Idea Title
Universal record semantic Suggestions: Extending semantic_suggestion to News and Custom record types
What is my idea about?
TYPO3 sites heavily use EXT:news and custom record types, but lack automated semantic linking tools for this content. Editors must manually curate “related content” links, which is:
Time-consuming: Manual selection for hundreds of articles
Inconsistent: Quality depends on editor knowledge and available time
Static: Relationships don’t update when content changes
The SEO impact is significant: news articles and custom records often remain isolated, missing internal linking opportunities that would create topical authority clusters (semantic cocoons).

What do you want to achieve by 30th of April 2026?
Stable release of semantic_suggestion v4.0 with News integration
Generic RecordAnalysisService supporting any Extbase model via configuration
Documentation with integration examples for EXT:news and custom extensions
Scheduler tasks for News similarity calculation
Frontend plugin displaying semantic suggestions for news articles
Backend module showing semantic relationships between records
What is the potential impact of your idea for the overall goal?
Improved content quality: Automated relevant suggestions increase user engagement and reduce bounce rates
SEO enhancement: Internal linking improvements benefit all TYPO3 News users (one of the most popular extensions)
Editor productivity: 30-50% time savings on manual related content curation (proven with page-based implementation)
Open source ecosystem: Generic architecture enables community extensions for other record types (EXT:tt_address, EXT:events2, custom models)
How does your Idea align with the strategic goals for TYPO3 v14.
This proposal directly supports three strategic goals:
Strategic Goal 2 — Reducing Complexity: Automates the tedious manual process of linking related content, providing clear, unified best practices for internal linking
Strategic Goal 3 — Enabling Better Content: Enhances content creation experience by automatically surfacing relevant related content, improving editorial workflow efficiency
Strategic Goal 7 — Improve Interconnectivity: Expands TYPO3’s integration capabilities by connecting pages, news, and custom records through semantic relationships, creating a unified content network
Which budget do we need for this idea?
7500 Euro
