User need

As a contributor, I want the Suggested Edits feed to recommend meaningful tasks related to topics I care about so I can easily find impactful ways to contribute and remain engaged over time.

Description

As part of the unified Personal Dashboard initiative, explore how personalized task recommendations could help contributors discover meaningful work based on their interests and past contributions.

Today, Suggested Edits primarily support newcomers with simple editing tasks. This investigation should evaluate how the same recommendation infrastructure could evolve to serve contributors across experience levels by surfacing opportunities that align with a contributor's demonstrated interests, expertise, and editing history.

Receiving 'articles about topics I usually edit about' and visual charts of one's edit types were newcomers' top 2 features of interest:

This work should:

• Review existing recommendation systems (for example, Suggested Edits, Newcomer Tasks, and Content Translation) and identify opportunities to reuse or extend them.
• Identify potential signals for personalization, such as selected interests, editing history, topic affinity, WikiProjects, or other contributor activity.
• Define an initial set of high-value task types that could be personalized for experienced contributors.
• Produce concepts or prototypes that could be tested through the Personal Dashboard.
