Hello, Speedit!

These are important questions so I apologize for the delayed response. This short test was designed to understand the impact of contextual (in the text) links on rankings and focused on 11 terms and about 20 target URLs. There is still some analysis left to complete, but I plan to publish the results here on Community Central.

Our team has not decided on next steps here, but I agree that a goal of future tests should be to have more accurate target URLs that change depending on the context. Some sort of feedback process is also needed should this move out of the testing phase.

p.s. This code shouldn't break existing crosswiki links so that is a bug. I am going to have the team look into this, but feel free to send examples into Special:Contact (attn: Ducksoup).
