hi all, I am using 'add a link' on the FR Wikipedia for mathematics only and i receive a suggestion. When entering the process, i get soon a popup message telling that 'there are no more suggestions available for this article' exiting to next article to process. It is strange, in this case the initial article should not have been proposed (... ?). Article -> https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Th%C3%A9or%C3%A8me_de_Prokhorov&gesuggestededit=1&veaction=edit and number of suggestions left -> 392.

This often appears 1 case on 10 or less maybe and is not good to retain newcomers. This same article is presented again and again regularly next time an article is suggested (and of course no link can be set) - its boring. Should it be linked with the domain (math) ? on internal sorting process ?. Thanks. --Christian 🇫🇷 FR ⛹🏽 Paris 2024🗼 (talk) 07:42, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for letting us know! I agree this isn't a good user experience. My understanding is that this "there are no more suggestions available for this article" error happens occasionally for a variety of reasons. With the current suggestion model and backend we can't prevent this error entirely, but perhaps we should look into how oven it's happening, and see if there are any further improvements we can make to limit the frequency that an editor ends up seeing this error.

Thanks for the feedback!
