provide a reason when rejecting a suggestion

Hi all, when rejecting the suggestion i would be glad to provide the reason. It makes the newcomer responsible, improves the tracability and could help to adjust the model. For example in an article speaking of a time of 20 minutes, i was suggested a link to the newspaper 20 minutes (FR Wikipedia). When i reject and i could say because one is a period of time, the other is a newspaper. --Christian 🇫🇷 FR ⛹🏽 Paris 2024🗼 (talk) 07:50, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback, @Wladek92!

When an editor rejects a link suggestion, we log a rejection reason. We provide four reasons why a link may be rejected and "Linking to wrong article" is one of the rejection reasons. We aren't logging that reason publicly, but the hope is that eventually we might start to use this suggestion rejection data to help further improve the "Add a link" model. It's a complex process, especially since we have a different model for each language currently, but I definitely agree that it would improve this task further if we could start to use rejection data in this way. Thanks for using the feature and providing us with feedback!

yes i have seen the 4 reasons but my remark was i have selected "wrong article" but we do not know what was wrong (homonimy, out of scope, ...), so that it would be an extension of the criteria possibly used to rafine further link selections. So let us keep for later.
