I have nothing against "related pages", I've been testing it for a while but: *its graphics suddenly worsened not so much time after the first release *it often overlaps with pages already listed in "see also" section *some results aren't relevant at all
IMHO all these issues should be addressed: *graphics should become customizable/adaptable to skin. It would be even better to have a keyword to embed it in a template: for articles without the template the "related pages" section would be automatically placed at the bottom, while for articles with the template it would be placed where Wikipedians wanted it to be. *it should be able to parse see also section in order to avoid duplicates, this could also be solved with the following issue though *users should be able to mark a result as "non relevant" (or duplicate, per above): let's say if 10 people mark the result as non relevant it won't longer be shown/it won't be shown for six months
Finally I'm wondering: does it embeds informations from our internal, extra precious, source of knowledge named Wikidata?

This feature appears to be an automated edition of the "See also" section on English Wikipedia. Having both Related Articles and See also feels like a usability issue.
Has there been any discussions on the wikis about this overlap? On 24 Mar 2016 05:18, "Moushira Elamrawy" melamrawy@wikimedia.org wrote:
Hello everyone,
Related pages feature has been in beta for over two months now, the future of the feature depends on our discussions. While we currently don't have a clear process for deciding collaboratively on an all languages product, Alsee and the reading team have put together this document on meta [0], as a request for comment, seeking comments and ideas on modifications required, and how to further test the feature. In fact, we are not sure if an rfc is the best strategy to move forward with product decisions, but lets see how the discussion evolves, and we might explore the need for a different process, as we move on with this one.
We managed to translate a brief introduction about the topic, please feel free to fully translate the document and/or further promote the discussion on your wiki. We are trying hard to avoid having an English centric discussion for a feature that could be available across all language projects, and while we don't have a clear solution for this, we are trying this method as an experiment, where at least our communities can leave comments in their preferred language if they aren't comfortable writing in English but they can understand it.
Please check the page, help with translation or promotion in your Wikipedia, and most importantly, comment on how you think it can evolve. :)
Lets see how this works!
All the best, M
