And it turns out, unlike other feeds, for Mediawiki 1.16 feeds, "<!-- diff generator: internal 2009-09-07 20:40:16 -->" comments are chucked into the text body of every entry that involves a diff. So this causes the same articles to be replayed over and over, and even more insidious, mount up bigger and bigger in the already read articles of the nnrss newsgroup, O 1 090608 ?||WikiSysop : O 1 090701 ?||WikiSysop : O 1 090608 ?||WikiSysop : O 1 090701 ?||WikiSysop : O 1 090608 ?||WikiSysop : O 1 090701 ?||WikiSysop :... Note the alternating days. Personally I'll try using E runs the command gnus-summary-mark-as-expirable on every article in the nnrss group to try to clean things up, and of course file https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20601 to the perpetrators. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
