Forum:RefreshSpecial forthcoming, comments/ideas?



The Wikia techs are working on a new administrator-only Special page (at my request) called Special:Refreshspecial. This will allow administrators to update the cached Special: pages more often, and with better control for fighting vandalism. It is similar to a tech running the updateSpecialPages.php script, but will allow finer control.

These are the options we've thought up so far
 * Choose which special pages you want to refresh (as seen in screenshot)
 * Rough time estimate or "expense" for each (Special:Wantedpages can take days on Wikimedia)
 * Rough time estimate for total execution.

Some other ones that might be useful:
 * Date of last refresh for each.
 * Anything else?

While it is in the development stage, we thought it might be good to get some feedback. So, feed us. --Splarka (talk) 08:47, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
