Forum:ListUsers wont update.

On Sensible Wiki (sensible.wikia.com), the Special:ListUsers page wont update and it shows that there are NO users online, yet the stats say there are 6 users active. How do you update it? And how do you clear the cache? Jempcorp {User:Jempcorp | talk} 12:53, June 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Looks like a bug. Use w:c:sensible:Special:Contact. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 8:45 AM PST 27 Jun 2010
 * Tried that, but dont know where to find the answer. Jempcorp {User:Jempcorp | talk} 05:56, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * The list seems to be updating rather slowly, it may be showing older data instead of what you think you're seeing. It may even take a couple of days to update some of that info.--IcecreamKitten 09:00, June 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Active Users does not mean active as in 'currently on-line' IIRC its defined in the stats as active in the last month. On the stats page there is a section of definitions of the terms used below the table. As Iscecreamkitten says some of the special pages take several days to update. This is because they run as background tasks to reduce server load (most say at the top 'This date is cached' & have a time stamp of when last updated). Having 'Realtime' data would create a huge load on the system as the database the stats are pulled from would need updating completely after ever little edit. Listusers does a much more current search of the status of users, but it may not be instantaneous if traffic is heavy - BulldozerD11 14:03, June 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * This looks like a problem only staff can fix. If you try w:c:sensible:Special:ListUsers, all the user counts in the "Groups" area are listed as zero (0) which shouldn't happen. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 10:46 AM PST 28 Jun 2010

Because of this some non-critical functions, like those stats collectors, are temorary offline. Please mind the dust while we are under construction. --Uberfuzzy 17:52, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
