The easy and dirty way would be to disable the caching by setting $wgParserCacheType to CACHE_NONE. The right solution would be to do $parser->disableCache(); when your extension kicks in to mark that page uncacheable. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extensions_FAQ#How_do_I_disable_caching_for_pages_using_my_extension.3F Yet the optimum one would be to add the user status to the cache, so pages are cached both for users and guests but each get their appropiate version. _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
