@aaron As Hoo sais, the Special page is for editing the entity. That should not be done based on stale data. Do you have an alternative suggestion? Usually, the data from the slave would be fine, but there is no way to know if it is stale or not, until we ask the master DB. How is this handled for action="">
The second case (access from Lua) should only happen as a fallback, when the entity isn't found in the slave DB. This is probably rare... except when the entity actually doesn't exist, but we can't be sure until we hit the master DB.
But I guess for the second case, it would be OK to fail if the data isn't on the slave DB yet. What do you think, @hoo?
