StringFunctions and any similar implementation are pretty much outright banned and Rich has pivoted the conversation toward taking a more holistic approach to resolving this bug. His point was that a new wiki templating system would be faster. My point is that it's important when discussing a more holistic approach to note that it isn't just string manipulation that makes rendering slow as shit. The entire recursive brace substitution scheme is awful. If something like <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Citation/core&action=edit> could be rewritten in a sane language, it would undoubtedly improve rendering time of large pages _and_ allow for extra goodies like string manipulation. One can dream. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
