Thanks Roan, your statement sound very alarming for me; I'll open a specific thread about into wikisource-l quoting this talk. I'm doing any efford to avoid server/history overload, since I know that I am using a free service (I just fixed {{loop}} template to optimize it into it.source, at my best...) and if you are right, I've to change deeply my approach to #lst. :-( Alex _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
