Have the 'Primary Items' notifications that used to appear at the top of many Alphabetical Index Pages been eliminated?

This may relate to the periodic discussions about how people find 'the best' CVs on this site, such as via Favorites, Featured CVs, Recognized CVs...

Checking earlier comments in the Featured Games thread, I see 'Primary Links' in the database are referred to by Fergus. Indeed, I can query the database on that checkbox. I assume 'Primary Links' are the same thing as what also were called 'Primary Items' in the past, formerly shown at the top of many Alphabetical Index pages.

[edit: it might be nice if somehow Primary Links/Items had a Page (if only to explain what they are) that people could make comments on]

P.S.:

From the Recognized Variants thread, on the topic of Primary Items (from an exchange I had with Fergus that I'd forgotten - may be a good idea to post this in the present thread, too):

Fergus Duniho wrote on 2020-04-03 EDT 'That's something that David Howe instituted so that the most important pages would be at the top of the list when listing search results. I think he largely included the Recognized Variants, though some other things are also included. It might be a good idea to replace Recognized Variants and Primary Items with Featured Games and Featured Pages, the former being a subset of the latter. Featured pages would be ones that we want to draw greater attention to or that we expect users would be looking for more. These could include links to games that enough of us think highly of, links to well-known or popular games, and links to commercially available commercial games. These could be featured at the top of search results, as Primary Items are, but referred to as Featured Pages instead. Also, they could be a bit more dynamic than Recognized Variants, meaning we could drop something from the Featured Pages, such as a commercial game no longer being made, or a game that has been reevaluated.'
