At https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Related_Pages it says "Editors may override these software selections by adding up to three {{#related: page title}} to the page." I tried to do this at Cincinnati chili and it doesn't seem to be working -- the articles I suggested aren't being offered. Instead it's still offering a combination of odd suggestions -- pages that article already links to, barely-related articles, actually bad suggestions, etc. Am I doing something wrong? I couldn't figure out where to find documentation for that template. Thanks for any assistance!

I started trying to fix it because one of the suggestions was a similar dish that has been tagged for notability and lack of sources for years and which certainly should never have been suggested to anyone. Are we working to improve these suggestions?

Huh, now it's working...maybe it just needed a bot to come by or something? So ignore that first para, lol. I'm more interested in whether we're working on trying to prevent such issues, thanks!

Bizarrely, it is now again NOT working. What the heck? Why would it start working, then stop?

Sounds like a bug relating to caching. Could you please open a bug report on phabricator.wikimedia.org ?

I've done so, thanks!
