    • but forces to really know what other scores have been given
  • default value would be neutral
• via existing related PTVs
  • startrecall, recall, startprepare, ...
• via graph metrics
  • see existing groupkeypages.php and groupstats.php.

groupkeypages.php has been update to have access to related PTVs but is not yet using them in a composite metrics.

Note that this should also be applied to ImprovingPIM#VisualDecayOfInformation.
