There might be an issue with your setup which causes the localisation cache to be rebuilt constantly. Most production sites I know are disabling automatic rebuilding. See manualRecache option in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgLocalisationCacheConf and the associated script to build the cache separately. If this helps, you may want to investigate what was causing the cache to be rebuilt. Are the contents of localization files changing for some reason? Are their modification times changing for some reason? -Niklas _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list -- mediawiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe send an email to mediawiki-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/mediawiki-l.lists.wikimedia.org/
