Doesn't having geographically located page caches reduce the doubling effect
in any given location?
Squids located in the US should be caching more en-US than en-GB, and those
in Europe should have more en-GB than en-US.

Hi!
I've read that usability is important for MediaWiki. Why don't integrate
wikitext syntax highlighting then? That will greatly improve editing of
the pages. There is Extension:WikEd which has most of the work
implemented already.

Are these releases in any way connected to MediaWiki releases though?
I understand that all that gets release on Wikimedia projects, but it'll be
great to have the rest of MW user base benefit from these as well (I have
personal interest here as you can imagine ;)).
Thank you,

I'm not sure where you got the statistics for that statement, but hey, you

I've been spending much of the last few work days tidying up an update to
our deployed codebase, which has been several weeks behind development for
most components.
I'll want to start deploying this in the morning (Pacific time), so we'll

Now that we got to ethics, I was wondering if it would be ethical for
me to inject bugs around the software, and then ask for bounties to
identify them! :-)
