--- Comment #9 from Gilles Dubuc <gdu...@wikimedia.org> --- You'll need to re-save the template and the changes should trickle down. The caching introduced at the end of last year was probably introduced as an operational necessity, I imagine that the lack of caching was inefficient. That sort of thing is rarely introduced for frivolous reasons, in all likelihood it means that the old cache-less technique was a strain on servers. The caching is what's preventing the time-based template from updating automatically. Re-saving each campaign shouldn't be necessary, just re-saving the common template should do the job. That sounds like a reasonable workaround to me. The automatic time-based conditions won't work (since you have to re-save the template anyway), but at least there's only one template to update for all campaigns. Thus it scales to any amount of campaigns running at the same time. I agree that having to re-save all campaigns would be a major inconvenience and time sink, but it's not necessary (granted, once again, that the template existed the last time the campaigns were saved). The issue of having to re-save the template at a specific time remains the only inconvenience, but it's a side-effect of the caching that I think can't be worked around easily. I'm not very familiar with templates, could you show me what rules/syntax are used for the time-based stuff? This way I could investigate how they work and if there's any chance the campaigns could support them better. I'm not very hopeful at this point, though, I think it's quite likely that this limitation is going to be impossible to avoid. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
