Re: [Wikitech-l] Red links

See T39902 which I see that James has already added to the phab ticket here. The reason why we don't have redlinks as part of Parsoid output is that it defeats caching / storage. Everytime a page is created, all pages that link to it have to be flushed from storage. Subbu. On 11/03/2015 12:06

[Wikitech-l] Red links

Hi Subbu, How hard would it for Parsoid to mark red links in a way that the Mobile Content Service could detect them (e.g. add class="new")? I've filed https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T117519. Thanks, Bernd ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists

Re: [Wikitech-l] MW 1.25 extension registration - PHP constants redux

Hi Florian, There are times when I want to use constants for readability without using raw strings. The namespace example could be arguable - perhaps it's better to let an experienced MediaWiki administrator choose a different namespace to avoid collisions if necessary, although on the flip side w
