Re: [Wikitech-l] garbage characters show up when fetching wikimedia api

Guys, Thanks so much for your prompt feedback. Basically, what I am doing is to keep sending the request based on date & time until we reach to another day. Specifically, what I have is something like: api_url = 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php' date='20160504022715' while (True):

[Wikitech-l] load.php will now enforce the "no sessions" constraint

It has long been the case that the load.php entry point, to support more aggressive caching, should not depend on details of the current session. For example, it should not access the session user, and should use its own 'lang' parameter for i18n messages rather than the session user's language.

[Wikitech-l] Reviving SVG client-side rendering task
