These experiments are very interesting. However, it seems like they're only focused on Wikipedia – maybe consider also Wikimedia Commons content in regards to discovery. It's the 2nd largest Wikimedia project and has lots of well-organized quality content that at the same time is very undiscovered (see 2 examples in the images). I think there the gap between usefulness and discovery is largest. One example would be to show a panel of high-quality images (e.g. datagraphics about the subject or time-lapse videos) relating to the article in a panel below it where people can load more files or go to the linked Commons category. Please also see meta:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Do something about Google & DuckDuckGo search not indexing media files and categories on Commons.
Lastly, for better identifying related articles of interest please check out https://github.com/geohci/list-building-interface/issues/18 – that tool could be used and extended. There also is much potential in the Wikipedia app feed for content discovery such as enabling multiple different tiles recommending articles one may be interested (in different ways and using different input data such as different base articles).
