--- Comment #11 from Pol <p...@cooliris.com> 2010-09-22 03:58:21 UTC --- Our application is a free iPad application with more than 200,000 users. It's been the #1 free app during its launch for a week a couple months ago, and never left the top 10 in the Lifestyle category. As you can in its description, we're trying to create interesting alternative presentations of Wikipedia content to really make it look great on iPad: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id384224429?mt=8 Discover uses the parse action as a more efficient way to retrieve the contents of the pages from Wikipedia. It always uses the "page" argument, retrieving entire pages, which therefore should be in the cache (as indicated at the very end of the parsing result with the various timestamps). As far as I understanding, the application should be a good citizen toward the Wikipedia servers and it downloads less data this way. Please re-enable "action=parse" for entire pages as soon as possible, as Discover is effectively completely broken right now. For reference, here are all the exact parse API requests I could find in the source code: * action=parse&prop=displaytitle%%7Ctext%%7Ccategories%%7Cexternallinks&page=%@&redirects&format=xml * action=parse&prop=text%%7Cimages&page=%@&redirects&format=xml * action=parse&prop=text%%7Cimages&page=%@&redirects&format=xml * action=parse&prop=text&page=Wikipedia:Featured_articles&redirects&format=xml * action=parse&prop=images&page=%@&redirects&format=xml * action=parse&prop=links&page=Wikipedia:Featured_pictures&redirects&format=xml * action=parse&prop=text&page=Template:In_the_news&redirects&format=xml -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
